Into... is the debut album from american singer/songwriter/producer Alec Cole following his highly successful EP "Just Me" "Into..." was released December 18th 2015 under his own label Safe Haven Records the lead single from the album "Fucked Up" was released November 1st of 2015 it peaked at #3 on the top 20 airplay charts and #2 on the pop airplay charts it also peaked at #2 on the hot digital charts the singer then released his follow up single "Too Cool To Care" exactly a month later on December 1st of 2015 which gave the singer his first #1 debuting and peaking at #1 on the top 20 airplay charts and #3 on the pop airplay charts it also peaked at #2 on the hot digital airplay charts and was also given a fairly positive review from popular critic/blogger/fashion designer/model Honor Wynter who praised the production and Alec's vocals however she also stated that it had fallen a bit short lyrically and gave the track a 3/5

Alec began recording songs for the album immediately after the release of his debut EP "Just Me" which was released in April of 2015 the EP was praised by critics and fellow artists Alec however has stated that after the release he was slightly unhappy with the music he had released he had then started working on new music in secret while completely disappearing off the face of the earth he did however release Restraints as a single a few months later but once again disappeared before the news of him and Scott opening up a label together came out which was followed by two single releases Alec then took to Instagram to announce a few of the tracks from the album which holds nine different tracks on the standard edition and three more on the deluxe edition bringing it to a total of twelve tracks on the deluxe edition

Alec brings us an entirely new sound from his debut EP on this album leaving behind the acoustic strings for a more dream like pop sound breaking the album down into three different sections each containing three different songs the first section of the album "Into: The Wild" brings us a more upbeat fun sound as the topics range from adventure, exploration and confusion between the lines lust and love with the tracks "The Wild", "We Do", And "Wildfire" following "Into: The Wild" we get the next section "Into: The Dive" which goes deeper into the relationship it comes after the exploration and adventure of the wild bringing a more mellow laid back sound to it with topics ranging from wanting more out of a relationship, to finally taking the dive, and finally to the moment where things begin to fall apart containing tracks like "Waves", "Drown", and "You" and finally following "Into: The Dive" we close out the album with "Into: The Storm" giving us three emotional songs with darker sounds the topics range from heartbreak, relapse and finally moving on with tracks like "Fucked Up", "Fix Myself (ft. BANKS)", and "Too Cool To Care" which closes out the standard edition of the album the deluxe edition contains three more songs which range from songs about relationships to Alec's state of mind after releasing his debut EP and gearing up to debut a new sound the track titles are "Lion", "Love to Hate", and "Music"

TRACK 1

Title: The Wild
Label: Safe Haven Records
Genre: Alternative pop, dance pop
Lenght: 3:45
Writer(s): Alec Cole, Danielle "DREAM" Minami
Producer(s): Alec Cole, Brandon Grey

"The Wild" is the first track off of 17 year old American singer/songwriter/producer Alec Cole's debut album "INTO..." the song was written by Alec Cole and up-and-coming singer/songwriter Danielle Minami better known as DREAM the track was produced by Alec and Brandon Grey who has produced for quite a few big names most notably SYNCO he also gets a production credit on quite a few songs on this album later on the song is about meeting a new person, starting a new adventure, and exploring new sides to yourself and the person

Alec starts our journey into the wild with the first track on the album "The Wild" where he shows a new side to himself bringing out high energy synths and vocals matching the energy of the production showing us how versatile his voice could be despite not having the strongest vocals or the biggest range like some artists today he instead shows how well he knows his voice by adjusting it to fit the song perfectly the lyrics however are rather subpar and slightly lazy however the production and vocals do somewhat make up for the mediocre lyrics





My eyes are blinded by all the lights
Perfection by design
Breaking the silence with your desire
I don't even mind

Come closer to my chest
Leave your mark on my neck
Intoxicated through
The venom in this juice

Don't hold my hand too tight
Cause I don't need a guide
Let me explore your world tonight

