[Title: Standing in Memory] [mood: somber, lonely, searching] [atmosphere: dreaming in reverse, blurred reality, raining, soaked asphalt] [tonal center is nebula blue clouded with gun metal grey] [vocal delivery: unique, fragile, vinyl fx, sweetness masking psychological horror with reverse backing trails] [backing vocals: inhuman, abyssal, stretched, swaying] [intro - building, massive resonance] oh—æ̃h—ah... oh—wæ̃ æ̃h...oh—æ̃h... oh—æ̃h—ah oh... [verse 1 - the world cries for the woman, lightning and thunder split reality] The sky tumbled down, with tears it held for years... washing over our souls, while you held me with thunderous glow... [verse 2 - memories rippled in puddles, familiarity born anew] the world reset on our dry hearts... pressed together safely, a memory worlds apart... something i held gravely... æ̃h...oh—æ̃h... oh—æ̃h—ah... oh—wæ̃ [prechorus build] clouds surround us, left, right... all around... but there's nowhere else... I'd rather be... [chorus 1 - dreamy, soaked, laying of wet asphalt looking at stormy skies] Standing in your memory— you reached for me... but i couldn't stay— so i ran—ran—ran away... oh—æ̃h—ah... ran—ran—ran away... oh—wæ̃... oh—æ̃h—ah oh... Standing in your memory— you reached for me... but i couldn't stay— so i ran—ran—ran away... ran—ran—ran away... [verse 3 - broken heart drowned in rain] The sky shattered with gold, and all around light scattered bold... you pulled me in with warmth, safe from the worlds harsh cold... like a hero ready to drown... [verse 4 - atmospheric pressure rising, bending time, lonely] closer and closer you held, through waves and frequency... like a personal guardian, owning the cost... dreams of broken memories... left in empty hands... [prechorus build] ah—æ̃h—oh— oh—wæ̃... oh—æ̃h—ah oh... clouds surround me, up and down... all around... but there's nowhere else... i'd rather be... [chorus 2 - dreamy, soaked, laying of wet asphalt looking at stormy skies with rainbows] Standing in your memory— i reached for you... but you couldn't stay— so i ran—ran—ran away... oh—æ̃h—ah... ran—ran—ran away... oh—wæ̃... oh—æ̃h—ah oh... Standing in your memory— you reached for me... but i was already gone— so they took you away... away from me... [breakdown - chorus choir continuation] æ̃h...oh—æ̃h... oh—æ̃h—ah... oh—wæ̃... oh—æ̃h—ah oh... æ̃h...oh—æ̃h... oh—æ̃h—ah... oh—wæ̃... oh—æ̃h—ah oh... [lamented solo cutting through the choir] [bridge - searching for answers] æ̃h...oh—æ̃h... oh—æ̃h—ah oh... the thunder scratches echoes of you, across my heart... light shattering those memories, from my soul... æ̃h...oh—æ̃h... oh—æ̃h—ah oh... so i let it fall... æ̃h...oh—æ̃h... oh—æ̃h—ah oh... fall all around... - [final chorus - outro, emotional release] Standing in your memory— i reached for you... but you couldn't stay— so i ran—ran—ran away... oh—æ̃h—ah... ran—ran—ran away... oh—wæ̃... oh—æ̃h—ah oh... Standing in your memory— you reached for me... but i was already gone— so they took you away... away from me... [end]
