A heartfelt song that captures the experience of enduring a week-long power outage and the loneliness that follows. The haunting melody reflects the isolation one feels when cut off from the world, blending emotion and imagery for a poignant reflection on vulnerability and longing.
Verse 1:
The sun goes down but the lights won’t shine,
Sitting in the dark, I’m lost in time.
Clock keeps ticking, but it feels so slow,
In this silent house, it’s hard to let go.
Chorus:
Lonely without the lights, I’m trapped in my mind,
Whispers of the shadows, they’re all I can find.
A week of darkness, trapped and so frail,
Feeling like a ship, lost out at sea, setting sail.
Verse 2:
The fridge is empty, like the space in my heart,
Every tick of the clock feels like we’re worlds apart.
I reach for the phone, but it’s dead in my hand,
No one to talk to, not a soul to understand.
Chorus:
Lonely without the lights, I’m trapped in my mind,
Whispers of the shadows, they’re all I can find.
A week of darkness, trapped and so frail,
Feeling like a ship, lost out at sea, setting sail.
Bridge:
I light a candle, but it flickers and fades,
Thoughts in the quiet become a dangerous maze.
Where are all the voices, where’s that laughter gone?
In this empty room, I’m fighting to hold on.
Verse 3:
I count the stars, but they’re dim and shy,
A million stories hidden in the sky.
With every spark, I remember the day,
When the laughter filled this house—not just shadows that play.
Chorus:
Lonely without the lights, I’m trapped in my mind,
Whispers of the shadows, they’re all I can find.
A week of darkness, trapped and so frail,
Feeling like a ship, lost out at sea, setting sail.
Outro:
Now the power’s back, but the silence remains,
The echoes of loneliness still carve through my veins.
I’ll turn on the lights, let the world reappear,
But this week of darkness, will forever stay near.
