"Drowning Shadows" is a haunting Gothic rock ballad that explores the depths of grief and loss. The song tells the story of a woman mourning the tragic loss of her girlfriend to suicide, specifically drowning. As she navigates her overwhelming sorrow, she begins to hallucinate her deceased lover, leading her into a psychotic break. With atmospheric shoegaze influences, the track combines heavy guitar riffs with ethereal vocals, encapsulating both the pain of heartbreak and the echoes of love that linger beyond the grave.
(Verse 1)
In the silence of the night,
Lost beneath the moonlight’s glow,
Whispers of your laughter fade,
Yet your shadow lingers slow.
(Chorus)
Drowning in the memories,
Every tear a silent plea.
Haunted by a love that’s gone,
In this darkened twilight sea.
(Verse 2)
Your silhouette appears,
In the corners of my mind.
Fingers brushing through the mist,
But you're nowhere to find.
(Chorus)
Drowning in the memories,
Every tear a silent plea.
Haunted by a love that’s gone,
In this darkened twilight sea.
(Bridge)
I see you in the rippling waves,
A siren song calling me to the deep.
Take me where the currents crash,
Where shadows sing and lost souls weep.
(Verse 3)
Fingertips entwined with ghosts,
As I spiral into despair.
Whispers turn to screams of joy,
But you’re a dream, forever rare.
(Chorus)
Drowning in the memories,
Every tear a silent plea.
Haunted by a love that’s gone,
In this darkened twilight sea.
(Outro)
With every breath, I drown again,
In the waters where you lay.
Come back to me from the depths,
In my heart, you’ll always stay.
(Silence fills the air)
A heart breaks in the lullaby,
As I drift in shadows, torn and frayed.
