This is my entry for the #soundseasons event and I tried something different again. I have a version with glitches and echoes but I couldn't finish it in time so this is a different ones. I hope you'll like it as well. It's also another story like my previous ones. ╔═‒◦‒◦‒═════════‒◦‒◦‒═╗ β•‘ Prolog β•‘ β•šβ•β€’β—¦β€’β—¦β€’β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β€’β—¦β€’β—¦β€’β•β• Lyra’s curiosity broke the seal between seconds, and she fell into a silent drift. Umbra, following her light, slipped through the same tear. Now they share a strange land where time warps and every step feels both instant and endless. ╔═‒◦‒◦‒═════════‒◦‒◦‒═╗ β•‘ Lyrics β•‘ β•šβ•β€’β—¦β€’β—¦β€’β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β€’β—¦β€’β—¦β€’β•β• γ€Ž Verse 』 Walls shift and swim around This non place, it stretches thin Then collapses Time’s a sound A broken record skipping, a frantic spin. Umbra’s near A fixed point maybe Or just dragged in To this bizarre chronal sin? The air itself feels heavy and then disappears. Seconds crawl Then years just flash Gone γ€Ž Chorus』 Caught in the temporal snare! Fast forward, rewind, no control Stuck between the tick and the teΙ™r Cracking the frame of my soul! A moment lasts forever Dragging on γ€Ž Post-Chorus』 Then shatters like cheap glass thrown. Are we escaping? NEVER. Just particles randomly sown γ€Ž Verse 』 One step takes an age to land So slow My breath hangs suspended, like a painting Then the next step? A blur across the sand Or whatever this floor is, imitating Solid ground? Umbra reaches out, hand moving too fast. Then stopping, still. A future? A past? This prison makes no sound. Just the feeling of the universe unwinding, ill. Is that morning? Or endless dusk? My own thoughts fraying at the husk. γ€Ž Chorus』 Caught in the temporal snare! Fast forward, rewind, no control Stuck between the tick and the teΙ™r Cracking the frame of my soul! A moment lasts forever Dragging on... γ€Ž Post-Chorus』 Then shatters like cheap glass thrown. Are we escaping? NEVER. Just particles randomly sown. γ€Ž Bridge』 Is... is this... real? Tell me. Or a dream state? The edges blur, I can’t feel. Anything solid... it’s too late. Umbra? Can you hear me through the fuzz? Nothing between us Because... Because... (why?) γ€Ž Outro』 Fast slow broken Is it fast? Or just broken time? At least we are together