Woah oh oh I wanna go into the wild
Woah oh oh I wanna breathe in the Devils smoke
In the wild


Lost in the rhythm caught up in the high
Crossing all the lines
Lost all control of me but I won't refrain
No boundaries tonight

Come closer to my chest
Leave your mark on my neck
Intoxicated through
The venom in this juice

Don't hold your tongue tonight
Just place your lips on mine
You can explore my world tonight

Woah oh oh I wanna go into the wild
Woah oh oh I wanna breathe in the Devils smoke


I want the liberation of your touch
I want to get lost in the jungle of this desire
Oh oh desire
Oh oh desire
Oh oh desire
Oh oh oh

*Instrumental*

Woah oh oh I wanna go into the wild
Woah oh oh I wanna breathe in the Devils smoke
In the wild


Wild, wild come on liberate me
Wild, wild come on liberate me
Wild, wild come on liberate me
Wild, wild come on liberate me

Title: We Do
Label: Safe Haven Records
Genre: Alternative pop, dream pop
Lenght: 3:52
Writer(s): Alec Cole, Danielle "DREAM" Minami, Brandon Grey
Producer(s): Alec Cole, Brandon Grey

"We Do" is the second track off of 17 year old American singer/songwriter/producer Alec Cole's debut album "INTO..." written by Cole, Minami and Brandon Grey the track was produced by Grey and Cole and is about the influence a person can have on you, how this person can show you new things, and how it feels to just get lost in a new world with someone

And continuing our journey into the wild we get the next track from Alec's album "We Do" which manages to mellow out a bit production wise however it still manages to keep an uptempo style despite lacking the energy from the previous track however it makes up for it with it's rather dreamlike style and with slightly better lyrics however despite these lyrics being better they still aren't as good as Alec could potentially be they are rather cute though and accompanying the sweet upbeat production and cute lyrics is a rather lazy vocal delivery which adds almost nothing to the song leaving only the production to really carry it




We don't, we don't focus on yesterday
We don't, we don't have time to waste
We don't, feel like we have to chase it down
We don't, we don't open our eyes
We don't, we don't close our minds
We'd rather walk around blind through our own world

And if our hearts go crashing
The way that our lips do
And if my brain is absent
My head's filled with you

We do, do what we want
Don't look down just take the jump
We do, do what we want
Tell heaven that hell doesn't feel too far
We do, do what we want
Don't reach for stars cause we want more
We do, we do, we do, do what we want!


What if, it ended up you and I?
What if, what if I didn't mind
What if, I was the plane you'd fly would it be alright?
Cause when you're singing all my songs
And you're dancing all alone
I can feel you in my soul, oh, oh, oh

So if our hearts go crashing
The way that our lips do
And if my brain is absent
My head's filled with you

We do, do what we want
Don't look down just take the jump
We do, do what we want
Tell heaven that hell doesn't feel too far
We do, do what we want
Don't reach for stars cause we want more
We do, we do, we do, do what we want!


Do what we want

We do, do what we want
Don't look down just take the jump
We do, do what we want
Tell heaven that hell doesn't feel too far
We do, do what we want
Don't reach for stars cause we want more
We do, we do, we do, do what we want!

Title: Wildfire
Label: Safe Haven Records
Genre: Alternative pop, dance pop
Lenght: 3:34
Writer(s): Alec Cole, Danielle "DREAM" Minami
Producer(s): Alec Cole, Brandon Grey

"Wildfire" is the third track off of 17 year old American singer/songwriter/producer Alec Cole's debut album "INTO..." and the final track on "INTO: The Wild" the song was once again written by Alec Cole and Danielle "DREAM" Minami and once again produced by the team of Alec Cole and Brandon Grey the confusion about the line between lust and love unsure what his feeling are for the person the song is about Alec compares the emotions to a wildfire

