Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We walk along the water’s edge,
Your hand warm, my tether, my pledge.
The sun dips low, casting gold on stone,
In this dream, we’re finally alone.
The stream hums softly against the shore,
Each ripple echoes something more.
A distant warning, a whispered plea—
But I don’t listen, you’re here with me.
(Soft synth waves rise like a trickle of doubt.)
[Pre-Chorus]
But shadows flicker in the corners of my sight,
The ripples twist under the fading light.
I try to hold you closer, press you near,
As whispers grow louder in my ear.
[Chorus]
Ripples in the stream, breaking the glass,
Distorting the future, unraveling the past.
I don’t want to wake, not now, not yet,
Let me drown in this moment before I forget.
Your voice, your touch, keep me alive—
Ripples can break, but I’ll survive.
(INTSTRUMENTAL BREAK)
[Verse 2]
You lead me forward, but the path shifts,
Flowers bloom and fade like scattered gifts.
I see flashes of a life outside this dream—
Dark rooms, locked doors, and stifled screams.
You stop, turning toward me, eyes calm,
Your fingers trace my wrist like a healing balm.
But the stream hums louder, its voice a storm,
A reminder that peace is never the norm.
(Synth pads hum ominously beneath the melody.)
[Pre-Chorus]
I hold on tight as the wind begins to rise,
Trying to block out the warnings in the skies.
You whisper my name, and it feels so real,
But reality gnaws at the edges of what I feel.
[Chorus]
Ripples in the stream, breaking the glass,
Distorting the future, unraveling the past.
I don’t want to wake, not now, not yet,
Let me drown in this moment before I forget.
Your voice, your touch, keep me alive—
Ripples can break, but I’ll survive.
(INTSTRUMENTAL BREAK)
[Bridge]
The current pulls harder, the stream turns black,
I see flashes of chains pulling me back.
Your voice cuts through—steady, strong—
A lifeline, a song I’ve needed all along.
“Stay with me,” you whisper, “just for tonight.”
So, I hold you closer as I lose the fight.
[Final Chorus]
Ripples in the stream, breaking the glass,
Distorting the future, unraveling the past.
I don’t want to wake, not now, not yet,
Let me drown in this moment before I forget.
Your voice, your touch, keep me alive—
Ripples can break, but I’ll survive.
(INTSTRUMENTAL BREAK)
[Outro] (Soft guitar fades as ambient synth pads gently echo the stream’s hum.)
The water calms, the whispers fade,
But the ripples leave marks they once made.
I press my forehead against yours in the stream,
Holding on to the last of this fragile dream.
(INTSTRUMENTAL FADE OUT)
(INTSTRUMENTAL BREAK)
[Bridge]
The current pulls harder, the stream turns black,
I see flashes of chains pulling me back.
Your voice cuts through—steady, strong—
A lifeline, a song I’ve needed all along.
“Stay with me,” you whisper, “just for tonight.”
So, I hold you closer as I lose the fight.
[Final Chorus]
Ripples in the stream, breaking the glass,
Distorting the future, unraveling the past.
I don’t want to wake, not now, not yet,
Let me drown in this moment before I forget.
Your voice, your touch, keep me alive—
Ripples
Ripples can break, but I’ll survive.
