© Mary Solenne Studio. All lyrics and vocal performance reserved. 🌙✨ The slow-burn version. A woman drifts up from the deep toward the glowing lights of Thousand Stars Pier, drawn to a stranger who feels like a star fallen to earth. Soft as sea mist, aching as dawn. A night that may have been a dream, and one diamond on her pillow that says it wasn't. 💎 Mood: dreamy, sensual, bittersweet · Genre: quiet-storm soul × dream pop, 88 BPM [Intro — instrumental, ocean waves rolling in the deep, Rhodes drifting in slowly, warm bass entering, night-dark and underwater, heartbeat pulse felt not heard] [Verse 1] Through the depths of my oceans I hear the cry of our love The storm that stirred my heart Who calls me to be awoken once again The waves that carry me Lift me toward Thousand Stars Pier A silhouette in the lights Lost in thought, he stares into the dark Haloed like an angel And I'm lost in wonder [Pre-Chorus ] Dark electric Electricity Electrifies my skin Here in the cold waters By my own choosing I ride the tide With a force of energy No one can hold [Chorus] Seek the face you awake Seek the face you awake The sea that held her Thrust her through the surf With wild spray and gasps Salt water glistens on her skin Through the diamonds of the shore Seek the face you awake Seek the face you awake [Verse 2 ] Down below, I'm staring up at him A star angel in my eyes The dark sea holds a million stars Where the ocean meets the cosmos His golden hair, the brightest star His glowing eyes, his strength, his depths I long to float within his eyes I'd let him read the stars upon my skin [Chorus ] Seek the face you awake Seek the face you awake He sees her and the world tips over Caught between gravity and floating Their eyes lock like two rockets Ready to take off To the galaxy that is them Seek the face you awake Seek the face you awake [Instrumental Break — no vocals, slow sultry saxophone and Rhodes duet, fog drifting over the pier, heartbeat kick pacing like footsteps on stairs] [Bridge ] I hear my heartbeat thumping Coming alive As if time slowed and hastened all at once His body like a streak of drifting sea mist As he steps forward A mirage of my thoughts and dreams We reach for each other Fingertips tracing faces Are you real? Am I? [Break ] Seek the face you awake [Verse 3 ] Sunrise rays through my window Shining on my empty, sleepless bed And there upon my pillow A diamond from the shore I close my hand around it And swear I'll wake to you [Final ] Seek the face you awake Seek the face you awake She longs for him to witness All of her faces To see every mask she wears And bring her back to life Seek the face you awake Seek the face you awake [Outro — instrumental, dawn birdsong and gentle waves, Rhodes slowly fading, no vocals, soft fade to silence]
