Lyrics Text

I draw lines and mark where the rivers should bend
And trace out the roads that I'll never descend
A paper ocean, wrinkles and waves
Godlike intentions, but frozen in place
I chart constellations, connecting the stars
A galaxy born, as the ink leaves a mark 
The compass spins, but I’m stuck on this page
Set sail without movement, drifting in place
A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow
The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below
Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling
I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling
The horizon stretches, but it never grows near
The winds whisper secrets I refuse to hear
When one map is finished, I start off anew
I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true
I paint the shadows where the mountains once stood
And sketch every path that I’ll never pursue
A paper sky, the colors don’t blend
Lacking intention, a goal, or a plan
I’ve planned out journeys, a million so far
Though I’ve traced every line, there’s no path to embark
The ink dries slowly, it never runs out
A journey in drawings, but no steps to count
A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow
The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below
Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling
I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling
The horizon stretches, but it never grows near
The winds whisper secrets I refuse to hear
When one map is finished, I start off anew
I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true
These maps are a prison I created myself
I choose to stand still with no story to tell
A paper-thin world that easily tears
With intricate roads that lead me nowhere
A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow
The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below
Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling
I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling
The horizon stretches, but it never grows near
The winds whisper secrets I refuse to hear
When one map is finished, I start off anew
I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true
A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow
The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below
Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling
I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling
The horizon stretches, but it never grows near
The winds whisper secrets I refuse to hear
When one map is finished, I start off anew
I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true

Lyrics Language

English

Emotional Analysis

The emotional tone of the song is predominantly one of melancholy and introspection. It expresses feelings of being trapped, regret over unfulfilled dreams, and a longing for movement or change. The imagery of maps, journeys, and being stuck suggests a struggle with personal ambitions and the fear of not achieving them, evoking emotions of sadness and resignation.

Application Scenarios

This song could be applied in scenarios where individuals are reflecting on their aspirations and feelings of stagnation. It fits well in contemplative moments, such as while journaling, meditating, or during a quiet evening at home. The emotional depth also makes it suitable for scenes in films or television shows that explore themes of introspection, self-doubt, or personal growth.

Technical Analysis

The song utilizes a simple but effective chord progression typical of slow acoustic ballads. The lyrics are rich in metaphor, employing imagery related to maps, oceans, and constellations to convey feelings of being lost and stalled in life. The repetition in the chorus enhances the sense of being stuck, and the pacing is deliberately slow to match the reflective nature of the content.

Shattered

She’s from a broken home, a broken home, She’s from a broken home, a broken home. It’s sad, it’s all she’s ever known, A life of waiting for love to come. **Verse 2:** She hides behind closed doors, where silence screams too loud. She’s learned to wear a smile, but her eyes betray her doubt. She locks her pain away, in a box under her bed, But it finds her in the dark, whispering in her head. **Verse 3:** Her dad’s been gone for years, though he’s sitting in the chair, His eyes are distant oceans, lost somewhere out there. He used to be her hero, but now he's just a ghost, A shadow of the man she needed, when she needed him the most. **Verse 4:** Her mom’s a weary warrior, with battle scars so deep, She hides behind the bottles when she’s too tired to weep. She wears a brave face daily, but it cracks when she's alone, Carrying the weight of secrets that no one’s ever known. **Chorus:** She's from a broken home, a broken home, Where love is lost and nobody's whole. She’s searching for a place to hide, But the pieces never fit inside. She’s from a broken home, a broken home, Wishing she could heal, but she’s all alone. **Bridge:** She’s learned to stand on broken ground, But deep inside, she's lost and found. She whispers to the stars above, "Can I ever learn to trust in love?" **Chorus (Repeat):** She's from a broken home, a broken home, Where love is lost and nobody's whole. She’s searching for a place to hide, But the pieces never fit inside. She’s from a broken home, a broken home, Wishing she could heal, but she’s all alone.

we could

I'll plot the course, please come in, And just stay here for a sec. This is my way of showing you, we’ve got some vectors to check. Life’s a drag without your force, And I’m accelerating, of course. Can we just turn this into velocity? Chorus: 'Cause I've been calculating 'bout you lately, Maybe you could save me from this force I’m living in, And I know we could happen, 'Cause you know I’ve got the momentum too. Storms, they will come But I know that the sun will shine again He's my friend, and he says that we belong together And I'll sing a song to break the ice Just a smile from you would suffice It's not me being nice, but this is real tonight Chorus: 'Cause I've been calculating 'bout you lately, Maybe you could save me from this world of motion I’m in, And I know we could happen, 'Cause you know I’ve got the momentum too. I know you feel the pull. There's no other, there's no other love That I'd rather have, you know There ain't no one, there ain't no one else I want you for myself Chorus: I've been calculating 'bout you lately, Maybe you could save me from this moving world we’re in, And I know we could happen, 'Cause you know I’ve got the momentum too. I know you feel it too.

