[Intro – ruhiger Hall, leichte Streicher, ganz leise Klavierakkorde]
I used to think the world forgot about me.
Like I was drifting somewhere between the person I was
and the one I tried so hard to become.
But memories…
they don’t drown easily.
They float.
They cling.
They whisper.
And sometimes…
they rise with the tide.
---
[Verse 1 – Clean Vocals
I feel the water at my knees,
It carries ghosts back to me.
The ones I buried with my doubt,
The ones I never spoke about.
The night remembers every lie,
It holds the truth I try to hide.
And in the mirror’s broken glow,
I see the parts I never show.
---
[Pre-Chorus – clean vocals]
I’m not the person I used to be,
I’m just the voice inside of me…
---
[Chorus – episch, groß, Gitarren + Drums + Streicher]
Pull me out — before I break again!
I’m sinking deep beneath my skin!
These voices rise like tides of blood,
I hear my past inside the flood!
If I’m reborn in waves tonight —
Then let me drown to feel alive!
---
[Verse 2 – Screams + tiefere Gitarren, härterer Puls]
The weight is crushing down my bones,
A war I fight when I’m alone.
My fears return in violent waves,
A requiem for better days.
I try to stand but lose the ground,
My memories drag me back down.
The flood is cold — it pulls me slow,
But I won’t die in undertow.
---
[Pre-Chorus – clean vocals + düstere Streicher]
I’m not afraid of what I’ve been…
I’m just afraid I’ll break again.
---
[Chorus – härter, größer, voller]
Pull me out — before I break again!
I’m sinking deep beneath my skin!
These voices rise like tides of blood,
I hear my past inside the flood!
If I’m reborn in waves tonight —
Then let me drown to feel alive!
---
[Solo – episch, melodisch, wie ein Hilfeschrei, beginnt sanft über Streichern, steigert sich in weite Bendings, wechselt in schnelle Läufe, endet in einem einzigen hohen Ton, der in Reverb verschwimmt]
---
[Bridge – ruhige Clean Vocals + Hall + Piano]
(sanft)
I let the water take control…
To wash the shadows from my soul.
And though the darkness pulls me in —
I rise again, reborn within.
---
[Breakdown – heavy, langsam, emotional]
(screamed)
THE WATER KNOWS —
THE TRUTH I FEAR!
THE FLOOD REMEMBERS —
WHY I’M HERE!
Let the current break my chains!
Let the tide erase the pain!
---
[Final Chorus – cinematic, voller Chor, alle Instrumente]
Pull me out — before I break again!
I’m sinking deep beneath my skin!
These voices rise like tides of blood,
I hear my past inside the flood!
If I’m reborn in waves tonight —
Then let me drown to feel alive!
---
[Outro – nur Klavier + Regen + leises Atmen]
(geflüstert)
I found myself…
somewhere between the waves.
