Backwards Down the Path (featuring Velvet)

Last goodbye, fading in the rain, (soft rewind echo: rain in the fading) Footsteps echo of love’s refrain. Empty rooms and broken glass, (words retraced like shattered glass) Words unsaid that never passed. Cold goodbyes behind closed doors, (slight reversed vocal layering on “closed doors”) Silence screaming forevermore. We traced the steps before the fall, (slow rewind loops on “steps”) Unseen cracks behind it all. Backwards down the path we took, (reversed guitar plucks under vocals) Reading pages from the book. Where it ends is where we start, (repeated echo fading backwards) Unraveling a fragile heart. Laughter hides beneath the pain, (youthful chorus layered in reverse) Sunset shadows kiss the lane. Promises that couldn’t stay, (slow rewind on “couldn’t stay”) Fading fast like light’s decay. How did we get here from that first glance? (slight stutter effect on “first glance”) Fragile moments lost in chance. Every smile a faded clue, Tracing back to me and you. Backwards down the path we took, Reading pages from the book. Where it ends is where we start, Unraveling a fragile heart. Eyes met close, the world stood still, Start of all, the first thrill. (fading / reversed vocal echo trailing away)
