Velvet Vices - The Echo of The Lock

Описание: "The Echo of the Lock dives into the void left by a sudden departure. It’s about the coffee still cooling on the table, the words that got stuck in the throat, and the painful realization that the other person had already left long before crossing the threshold. A journey through the mourning of a love that has become a ghost."

Lyrics

The coffee’s still steaming, sitting on the wood
I’d take back the silence if I only could
I rehearsed every line just to make you stay
But you were already a thousand miles away
The "hello" I held became a stone in my chest
While you chose the exit and left all the rest.
[Verse 2]
I saw your reflection in the fog on the glass
A blur of a shadow, watching you pass
No "goodbye" was spoken, no bridge left to burn
Just the sound of the latch and the point of no return
Now the walls of this room are starting to scream
That you’re moving on while I’m stuck in the dream.
[Build-up]
(Drums kick in, driving rhythm)
(Guitars start to swell)
And the world outside just swept you away...
Leaving me with everything I didn't get to say!
[Chorus - Powerful & Melodic]
And the door slammed shut, taking the floor from my feet
Leaving nothing but silence and the sound of the street!
I watched your shadow fade out in the grey
While my whole world was crumbling and wasting away!
You walked out that door without looking behind
And the love that I have is the ghost you resigned!
The ghost you resigned...
[Verse 3]
Now I’m counting the footsteps of strangers outside
Waiting for fate to take me for a ride
But the keyhole is frozen, it’s cold to the touch
Like a heart that’s been broken from loving too much
Loving alone is like shouting at the sea
The waves never bring your voice back to me.
[Bridge]
(High-energy guitar solo, very emotional)
That door is a border I can't seem to cross
A mountain of wood built on nothing but loss!
[Final Chorus - Explosive]
And the door slammed shut, taking the floor from my feet
Leaving nothing but silence and the sound of the street!
I watched your shadow fade out in the grey
While my whole world was crumbling and wasting away!
You walked out that door without looking behind
And the love that I have is the ghost you resigned!