Closing out our journey into the wild we have "Wildfire" bringing back that uptempo high energy style we heard previously on "The Wild" with pulsating synths throughout the song accompanied by other upbeat sounds Alec brings back that high energy vocal style we previously heard as well giving us a great delivery here which makes up for the rather lazy delivery we were previously given the lyrics once again aren't amazing but they are better than the previous two songs making "Wildfire" probably the best song on this section of the album




I can't keep up
Keep up with the flames, I've tried to fight them
Is it just lust?
Or is it something more I'm hiding?
Down on my knees I pray
That til the rain comes I'll survive it
But higher burns the flames
The flames I've been denying

The fire is taking me
I can't contain
I don't even know what this is

This wildfire, my heart is burning for the truth
This wildfire, the flame I'm engulfed in is you
Oh, oh, oh, ohhhh
Oh, oh, oh, ohhhh


Fighting gets tough
When what you're fighting is your own feelings
It's all too much
I hear the flame coming it's hissing

The fire is taking me
I can't contain
I don't even know what this is

This wildfire, my heart is burning for the truth
This wildfire, the flame I'm engulfed in is you
This wildfire, my heart is burning for the truth
This wildfire, I can't breathe I'm burning in you
Oh, oh, oh, ohhhh
Oh, oh, oh, ohhhh


There's no more running, I'm ready now
The fire is too much I'll burn it out
There's no more running, I'm ready now
The fire is too much now

This wildfire, my heart is burning for the truth
This wildfire, the flame I'm engulfed in is you
This wildfire, my heart is burning for the truth
This wildfire, I can't breathe I'm burning in you
Oh, oh, oh, ohhhh
Oh, oh, oh, ohhhh

Title: Waves
Label: Safe Haven Records
Genre: Alternative pop, dream pop
Lenght: 3:33
Writer(s): Alec Cole, Airemese "Coke" Smith
Producer(s): Alec Cole, Airemese "Coke" Smith

"Waves" is the fourth track off of 17 year old American singer/songwriter/producer Alec Cole's debut album "INTO..." the song was written and produced by Alec Cole and Airemese Smith also known as Coke from the popular duo Rum & Coke the song follows "Wildfire" and continues on after realizing his feelings for the person the song is about are true and are more than just lust Alec sings about wanting to tell his companion but struggles to let her know it shows the progression of the relationship within the song written by Cole and Smith from "hooking up" to staying over to finally becoming something more

"Waves" leads us into the dive with excellent dreamy lighter synths throughout the track pulling us in followed by Alec's equally dreamy vocals keeping us in this song proves to already be a strong introduction for "INTO: The Dive" the lyrics despite not being groundbreaking are rather different as Alec sings about wanting more out of a hook up and gradually getting more and though it might not be incredible it definitely is rather sweet and finally we get a song that is close to being all around with Alec's versatile singing style the incredible yet simple production the only thing is the lyrics could have possibly flowed better but despite that the song is excellent and is bound to be a fan favorite




This is it, love, it's the last bite
We've both talked ourselves through the night
I kiss you on the cheek, and as I walk away
You open up and speak and I'm forced to stay

These waves are pulling me deep
You'll ask to come over and I'll be struggling to breathe
Oh, I will lay you down
Then I'll be left dreaming about the sounds, dreaming
about your waves now
In your waves, in your waves, in your waves, in your waves
In your waves, in your waves, in your waves


This is it, love, it's the last kiss
Tell myself no more, to let go of her
But you unravel my arms and I hold you close
Right now is beautiful, but tomorrow calls

Cause these, waves are pulling me deep
You'll ask to stay over and I'll be excited to sleep
Oh, the night's are cold but I can make it through another
Cause I'll be dreaming about the colors, dreaming
Of your waves now
In your waves, in your waves,


Cause when you're laying here with me tonight
My heart feels less lonely
And when I'm staring into your eyes
I'm ready to dive in
Oh, ohhh

Cause your waves are pulling me deep
You'll ask for permission to love me and I'll already be on my knees
Oh, fell for you so fast, don't waste time asking how
Thinking about forever is toxic, let's just act on right now
In your waves, in your waves, in your waves...

Title: Drown
Label: Safe Haven Records
Genre: Alternative pop, dream pop
Lenght: 4:52
Writer(s): Alec Cole
Producer(s): Alec Cole

"Drown" is the fifth track off of 17 year old American singer/songwriter/producer Alec Cole's debut album "INTO..." and was written and produced solely by Cole the song continues on from "Waves" as Alec sings about knowing how dangerous the person he's in love with can be but he also sings about accepting the risk that the person comes with because it's how he wants it

"Drown" continues on from "Waves" and once again brings us beautiful dreamy production along with lyrics to match Alec also manages to give a vocal delivery that flows along perfectly with the sweet and dreamlike production and lyrics finally delivering on all three of the main factors "Drown" might be one of the best songs on the album especially the bridge which Alec gets a chance to show off his skills in production as he builds the song with the production and with his vocals which are layered all over the song with great production great lyrics and vocals that flow perfectly this could end up being the most popular song on the album and maybe even the next single




On the deep side of your eyes
Warning signs but this is how I want it
Feels good but I know that you're bad
Dangerous but I can't evade
If I could I wouldn't escape
Cause I'm in love with this trance

Got me locked in your grip
I'd rather drown in you than swim
Open up and stop me from breathing
Fill my lungs with only you
Suffocating like I knew I would
But I love it, this is what I wanted

I swear to god this feels like drowning
Your eyes are pulling me in deep
But it's exactly how I want it
It's exactly how I want it
And maybe I can reach the surface
But I think I'd rather stay under
Cause it's exactly how I want it
It's exactly how I want it
(Drowning in love, in you)


My brain is trying to use logic
Maybe I should swim back and take a breath
But your current keeps on pulling me away from shore
But I hope that these waves last
I crave your touch cold like that
Kiss me once pull me in further

Got me locked in your grip
I'd rather drown in you than swim
Open up and stop me from breathing
Fill my lungs with only you
Suffocating like I knew I would
But I love it, this is what I wanted

I swear to god this feels like drowning
Your eyes are pulling me in deep
But it's exactly how I want it
It's exactly how I want it
And maybe I can reach the surface
But I think I'd rather stay under
Cause it's exactly how I want it
It's exactly how I want it
(Drowning in love, in you)


I don't want to breathe
(Drowning in love, in you)
Cause this is how I want it to be
(Drowning in love, in you)
And maybe I
(Drowning in love, in you)
Maybe this is how I die
(Drowning in love, in you)
Cause I'm not coming out
(Drowning in love, in you)
Because I want to drown
(Drowning in love, in you)
I want to go like this
(Drowning in love, in you)
So just let me subside
(Drowning in love, in you)
(Drowning in love, in you)

I swear to god this feels like drowning
Your eyes are pulling me in deep
But it's exactly how I want it
It's exactly how I want it
And maybe I can reach the surface
But I think I'd rather stay under
Cause it's exactly how I want it
It's exactly how I want it
(Drowning in love, in you)

TRACK 6

Title: You
Label Safe Haven Records
Genre(s): Alternative pop, indie-pop, dream pop
Length: 2:56
Writer(s): Alec Cole
Producer(s): Alec Cole

"You" is the sixth track off of 17 year old American singer/songwriter/producer Alec Cole's debut album "INTO..." and the final track from "INTO: The Dive" the track was once again written and produced by Alec Cole by himself the song proves Alec's statements in "Drown" to be right as the person in the relationship seems to have done something to hurt Alec however Alec being in love cannot seem to let go and decides not to believe everything he knows is true in hopes that he can stay with his partner however at the end of the song it's clear that she has left him