The echos of your love 💕😘

**Echoes of Your Love** (Verse 1) In the quiet of the evening glow, Your laughter echoes, a comforting flow, From the whispers of the night, To the dawn that breaks your light. You held my hand through the darkest fears, Wiped away the dust of my childhood tears, Every lesson wrapped in a warm embrace, In this dance of time, no one can take your place. (Chorus) Oh, Mom, can you hear my heart? Every beat, a symphony, you played the part, In the pages of my memories, you shine so bright, A heartfelt melody carried through the night. And when the world feels heavy, I close my eyes, Finding solace in your love, where my spirit flies. (Verse 2) Through the storms of life and the raging seas, You were my anchor, my roots, my trees, With every sacrifice, you paved the way, Building dreams in the shadows of yesterday. Your whispers of strength, they linger still, Your passion ignited my every thrill, From the lullabies to the midnight talks, In the corridors of my heart, your love unlocks. (Chorus) Oh, Mom, can you hear my heart? Every beat, a symphony, you played the part, In the pages of my memories, you shine so bright, A heartfelt melody carried through the night. And when the world feels heavy, I close my eyes, Finding solace in your love, where my spirit flies. (Bridge) And if the stars were candles, lighting up the skies, I’d gather them like wishes and for you, I’d rise, In this endless journey, as the seasons change, Your love's the compass that will never wane. Through the echoes of time, your spirit remains, A love eternal, breaking all chains. (Chorus) Oh, Mom, can you hear my heart? Every beat, a symphony, you played the part, In the pages of my memories, you shine so bright, A heartfelt melody carried through the night. And when the world feels heavy, I close my eyes, Finding solace in your love, where my spirit flies. (Outro) So here’s my song, it’s more than a rhyme, A heartfelt tribute, transcending time. With every note, I’ll serenade your grace, In the echoes of your love, I’ve found my place.

Tears in the Rain

[Verse] Caught a glimpse of yesterday lost in shadows gray A silent cry within my heart as dreams all fade away Falling leaves whisper secrets of you and me undone Broken notes and melodies of a song that's never sung [Verse 2] Lonely streets and empty lanes memories left behind Every corner echoes pain as I search what I can't find Raindrops paint our story whispered on the ground Silent sorrow fills the air where love once was found [Chorus] Like tears in the rain falling broken and cold Mirroring the aching hearts and tales left untold We drift apart like morning mist that disappears Together yet so far chasing forgotten years [Bridge] Nighttime sky a canvas with stars that do not gleam Lost within a reverie of what was once our dream Silent winds they carry echoes of our laugh In this melancholy world love slips through the cracks [Verse 3] Morning light feels empty embracing a quiet morn Hollow days that stretch ahead in solitude forlorn Picture frames with traces of a life we used to know Fragments scattered aimlessly in this endless show [Chorus] Like tears in the rain falling broken and cold Mirroring the aching hearts and tales left untold We drift apart like morning mist that disappears Together yet so far chasing forgotten years

broke

(Verse 1) Whispers of sorrow, echoes of pain, Lost in a world of endless refrain, A heart once so full, now filled with despair, Tears falling like rain, leaving a mark so bare. (Chorus) In the depths of my soul, a melody weeps, For the love that has faded, the hope that now sleeps, The dreams that have shattered, the laughter that's gone, Leaving me broken, lost, and alone.

