[Distorted synths intro]
[Verse 1]
Growing up in empty halls, where dreams rise and fall
A fleeting glimpse, a forgotten name in the world’s endless call
Time moves like a thunderstorm, winds of change so fast
Searching for the fragment of what I couldn't grasp
[Pre-Chorus]
Fading figures in the mist,
Caught between the then and now —
Holding onto fragments,
Wondering how…
Of all my regrets, when they ask, I say:
My biggest one… was letting you get away..!
[Chorus]
You were the one that slipped away when I was still learning to fly
A memory in my mind, but now I cry
The one that got away, while I was still growing inside
Lost across the tide, the reason I die….
[Verse 2]
Regretful words like a knife, cutting sharp and cold,
Moments I wish I could keep, the stories left untold.
In darkness I awaken, your face in the rain,
Memory fading each day, yet bound by the pain.
[Pre-Chorus]
Time’s relentless river flows,
Carrying what will never last.
Chasing all that’s lost,
Day after day it drifts so fast.
Am I so hopeless, still chained to the past?
Remembering the time… you got—AWAY!
[polyrhythmic djent drop]
[Chorus]
You were the one that slipped away when I was still learning to fly
A shadow in my mind, a silent cry
The one that got away, while I was still growing inside
Lost across the tide, the reason I cry
[Bridge]
[Screaming vocals]
Futility and hope collide, a paradox so raw
Finding strength in the scars, in the flaws I saw
Every lesson, every tear, forged my sense of being
Yet the love that fled still haunts, forever seeing
[Outro]
Now I stand on the edge of what was and might have been
Growing stronger from within, but still feeling the sting
You were the one that got away, when I was yet to understand
But I wake from my nightmare, a second chance
I see you beside me, a future that may
Now I won’t let you be, the one that got…away….
[Hopeful music interlude]