"You" brings an end to into the dive this time Alec shows a slightly darker side to with the production which is something we've come to know from Alec given his last two singles however this track somehow also maintains a hint of that dreamlike sound from the previous two tracks he also gives us one of the best vocal deliveries we've heard from him on the album yet as he shows a new level of emotion in his vocal sounding almost broken he also gives lyrics that are equally heartbreaking to his vocal performance giving us a minute to really take in the heartbreak that this young 17 year old boy has already experienced at his age when I first heard the song I thought it was one of the weaker tracks however after giving it another listen I am prepared to say this is possibly the best song on the album due to the vocal delivery alone




Calm waters were cool
But the tide starts to change
The storm clouds rolling in
But with you I lay
Clear as day now turned to black
I'll try to ignore it as much as I can
Cover my ears so I won't hear the sound
My heart isn't broke but you're bending it now
Calm waters were cool
But the tide starts to change
The storm clouds rolling in
But with you I lay

Blinded to the truth
I didn't want to see this happen
I believe you
Even though I know your words are fake
Cause I can't leave you
Without you is hell
Hey...

Something told me that the tide would be violent
But I chose to swim I was ready to die
Cause your beauty hazed my image of you
Blurring the lines from fiction and truth
I drowned out the part telling me to leave
I still want your love even with your deceit
Cause love without you is love I can't see
If we ended now what would that achieve?

If I can't see you
Or feel your warm breath on my neck
I'd still dream you
But what are dreams if I can't feel you?
Don't leave me behind
Please...

I can't feel you with me and I'm scared
I wish that you would've just stayed here

TRACK 7

Title: Fucked Up
Label: Safe Haven Records
Genre: Alternative Pop, Pop
Length: 3:45
Writer(s): Alec Cole
Producer(s): Alec Cole, Brandon Grey

"Fucked Up" is the seventh track off of 17 year old American singer/songwriter/producer Alec Cole's debut album "INTO..." and was also the lead single chosen for the album the track was written by Alec Cole and produced by the team of Cole and Grey once again the track continues on from "You" however rather than being showing how he is hurt in this song Alec let's out his frustrations with the person being angry that they're able to move on from the relationship so fast

"Fucked Up" starts up our journey into the storm this one will probably be a more familiar one as it's the lead single from the album and with good reason despite the lyrics not being "radio friendly" Alec and Brandon manage to bring a darker and slightly emotional sound to this track with the production Alec also manages to give an equally dark yet emotional vocal delivery also sounding angry in certain parts his vocal delivery makes it clear that this is yet another personal song to him the lyrics are also done nicely though some parts may seem slightly repetitive however it's not too much to make the song bad and even so the production of the track would probably save it if it did




Feel confused
In a daze
With this sudden change
watched it shine
Watched it fade
Watched it be replaced
Half my whole
It has died
All in the great fall
I'm okay
I insist
But I'm not at all

And this change of hue
And change of you
Isn't okay
I've held it in too long
Pictures of you
Framed in my brain
And these quiet nights
Are not alright
The silence stings
And everything came crashing down
I've just gotta say

It's fucked up what you do
It's fucked up
It's fucked up how you're so cool
It's fucked up oh
It's fucked up what you do
It's fucked up
It's fucked up how you're so cool
It's fucked up oh


All this time
I have tried
To move on from this
But round and round
I'm stuck in
A carousel with
The little things
We both said
And the things we'd do
I don't know what's up
But I'm stuck
Round and round I go

It's fucked up what you do
It's fucked up
It's fucked up how you're so cool
It's fucked up oh
It's fucked up what you do
It's fucked up
It's fucked up how you're so cool
It's fucked up oh


And this change of hue
And change of you
Isn't okay
I've held it in too long
Pictures of you
Framed in my brain
And these quiet nights
Are not alright
The silence stings
And everything came crashing down
I've just gotta say

It's fucked up what you do
It's fucked up how
It's fucked up how you're so cool
It's fucked up what
It's fucked up what you do
It's fucked up how
It's fucked up how you're so cool
It's fucked up what


It's fucked up what you do
It's fucked up
It's fucked up how you're so cool
It's fucked up oh
It's fucked up what you do
It's fucked up
It's fucked up how you're so cool
It's fucked up oh

