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.
