With haunting melodies and introspective lyrics, this track resonates with those grappling with despair yet yearning for a way out.
Verse 1:
In the shadows deep and wide,
I’m sinking low, nowhere to hide.
Voices echo, cold and clear,
Whispers fill my soul with fear.
Chorus:
I’m crawling towards the light,
But it’s just out of sight.
The emptiness surrounds,
And it drags me to the ground.
Verse 2:
Pale reflections, eyes like glass,
The moment’s here, it’s come to pass.
Chasing phantoms, lost in dreams,
Silence takes me, or so it seems.
Chorus:
I’m crawling towards the light,
But it’s just out of sight.
The emptiness surrounds,
And it drags me to the ground.
Bridge:
I reach for hope, but it slips away,
With every breath, the shadows play.
A fleeting spark, just a tease,
Breaking down, I beg for peace.
Verse 3:
Can’t escape these chains I wear,
Fighting thoughts in thick despair.
Yet beyond this endless night,
There’s a glimpse, a spark of light.
Chorus:
I’m crawling towards the light,
But it’s just out of sight.
The emptiness surrounds,
And it drags me to the ground.
Outro:
But I won’t give in to the dark,
With every fiber, I’ll leave my mark.
One more breath, one more fight,
I’ll find my way back to the light.

It's about being stuck in a dark hole of depression and slowly realizing that you need to crawl out before you fall in forever. You can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but you just can't quite reach it. The emptiness is all-consuming and nothing seems to make the feeling break.