Title: Fix Myself
Label: Safe Haven Records
Genre: Alternative Pop, indie-pop
Length: 3:53
Writer(s): Alec Cole, Edin "BANKS" Kastrati
Producer(s): Alec Cole, Edin "BANKS" Kastrati

Alec
Banks
Both


"Fix Myself" is the eight track off of 17 year old American singer/songwriter/producer Alec Cole's debut album "INTO..." the song features up-and-coming singer/songwriter/producer BANKS and was co-written and co-produced by him along with Alec the song speaks about trying to move on from the relationship however it also shows the side that still wants to stay in love Alec portrays the side that wants to move on while BANKS portrays the side that can't seem to do so

"Fix Myself" continues our journey through the storm as it brings the section and album (standard edition) close to an end Alec and Brandon bring us another emotional track that you're bound to relate to with smooth production from the boys and lyrics that'll probably hit close to home if you've ever tried to move on from a bad breakup along with a great vocal delivery from both boys whose voices seem to go together rather well despite being pretty different from one another it's the chemistry that the two have in the song that not enough collaborations bring to the table that really makes the song along with the interesting instrumental breaks though the lyrics are relatable there are a few iffy moments however despite those moments I do believe this song has all the makings for another successful single




Heart is cold but it's fitting
I was caught in your rain
May have almost lost me breath
May have almost felt regret
Infected in the beginning
Lost myself in our sinning
Had my heart beating slow
I could feel you in my bones still
In my bones still yeah


Was caught up in the beauty of the storm
The way that you formed
Intoxicated by you hips
Overdosed on your lips
But no more for me I
I'll fix myself up


Instrumental

My mind was absent
So my heart done the thinking
It drowned in your love
But it's time that I swim
And I'm ready for the shaking
That comes without your addiction
I can calm myself down
I'll make my bluff real now


My eyes are adjusting
I can clearly see you
I was blinded by your light
But now I see the truth

I let you in my bloodstream
But what's past stays in the past
Far past you
Now I choose
To fix myself up


Instrumental

What they all say is wrong, feels right
What has darkened my heart, gives light
When I try to forget it all, I recall
What I try to surrender, I fight
We can never change what was
And I can't wait forever, but only because,
All time will expire, it's a promise, a liar,
Though I wish that my love wouldn't last, It does.


All that was fantasy, felt real.
And if all that is hurting could yet heal.
If there's just empty space, that I can try and replace,
Why does my heart belong to you still?


Was caught up in the beauty of the storm
The way that you formed
Intoxicated by you hips
Overdosed on your lips
But no more for me
I'll fix, I'll fix myself up

Genre: Alternative Pop, Pop
Lenght: 4:37
Writer(s): Alec Cole
Producer(s): Alec Cole

"Too Cool To Care" is the ninth and final track off of 17 year old American singer/songwriter/producer Alec Cole's debut album "INTO..." and is also the final track from "INTO: The Storm" and it was written and produced by Cole the song speaks about finally moving on and letting go and not caring about the relationship you had anymore even being "too cool to care"

And finally ending our journey into the storm and the album if you bought the standard edition (fake fan) is Alec's most recent single "Too Cool To Care" Alec brings us equally cool production and a great vocal delivery sounding rather nonchalant which is what the song sounds as he sings about how he doesn't care his vocals match the attitude the lyrics are also nice they aren't amazing however Alec definitely did do a pretty good job here all around the song is decent however you'd expect just a bit more for a song to close out an album




Keep your flowers cause I'm not dead
Cause in the end it wasn't the end
I always thought I'd be less without you
Be less without us
But I can feel all the oxygen
No more you I'm breathing again
I found a peace over here with me
With me

I think I'm safe
I picked up the pieces my heart is like rocks
I'm done following and trailing along
You use to be so sure what happened doll?
You thought you fucked me up good but I don't think you could

