A Gamer’s Retreat

Описание: A Gamer’s Retreat is a song about using games as a place to breathe when the real world feels too loud.

It’s not about escaping life — it’s about finding somewhere safe enough to gather yourself so you can go back to it.

For a lot of us, that glow of a screen, a headset, and a few familiar voices can feel like a small shelter.
A place where fear quiets down and you remember how to try again.

This song is for anyone who’s ever found comfort in a virtual world when the real one felt impossible.

– Paul

Lyrics:

[Intro]
“Where do you go when the world gets too real?”

[Verse 1]
The outside air feels heavy, like a screen about to freeze
So I pull on the headset, let myself breathe
My heart’s a broken texture, my thoughts loading slow
But here I’ve got a quest log and somewhere to go
The anxiety’s a boss fight with no save in sight
But in here I can fail and still be alright

[Chorus]
So let the pixels hold me for a little while
In a glowing, borrowed, digital mile
With friends who know my username, not my shaking hands
We fight our small dark fears in these other lands
It’s not running away, it’s finding some light
In the soft blue glow of a borrowed night

[Verse 2]
Voices through the speakers from places I’ll never see
They don’t know my history, but they know how I play me
We joke on the headset, we lose and we win
And for a few small hours, the sadness thins
The real world’s loud with its sharp-edged demands
But in this coded place, I still make a stand

[Chorus]
So let the pixels hold me for a little while
In a glowing, borrowed, digital mile
With friends who know my username, not my shaking hands
We fight our small dark fears in these other lands
It’s not running away, it’s finding some light
In the soft blue glow of a borrowed night

[Bridge]
Maybe it is escapism, maybe that’s true
But what do you do when your mind’s at war with you?
The maps we explore, the risks that we take
It’s not fake courage — it’s something I make
And when I log off and come back to myself
Some of that bravery stays on the shelf

[Outro]
So if you find me here when the real world dims
Don’t worry for me — I’m learning how to swim
In quiet alliances and quests I choose
Till I’m strong enough to face what I lose
For now I don’t quit
I don’t escape
I just press continue
And hold my place
