TIDES & NAMES

Lyrics

Verse 1 — soft airy vocal, intimate tone, warm analog texture

Through the shrouded mist she roams,

A whisper lost in time unknown.

Fingers trace the echoes past,

Ghosts of love she once held fast.

Pre-Chorus — build tension, dreamy tone, gentle pulse

She hears a voice, a distant call,

A laughter faint behind the wall.

But every step dissolves the path,

A prisoner of the world’s collapse.

Chorus — bright soaring emotional, shimmer pads, wide space

I knew you in a corner of nowhere, I called your name and found the tide.

I called your name and found the tide.

I knew you in a corner of nowhere, I called your name and found the tide.

Found the tide, found the tide.

Verse 2 — reflective intimate, soft vibrato, warm acoustic texture

You lived in a street I never walked,

A light I felt but never touched.

Maps gave up before your address,

I kept a room for you in dust.

Pre-Chorus — build tension, airy lift, gentle rising tone

Somewhere small the world forgot,

A letter burned without a post.

Chorus — bright soaring emotional, shimmer pads, wide space

I knew you in a corner of nowhere, I called your name and found the tide.

I traced your face in midnight glass, the ocean answered back in time.

I called your name and found the tide.

Bridge — dreamy whispered airy drones, glitched undertones

Did we ever meet in rooms the sky forgot,

Were we lovers in some other quiet plot,

One name, two seas.

Chorus / Outro — soaring layered vocals, deep emotional bloom

I knew you in a corner of nowhere, I called your name and found the tide.

I held your sound like winter wind, it taught my chest to hold the night.

Found the tide, found the tide, found the tide.