I waited back there for you but now I'm over here
Don't tell me you love me cause now I'm fully aware
I don't want to kiss you cause your lips were against his
Don't tell me you miss me cause I'm way too cool to care


Tried to keep us persistent
But I guess that wasn't your plan
It's all good cause I'm breathing
Breathing better
And even if you came back I'd still resist
Cause I've grown tired of your bitter kiss
I found peace in the silence
And found myself in your absence

I think I'm safe
I picked up the pieces my heart is like rocks
I'm done following and trailing along
You use to be so sure what happened doll?
You thought you fucked me up good but I don't think you could

I waited back there for you but now I'm over here
Don't tell me you love me cause now I'm fully aware
I don't want to kiss you cause your lips were against his
Don't tell me you miss me cause I'm way too cool to care


Feeling like I'm living
Under my own laws
On solid ground I'm breathing
No more drowning no more fire or storms

I waited back there for you but now I'm over here
Don't tell me you love me cause now I'm fully aware
I don't want to kiss you cause your lips were against his
Don't tell me you miss me cause I'm way too cool to care

Label: Safe Haven Records
Genre: Alternative pop, pop
Lenght: 3:44
Writer(s): Alec Cole, Brandon Grey
Producer(s): Alec Cole, Brandon Grey

"Lion" is the 10th track off of 17 year old American singer/songwriter/producer Alec Cole's debut album "INTO..." however it is a bonus track and exclusive to the deluxe edition of the album the song was written by Alec Cole and Brandon Grey and was produced by the two as well the song is about the moment of betrayal and how it feels to find out about your partner betraying you the track was originally meant to be placed on the main album on the "INTO: The Wild" section however the lyrics and production were too different to make an appearance on that section




Fallen to my knees
Then tackled to the ground, and I know
This was it all along
But it's too late now
And ohh, and now

Now here comes the lion
Here comes the lion
You'll eat me alive
You're sickening smile
Will be the last to grace my eyes
Oooh you talked, so good to me

I walked around blind
So it's my fault
May have been foolish
May have been foolish
I was the prey
That you were hunting
I wish that I knew then
I wish that I knew then
Back then


Hear your growl again
Sending shivers down my spine
I can't take another hit
I just wish that I would've know back then
And ohh, and now

Now here comes the lion
Here comes the lion
You'll eat me alive
You're sickening smile
Will be the last to grace my eyes
Oooh you talked, so good to me

I walked around blind
So it's my fault
May have been foolish
May have been foolish
I was the prey
That you were hunting
I wish that I knew then
I wish that I knew then
But would I run? Even if I'd have known
If I'd have known
But would I run? Even if I'd have known
If I'd have known

I walked around blind
So it's my fault
May have been foolish
May have been foolish
I was the prey
That you were hunting
I wish that I knew then
I wish that I knew then

I walked around blind
So it's my fault
May have been foolish
May have been foolish

Title: Love to Hate
Label: Safe Haven Records
Genre: Alternative pop, pop
Lenght: 3:57
Writer(s): Alec Cole,
Producer(s): Alec Cole, Brandon Grey

"Love to Hate" is the 11th track off of 17 year old American singer/songwriter/producer Alec Cole's debut album "INTO..." however it is a bonus track and exclusive to the deluxe edition of the album the song was written by Alec Cole and produced by Cole and Brandon Grey the song was one of the very first written before the main theme of the album was figured out and the song is meant to be from Alec's parents point of view he sings about how they hate each other yet still stay with each other despite how toxic their relationship is the song was not meant to be included on any of the sections on the album




Can't see things from my point of view
Won't bite my tongue but neither will you
We both built it up all so tall
Just for the fun of the fall
You're insane but I am too

Cause with you my minds not at ease
All we've got is animosity
Our skyscrapers are tumbling
But I think this is how it ought to be

We're trapped in a state of decay
But it's all we know our only way
This is our agreement
We hate to love and love to hate
You sneer at everything I say
But when you speak I do the same
This is our agreement
We hate to love and love to hate


On eggshells but still we run
On thin ice but we jump
Our words of love are violence
Together we're both restless
Is it right to feel wrong?

