[Verse 1 – screams + melodic riff]
I’m standing on the rocks again,
Where the tide forgets my name.
Your memory hits like ocean waves,
But every crash gives way to shame.
The walls I built begin to crumble,
Stone and heart, they start to tumble.
Your voice dissolves in salted air,
I reach for you — but you’re not there.
---
[Pre-Chorus – female clean vocals, emotional but tense]
The sea keeps taking pieces of you…
and I can’t stop what time will do.
---
[Chorus – heavy, melodic, emotional cleans + screams]
You’re a silhouette in the mist,
A fading echo I can’t fix.
I wait for bottles in the tide,
A sign you made it out alive.
But waves erase what once was true —
And soon… I won’t remember you.
---
[Verse 2 – harsher screams, tighter drums]
The storm repeats its bitter hymn,
It tears the edges of your skin.
Your face, once carved into my mind,
Is washed away with passing time.
The salt corrodes the love we had,
It breaks the good, exposes bad.
I shout your name into the foam,
But all I hear… is me alone.
---
[Pre-Chorus – clean vocals, rising tension]
The ocean teaches what I missed —
Some things are meant to not exist.
---
[Chorus – full power, layered vocals]
You’re a silhouette in the mist,
A fading echo I can’t fix.
I wait for bottles in the tide,
A sign you made it out alive.
But waves erase what once was true —
And soon… I won’t remember you.

[Solo – emotional + chaotic mix, Start melodisch, melancholisch, wie ein kalter Wind, Dann schneller, verzweifelter, wie brechende Wellen, Endet in einem hohen Schrei-Note, die in Reverb ertrinkt]
---
[Breakdown – slow, crushing, deeply emotional]
(scream)
THE SEA DEVOURS —
WHAT I CAN’T LET GO!
Memory bleeds —
like undertow!
Your ghost recedes into the deep,
A secret that the tides will keep!
---
[Final Chorus – clean + scream duet, massive & tragic]
You’re a silhouette in the mist,
A final shadow I can’t kiss.
No message drifting back to shore,
No proof you breathe, no “us” anymore.
The waves will finish what time withdrew —
And I’ll forget I ever loved you.
---
[Outro line – whispered over fading guitars]
(whisper)
The sea remembers…
so I don’t have to.
