A haunting and ethereal exploration of grief, 'Drowning Echoes' encapsulates the heart-wrenching aftermath of losing a loved one to suicide. This gothic rock alternative shoegaze track delves into the depths of despair as the narrator hallucinates the presence of her deceased girlfriend, spiraling into a poignant psychotic break that blurs the lines between memory and reality.
(Verse 1)
In the moonlight's silence, I call your name,
Your echo lingers, a dampened flame.
Whispers of water drown my cries,
Beneath the surface, our love lies.
(Chorus)
Drowning in shadows, lost in the tide,
Haunting reflections, I cannot hide.
You were the ocean, I was the shore,
Now I’m adrift, forevermore.
(Verse 2)
Delirious visions, your hands in the deep,
Glimmers of laughter that I cannot keep.
Fingertips brushing, they're slipping away,
A ghost in the water, where you used to sway.
(Chorus)
Drowning in shadows, lost in the tide,
Haunting reflections, I cannot hide.
You were the ocean, I was the shore,
Now I’m adrift, forevermore.
(Bridge)
Your voice in the currents, a siren's call,
The weight of your absence, it drags me down, down.
In the depths I wander, searching for light,
But all I find is the blackness of night.
(Verse 3)
I reach for the memory, pull it so close,
A fragile connection, a bittersweet ghost.
Hallucinations dance, a sickly delight,
You’re fading like whispers, out of my sight.
(Chorus)
Drowning in shadows, lost in the tide,
Haunting reflections, I cannot hide.
You were the ocean, I was the shore,
Now I’m adrift, forevermore.
(Outro)
In the still of the night, I listen for you,
A heartbeat in darkness, a dream running through.
Your spirit surrounds me, but feels so far,
Drowning echoes of love, my everlasting scar.
