Intro:
(Instruments create the sound of crashing waves with occasional thunder)

Verse 1:
Sails torn by tempest might
Life's vast ocean, endless night
Lighthouse gone, my glowing guide
Now dark, I'm cast aside

Musical Break:
(Orchestral interlude with acoustic guitar and haunting violin)

Verse 2:
Clinging to the driftwood tight
Swept by waves, no land in sight
Beacon's light a distant dream
Swallowed by this endless stream

Musical Break:
(Long instrumental with piano solo and crashing cymbals mimicking waves)

Verse 3:
Fingers slip, no lifeline near
Sinking slow, embrace the fear
Water's clutch, a final plea
Breath released, now part the sea

Outro:
(Instruments fade out to the sound of waves receding and the final echo of a dying heartbeat)

About "Lost at Sea"
  • Song Idea:

    Dark song with more musical breaks than stanzas. The singer describes his life as the ocean and compares his love to a lighthouse that has since gone out. The song begins with him on a ship lost in a storm without the light. The next verse describes him now clinging to driftwood and being swept away. The final verse describes him having nothing to cling to anymore and finally sinking, then drowning.
