Falling Into Grey

[Intro – soft Rhodes piano & rain samples]
The world slows down.
All the noise I used to chase
just fades.
It’s not peace, not yet —
just the sound of nothing
finally making sense.

[Verse 1 – low male vocal melody]
There’s color in the silence,
shades between black and white.
I thought life was fire or frozen,
but it lives somewhere in the light.
Every scar hums softly now,
a lullaby of what I’ve lost.
The hurt still hums beneath my skin,
but it’s quieter than the cost.

[Pre-Chorus – soft falsetto layer]
Maybe healing’s not gold,
maybe it’s grey.
Something dull,
but steady enough to stay.

[Chorus – gentle groove drops]
I’m falling into grey,
where the edges disappear.
No heaven, no hell,
just here.
Every breath a little truer,
every tear a little less.
I’m not fixed,
I’m just resting in the mess.

[Verse 2 – spoken poetry flow]
Used to chase meaning,
now I chase calm.
Used to beg for thunder,
now I praise the storm’s end.
I let the memories drift—
they don’t belong to me anymore.
They’re just ghosts learning
how to float.

[Bridge – wordless humming and bass solo]
(soft trumpet answers each phrase)

[Chorus – reprise with sax swell]
Falling into grey,
I fade and I bloom.
Not lost,
just making room.
If love was color,
I’ve seen them all go.
Now grey feels like home.

[Outro – ambient instrumental fade]
No fight, no fear,
just the hum of being here.

Male vocal, lo-fi soul jazz-hop fusion with piano and sax, slow beat, calm emotional and cinematic tone
