Lyrics
Intro: A repeating, arpeggiated piano motif that sounds like crashing waves. A deep, swelling bass and a steady, powerful drum beat join in.
Verse 1: Male Vocal, with a sense of resignation
The sun goes down on the concrete pier
And still the past remains so near
A million thoughts, a restless sea
The memories that live in me
Pre-Chorus: Male Vocal, building with a feeling of being overwhelmed
I built a wall against the flow
A fragile fortress, built too slow
But every stone, it turns to sand
Carried away from my own hand
Chorus: Male Vocal, powerful, raw, and full of struggle
Oh, the relentless tide keeps on pushing in
Where does the future truly begin?
I'm caught between the deep blue and the sky
A single breath, a final cry
Verse 2: Male Vocal, quieter, with a sense of defiance
I stand my ground, though it begins to shake
For every step, for goodness' sake
This isn't a fight I can give up on
Even though the last hope is gone
Pre-Chorus: Male Vocal, intensifying with determination
I built a wall against the flow
A fragile fortress, built too slow
But every stone, it turns to sand
Carried away from my own hand
Chorus: Male Vocal, soaring, with added harmonies and full instrumentation
Oh, the relentless tide keeps on pushing in
Where does the future truly begin?
I'm caught between the deep blue and the sky
A single breath, a final cry
Bridge: Instrumental, a powerful, emotional guitar solo over a dramatic, surging orchestral arrangement, full of tension and release.
(Instrumental)
Outro: The music gradually slows, the wave-like piano motif becomes softer and softer, until only a final, single piano note remains.
