Description
There is a sense of endless water here - calm and disturbing at the same time. The words flow like soft waves, sometimes covering, sometimes releasing, leaving salt on the skin and traces that cannot be washed away. This is not a loud drama, but rather a quiet confession: drowning did not work out, but there was still no place to stand on the shore.
The music breathes freely, as if there are whole pauses for breath between the lines. It mixes attachment, weariness from struggle, and a stubborn desire to hold on to the moment. Each line is like circles on the water left behind by someone's movement: the further away, the stronger the pull to the depths.
There is no familiar ‘goodbye’ in this sound - rather a slow, calm ‘stay.’ It holds your hand even when you tell yourself to ‘let go,’ and there is a tenderness in this that is stronger than any words.
