Ceyeo is a Chicago-based artist whose first album, ‘Machine Learning,’ released in 2022, has over 2.5 million streams in over 100 countries.
Inspired by the artists, protest songs and poetry of the 60’s and 70’s, as well as music from all time periods and genres, Ceyeo combines EDM, rock, conscious hip-hop and R&B to create intricate music with an accessible alt feel that subverts typical rock and pop conventions.
Broken
I took a walk in the city
I wore a pair of gold sunglasses
and gazed at the silver moon
I watched the world as it left me
via train and underground
back to a place I don’t belong
Night arrived with a vengeance
it took whatever it wanted
it took a piece of me
Wolf packs formed and circled
anything off the beaten trail
starved and Winter’s coming soon
In every journey
passengers change
and waves that carried now may crash
everything is connected
everything carries weight
the future never speaks
it meets us in dreams
the past talks
but softly
I saw a cloud shaped like a black heart
it stared me in the eye
having known me for so long
I read My Treasure, and Invictus
flowery, smart and unrealistic, for me
but it’s good that they exist
Like a voiceless little bird
alone without knowing
moving forward without a care
Decisions made provide cover
it’s a warm nest of fate
it makes us stronger than we know
In every journey
passengers change
and waves that carried now may crash
everything is connected
everything carries weight
but there are times you can’t follow
other places you must go
we are all connected
but you can do more elsewhere
the future never speaks
it meets us in dreams
the past talks
but softly
