THE SHADOW YOU LEFT BEHIND

[0:00 - 0:35] [Intro] (Reverb-drenched clean electric guitar picking slow, desolate minor notes) (A low, weeping classical cello enters with a dragging, mournful tone) (Distant cymbal swells and slow, heavy drum kick) [0:35 - 1:20] [Verse 1] (Voix chuchotée, tremblante, brisée par les larmes) Your coffee cup is sitting on the counter where you stood I try to move away, but I am frozen like the wood The hallway keeps your footprints, the air still holds your name I am living with a memory that sets my head inflamed You’re gone into the ether, but you never really left Leaving me a hollow husk, crippled by the theft [1:20 - 1:50] [Pre-Chorus] (La voix se tend de douleur, le violoncelle monte en puissance) Every shadow in the corner takes the shape of your face... I am trapped inside the ruins of a haunted, empty place... There is no escape from your lingering embrace... [1:50 - 2:40] [Chorus] (Explosion brutale - Mur de guitares distordues, voix hurlée avec une souffrance absolue) I am drowning in the shadow that you left behind! A permanent affliction choking up my fucking mind! You took away the sunlight, you left me with the cold! Now I’m rotting in a story that will never be retold! (Voice cracks violently on the final word, raspy gasp) [2:40 - 3:20] [Verse 2] (Retour aux guitares claires avec réverbération glaciale, voix au bord de l'asphyxie) I talk to empty corners like a madman in a cell Hoping for an echo from the bottom of this well The silence answers back with an unbearable weight Punishing my body with an inescapable fate I don't want your forgiveness, I just want to feel numb Waiting for the final end that never seems to come [3:20 - 4:10] [Chorus] (Explosion maximale - Chant totalement déchiré, distorsion écrasante) I am drowning in the shadow that you left behind! A permanent affliction choking up my fucking mind! You took away the sunlight, you left me with the cold! Now I’m rotting in a story that will never be retold! [4:10 - 4:50] [Bridge] (Tempo très ralenti, pesanteur extrême, voix agonisante) Haunted... Bleeding out alone... Carved into the plaster... Chiseled in the stone... [4:50 - 5:30] [Outro] (La distorsion s'effondre, le violoncelle pleure seul avec la guitare claire) (Voice cracked, exhausted whisper) Just a shadow... Nothing left behind... Losing my mind... (Cello note slowly dies down into absolute cold silence) (Absolute silence) [End]