Bros Before Hos-Kaii-AI-singing
Bros Before Hos

[Verse] Johnny and me, down by the creek, Fishin' lines in the water, not a word to speak, Sippin' on a cold one, sun sinkin' slow, We got each other's backs, that's how it goes. [Verse 2] Saturday night, headin' to the bar, Pickin' up our guitars, underneath the stars, Dancin' through the sawdust, boots on the floor, Friends like these, couldn't ask for more. [Chorus] Bros before hos, that's what we've always said, Stickin' together, through the thick and thin ahead, Laughin' 'til the mornin', trouble's far behind, In this small-town life, it's a love you can't rewind. [Verse 3] Mary-Anne left, but we never skipped a beat, Couple of barroom boys, life ain't so sweet, Lean on each other, when the heartache shows, It's what you do when you've got bros before hos. [Verse 4] Summer nights blaze, but winters are cold, Stories gettin' older like the ones we've retold, Built on trust, stronger than the blows, A brotherhood's a bond that everyone else knows. [Chorus] Bros before hos, that's what we've always said, Stickin' together, through the thick and thin ahead, Laughin' 'til the mornin', trouble's far behind, In this small-town life, it's a love you can't rewind.

Aeg-Fury Ew-AI-singing
Aeg

Ei ole paremaid, halvemaid aegu. On ainult hetk, milles viibime praegu. Mis kord on alanud, lõppu sel pole. Kestma jääb kaunis, kestma jääb kole. Ei ole süngeid, ei naljakaid aegu. Võrdsed on hetked, kõik nad on praegu. Elul on tung kanda edasi elu, jällegi Kronos et saaks mõne lelu. Ei ole möödund või tulevaid aegu. On ainult nüüd ja on ainult praegu. Säilib, mis sattunud hetkede sattu. Ainuski silmapilk teisest ei kattu. Ei ole mõttetult elatud aegu. Mõte ei pruugigi selguda praegu. Vähemat, rohkemat olla ei võinuks. Parajal määral saab elu meilt lõivuks. Ei ole kaduvaid, kõduvaid aegu. Alles jääb hetk, milles asume preagu. Aeg, mis on tekkinud, enam ei haju, kui seda jäävust ka meeled ei taju.

Rise against the titans

[Verse] In shadows they whisper buy and sell In towers of glass they cast their spell But our voices rise like a wave in the sea No more chains no more silent plea [Verse 2] From every corner from every street The heartbeat of freedom starts to meet Taking back what's ours what's been controlled Time for the story of the brave to unfold [Chorus] Stand up shout out let the truth be heard We are the change with every spoken word Rise up break free let justice reign Together we'll shatter every chain [Bridge] No more profits from our pain and sweat The fire of justice lighting up the net In unity we find our strength within Against their greed our fight begins [Verse 3] Their golden thrones built on broken dreams We'll flood their halls with righteous screams With every step with every stand We're reclaiming power across the land [Chorus] Stand up shout out let the truth be heard We are the change with every spoken word Rise up break free let justice reign Together we'll shatter every chain

Whisper of the Willow-CyanoCuzWhyNot-AI-singing
Whisper of the Willow

Verse 1 Beneath the boughs of the ancient tree, Where moonlight dances soft and free, A maiden fair with hair of gold, Her gaze a tale, her smile untold. Oh, knight in armor, heart so true, Do you dream of her, as she dreams of you? Chorus Oh, love, like rivers winding wide, Bound by stars and the ocean's tide, Through storm and shadow, bright you gleam, My heart, my flame, my only dream. Verse 2 Her song did weave through the twilight air, A spell of longing, sweet and rare. He rode through dusk, through bramble’s thorn, To find the love for whom he’s sworn. The fates may call, the seas may roar, Yet love shall lead him to her shore. Chorus Oh, love, like rivers winding wide, Bound by stars and the ocean's tide, Through storm and shadow, bright you gleam, My heart, my flame, my only dream. Bridge The willow whispers, "Do not part, For courage lives within the heart." No sword nor crown can bind the soul, When love’s sweet song becomes the goal. Verse 3 Now side by side, in dawn’s embrace, They find the world a gentler place. The minstrel sings of their love’s lore, A tale of longing, forevermore. Oh, let their vow in hearts take hold, A love more precious than kings’ gold. Final Chorus Oh, love, like rivers winding wide, Bound by stars and the ocean's tide, Through storm and shadow, bright you gleam, My heart, my flame, my only dream. Outro So raise the lute, let voices soar, For love’s sweet song shall evermore Be sung beneath the willow tree, Where hearts entwine in destiny.
