From The Shoreline

(( PRODUCTION: Filtered piano, reversed vocal textures, deep 808 glide, subtle hi-hat triplets, airy pad swells, distant thunder FX, reverb-heavy background vocals ))

⸻

INTRO — 2AM HEADLINES

(( TV static low ))

(( Distant news anchor muffled ))

(( Reversed piano swell ))

(( Subtle 808 heartbeat ))

Yeah…

I turned the volume down but I still see it

Maps on the screen with your side bleeding

They talking numbers like it’s statistics

I see your face in every image

(( Low 808 glide ))

They say “deployment” like it’s casual

Like love ain’t collateral

⸻

VERSE 1 — DRAKE-STYLE INTROSPECTION

(( Minimal drums ))

(( Deep 808 soft but present ))

I told you go chase what you believe in

But I ain’t know belief came with a season

You somewhere across that water freezing

And I’m here fighting thoughts I can’t reason

I try to stay inside my bubble

Phone on silent, avoid the trouble

But silence louder than the sirens

And every headline feel like violence

⸻

PRE-CHORUS — THE WEEKND ATMOSPHERE

(( Pads widen ))

(( Falsetto background harmonies ))

If the sky turns red where you are

Do you look at it and think of me?

If the ocean gets too dark

Do you whisper my name to the sea?

(( 808 cuts for a breath ))

⸻

CHORUS — HAUNTED BUT CATCHY

(( Full drums enter ))

(( 808 deep and gliding ))

(( Atmospheric synth lead ))

Please come back from the shoreline

Don’t let the tide take what’s mine

I’m watching storms through a screen

Praying it’s not what it seems

Please come back from the sea

Bring your heartbeat back to me

I’ll be right here where we began

Just come back if you can

(( Layered vocal chant: “come back… come back…” ))

⸻

VERSE 2 — TRAVIS SCOTT DREAM HAZE

(( Beat slightly more hypnotic ))

(( Ad-libs airy and distant ))

City lights but they don’t shine

When your shadow ain’t next to mine

They say be strong, I fake it fine

But my mind run laps in overtime

I scroll past clips I shouldn’t see

Convince myself you’ll be released

But every wave that hits the pier

Sound like a countdown in my ear

(( 808 rolls into quick triplet fill ))

⸻

BRIDGE — MENTAL SPIRAL

(( Beat drops out partially ))

(( Low distorted pad ))

I hear stories

I see flames

I hear “imminent”

Over your name

I try to stay in my little peace

But peace don’t stay when you’re overseas

(( Whispered background: “don’t let him go…” ))

⸻

FINAL CHORUS — BIGGER, EMOTIONAL

(( Drums heavier ))

(( 808 deeper ))

(( Choir-style layered falsetto ))

Please come back from the shoreline

Before the world crosses that line

Before the sirens fill the sky

Before I have to say goodbye

Please come back from the sea

Don’t let fear swallow me

I don’t need medals, I don’t need fame

I just need you safe again

⸻

OUTRO — EMPTY ROOM

(( Beat fades ))

(( Piano returns ))

(( TV static faint again ))

Soft:

I keep the window cracked at night…

Like somehow you could hear me…

(( Long reverb tail ))

From the sea…

Come back to me.
