Lighter Then I Know

STUDIO

[Intro] [pulsing synth pad, clean electric guitar arpeggio] [Verse 1] [bass and kick enter] I left the harbor with the tide A paper map folded at my side The engine hums beneath the floor And every mile becomes a door No heavy anchor, no fixed line Just open water, all in time [Chorus] [full band, overdriven guitars, bright synth lead] Floating, but I'm moving on Helped by nothing, carried strong Over blue where the distance been I don't need to know where it ends Floating with the morning view Every horizon turning new With the ground disappears below I let the current show me where to go [Post-Chorus] [synth hook continues, driving drums] [Verse 2] [drums drop to a filtered loop, palm-muted guitar] The coast gets wide across the gray The pier goes small and slips away I count the waves against the rail And feel the weather fill the sail No borrowed compass, no return I trust the pull of me this turn [Chorus] [full band, high-energy] Floating, but I'm moving on Helped by nothing, carried strong Over blue where the distance been I don't need to know where it ends Floating with the morning view Every horizon turning new With the ground disappears below I let the current show me where to go [Bridge] [half-time feel, atmospheric pads] Maybe freedom isn't flight Maybe it's really setting down the weight I brought And finding room to be [Guitar Solo] [distorted lead guitar, rapid eighth-note rhythm] [Chorus] [maximum intensity] Floating, but I'm moving on Helped by nothing, carried strong Over blue where the distance been I don't need to know where it ends Floating with the morning view Every horizon turning new With the ground disappears below I let the current show me where to go [Outro] [vocal ad-libs: Oh-oh-oh] [instruments fade to a single synth note] [tape stop effect]
