Checking In (Acoustic Version) | Snowblind
A fully acoustic pop punk song: crisp, high range clean vocals lead over acoustic guitar lines with an emotional edge. Catchy hooks are accented by fingerpicked guitar runs. Acoustic bass guitar adds bottom to the rhythm. A cajon supplies punchy, organic rhythm, while subtle orchestral and piano layers swell in the background, amplifying the somber, very slow-paced mood. It avoids fast paced, upbeat sections.

Lyrics
Checking in again, my old friend
It's been a long road without you, that's true
But your spirit is ever-present
Your aura of effervescence
Ten years and we're still kicking
And the clock just won't stop ticking
The hours keep passing us by
Leaving only the question why?
It hurts to find what's behind your eyes
Is another black hole sunrise
Light up another funeral pyre
Memories of your face project through the fire
The light could've broken through, found you
If we only knew
🎵
You were a light in the endless black
It's no wonder we keep looking back
On the times, on the days
When we still saw the smile on your face
Gone are those days, it's such a disgrace
Life should give more than it takes
"Just another victim, another statistic"
They don't know the half of it
We only hope you've finally found your place
It hurts to find what's behind your eyes
Is another black hole sunrise
Light up another funeral pyre
Memories of your face project through the fire
The light could've broken through, found you
If we only knew
🎵
If we only knew
🎵
If you could see what's left of me
What would you think? What would you think?
If you had another chance to live
What would you choose? What would you choose?
We just wished you could have seen
You had so much to lose
It hurts to find what's behind your eyes
Is another black hole sunrise
Light up another funeral pyre
Memories of your face project through the fire
The light could've broken through, found you
If we only knew
If we only knew
🎵
Was this the only option to choose?
You had so much to lose
If you only knew.
