Shadows

Passive words cut deep but they don’t shoutThey whisper in a room where no one doubtsInvisible daggersThey glide and fallSlicing through the silenceSlicing through us all Oh the shadows speak when the lights go dimInvisible projections crawl from withinPluralized but...

  “We clone our fears
  Copy-paste the pain
  Pouring out the doubts like drops of rain
  Lessened by the scars we quietly bear
  Weakened by the reasoning we wouldn’t dare”
  
  Powerfully penned, Drieks. Excellent lyrics my friend, that verse I quoted, is so raw and authentic. Amazing arrangement that enhances these amazing words. I’m a fan. Appreciate you.

  The lyrics and voice breathe in that space between hope and desolation, where very few are self-aware enough to tread. A glittered gift you possess. May I ask of your music influences? Without music the world dies.

    Thank you Ghosteen! I couldn’t agree more! Music is a necessity.
    We need water, food, oxygen, love and music!
    My music influences are very broad. For this particulair piece i’d say Sia was the main influence.
    In general, my influences come from pop, hip-hop, dance, rock, EDM and propably some more i can’t think of right now haha.

      Listen to some Nick Cave, Mazzy Star and the Cocteau Twins. If you can replicate the latter’s incomprehensible & ethereal voice & lyrics, I shall make a donation to an animal and children’s charity. Keep on keeping on. “Life imitates art far more than art imitates life.” As some bloke called Wilde once scribbled. Respect – not in the way uttered by a gangsta’ rapper. Not my thang. But genuine, UK respect.

  This song hits me differently when I feel so tired and head is pounding from the beginnings of a migraine. Its like I can feel
  this line “Oh the shadows speak when the lights go dim, Invisible projections crawl from within”
  This is a great write

    Very relatable unfortunately. Migraines can take control over so many things all at once.
    Thank you for your kind words Fia. 🙏🏻