We speak our minds until they're empty
We both love this atrocity
This is how it's supposed to be
Scream at me until you can't speak

We're trapped in a state of decay
But it's all we know our only way
This is our agreement
We hate to love and love to hate
You sneer at everything I say
But when you speak I do the same
This is our agreement
We hate to love and love to hate


Can't swallow our pride
Or we'll choke and die
"Hate you"
"Replace you"
"Erase you"
Are some of the lines
So use to living in hell that we won't move out now

We're trapped in a state of decay
But it's all we know our only way
This is our agreement
We hate to love and love to hate
You sneer at everything I say
But when you speak I do the same
This is our agreement
We hate to love and love to hate


Can't swallow our pride
We hate to love and love to hate
Or we'll choke and die
We hate to love and love to hate
Can't swallow our pride
We hate to love and love to hate
Or we'll choke and die
We hate to love and love to hate

Demons running wild
In somber scenes
So let the flames burn higher
Lighten up the dark that surrounds me
Judge my soul tonight
Show me what to be
I'll listen close
What do you desire?
Let them take over
Posses me
I won't fight

*Instrumental*

You can be the pen I'll be the ink
Show me what you want
Take my soul and heart
Put me to sleep
I'll be the puppet you want
Teach me how to talk
And breathe through me
I can be reformed
Let them take over
Posses me
I won't fight

I, can give my mind my heart what do you want?
I, will do what it takes to be enough

Demons running wild
Demons running wild
D-demons running wild posses me
Keep on running wild
Posses me
Keep on running wild
Posses me
Keep on running wild
Posses me

Demons running wild
In somber scenes
So let the flames burn higher
Lighten up the dark that surrounds me
Judge my soul tonight
Show me what to be
I'll listen close
What do you desire?
Let them take over
Posses me
I won't fight

OOC: Such a shame, I think this album fell under the radar but definitely deserves more attention. John, I believe this is your best album lyrically and in terms of style and flow! I can tell that you carefully planned out what was going where and how that would transition with each of the sections of the album and it's come across as unique, neat and quite frankly...brilliant :P I love the growth that Alec has shown over this year and people didn't see him coming. He delivered a very strong album that I fear might go underrated cause people don't pay much attention sometimes but I'm sure people can see the effort. Excellent work and I can't wait to see what Alec does next year!

OOC: Wow thank you so much that actually really means a lot to me I really did want to test myself a bit more lyrically tbh when I first started writing this album I was writing my own lyrics but then I decided instead of wasting this sudden spark of inspiration on myself why not waste it on one of my TRSG characters :P so I ended up just coming back and writing up lyrics tbh Troye Sivan actually inspired all of this the sound change and eveything and I know it's probably very obvious but yeah I heard his lyrics and amazing production and decided to try to write a bit better and I'm glad you think that I did lol and yeah maybe it will go a bit under the radar but still I did have a lot of fun writing this up and making the little artwork things for each song this album was actually a lot funner to do than most of my other ones so really it's whatever lol thank you for checking it out and I'm really glad you liked it :)

Chaelin: Why I got you on my mind? Oh yeah, it's because this album has legit been on repeat all day long. I love every track and people need to bow to you prince of Alternative pop, because that's what you are. I already bought tickets for one of your American shows, I can't wait to experience every synth vibrating through my body. Keep on doing what you're doing because I'm going to keep on buying, it can be you saying the ABC's over a cheap synth with cheesy drums and I would still buy it.

Alec: Wow thank you Chaelin it's incredible to hear that someone listened to my album for a whole day haha and wow thanks for that title but I think it's saying a bit much there are plenty of incredible guys in the genre at the moment thank you though it means a lot and I can't wait to see you there hopefully you'll enjoy the show and I'll keep that idea stored away for the next time I hit writers block lol thanks again :)
