Passenger Side is an original song by SVÎNT CERØ that explores the feeling of being trapped in a stagnant depression. With a chill, lo-fi vibe, the track paints a vivid picture of watching life unfold from the passenger seat while grappling with the urge to take control. The song juxtaposes singable, melodic choruses with poetic rap verses, creating a compelling and introspective narrative.
Chorus:
The world moves, in slow a motion blur
While I watch life, from the darker light
Moments they pass, like shadows on the glass
And I'm sitting by, on the passenger side
Verse 1:
Staring at the road where dreams go to die slow
Trapped in this seat with my fate overthrown
Life’s a bitter pill that never swallowed me whole
Chasing after shadows in a story untold
Watching the streetlights flicker, they echo my mood
In a car full of silence, I'm lost in the brood
Thoughts drift like smoke from a cigarette's end
Drowning in memories that I can't comprehend
Friends passing by in their cars, lives full of motion
While I remain anchored, caught up in this ocean
The radio plays a song, but I can't feel the beat
'Cause my heart's drowning softly in this empty concrete
Chorus:
The world moves, in slow a motion blur
While I watch life, from the darker light
Moments they pass, like shadows on the glass
And I'm sitting by, on the passenger side
Verse 2:
Ticking clocks and whispers in the back of my mind
I’m second-guessing choices, leave the past behind
Outside, lives are lived, vivid colors collide
But I’m here in the quiet, just wishing to drive
Fingers trace the window, imprint on my skin
Wondering what it’s like, to truly begin
To wrestle with my spirit, to break through these chains
But this weight is heavy, it carries me with pain
Mirrors reflect a face, I barely recognize
Caught in this limbo, where my spirit lies
But I dream of the day when I’ll summon the fight
And take back the wheel, step into the light
Chorus:
The world moves, in slow a motion blur
While I watch life, from the darker light
Moments they pass, like shadows on the glass
And I'm sitting by, on the passenger side

The song is called Passenger Side. It's an original song I created and it's about being stuck in a stagnant depression, watching the world go by while I watch from the passenger seat, instead of taking the wheel and driving myself. I have a poetic vision for it, with the chorus being a little more singy, while the verses are more of a rap. It's a very chill, almost lo-fi kind of vibe. The bpm is 100, the chorus is 16 bars, and the Verse is 24 bars.
Here's some ideas I have so far:
