The Kind Less – A Song About Standing Against Darkness

Click To Listen

The Kind Less is a song that explores the darker side of human nature—the cold-hearted, manipulative forces that prey on others’ fears and vulnerabilities. It’s a reflection of those who hide behind fake kindness, using charm as a weapon while sowing pain and division. But at its core, this song isn’t just about those who seek to destroy; it’s about standing up against that darkness and finding strength in the face of cruelty.

The opening lines, “In the shadows, they whisper lies, cold-hearted souls, with empty eyes,” set the tone of a world filled with deception, where the kind less thrive on strife and pain. These are the people who use smiles to twist the knife, feeding on fear and breaking hearts where hope once lived. But this song also reflects the resilience that exists in all of us—the determination not to let the kind less win.

The chorus delivers the emotional punch: “You're killing me with your kindness, cutting deep, no chance for peace, you're killing me when you're kind less, like a storm that never sleeps.” It highlights the damage done by false kindness and empty promises, drawing parallels to a relentless storm that won’t let up. It’s a feeling many of us have experienced—being hurt by those who pretend to care, but only bring destruction.

In the verses, I wanted to show the contrast between the masks the kind less wear and the truth that lies beneath. “They wear a mask, a sweet disguise, but behind the charm, there’s endless lies.” But the song isn’t about giving up; it’s about fighting back. The line, “But we won’t break, we’ll stand and fight, against the dark, we’ll bring the light,” is a rallying cry for those who refuse to be brought down by cruelty.

In the bridge, the song takes a turn toward hope: “In the ashes, we’ll find our way, a new dawn breaks, a brighter day.” Even in the face of destruction, there’s always a way forward. For every kind less soul, there’s a heart of gold, and that’s where the real power lies—in those who continue to show kindness, even when the world feels fractured.

The Kind Less is a song about resilience, about refusing to let the darkness consume us. It’s a reminder that, in the end, the kind less will fall, and those with true hearts will move on, stronger and more determined than ever.
