(Low drone hum / filtered ocean waves / delayed piano notes echo softly)

I’ve been waiting in the abyss,

Where the echoes never miss,

Voices of the ones I’ve lost,

Drift through me like a ghost of frost.

Light flickers but fades away,

Still, I chase it every day,

Hoping that beyond the gray,

There’s something left that wants to stay.

(Soft kick starts building / stereo panning whispers)

Every tear becomes a prayer,

For the souls that can’t repair,

If you’re out there, can you see—

The little light that’s left in me?

(Deep sub bass drops / kick steady 4-on-the-floor / reverb-heavy plucks / vocal layering with harmonized echoes)

I’m waiting in the abyss (ahh~),

Searching for the light I miss,

Hoping everything comes right (comes right),

And everyone will be all right (tonight).

(Sidechain pad swells / vocal chop: “ohh-oooh” repeating softly in rhythm)

⸻

Dark water pulls at my feet,

But I keep my heart in beat,

Dreams dissolve into the tide,

Yet still, I stand and won’t hide.

The stars above are faint but near,

Reminding me what I hold dear,

Even in the endless night,

I’ll keep looking for that light.

(Remove kick / add modular synth arps + distant vocal humming)

Maybe the abyss is home,

Maybe here I’m not alone,

If I can shine in shadows deep,

Then maybe peace is mine to keep.

(Reverb expands / vocal whispers drift L→R panning)

(Kick returns / layered bassline / brighter synth lead)

I’m waiting in the abyss (ahh~),

Searching for the light I miss,

Hoping everything comes right (comes right),

And everyone will be all right (tonight).

(Arpeggiator synced to tempo / open hi-hats shimmer / analog synth lead improvisation)

(Wordless vocal runs “ooo–ahh–mmm” drenched in delay)

(Beat drops out / single sustained piano chord / tape hiss + gentle reverb tail)

(Final vocal whisper)

“I’ll keep waiting… till the light finds me.”
