River to pray

Tekst utworu

Genre: Lo-fi • Hip-Hop • EDM • Dance Tempo: 104 BPM Key: D Minor Music: Gentle river ambience fades into warm Rhodes piano. A filtered kick pulses underneath while airy vocal chops swell in the background. A distant synth slowly rises. (Soft female vocal, almost whispered) I keep... going to the river to pray... 'Cause I need something... Something that'll wash this pain away... VERSE 1 (0:20–0:52) "I keep, going to the river to pray, Because I need something that can wash out the pain. And I'm bored of sipping all these demons away. But your ghost, the ghost of you keeps me awake." I keep going to the river to pray, Because I need something that can wash out the pain. Every ripple knows my secrets, Every current speaks your name. I'm tired of drowning sober, Trying not to lose my way. Every sunrise keeps on coming, But my sky still looks the same. PRE-CHORUS (0:52–1:08) If healing takes forever... Then tell me where to start. I'm dancing with the silence, While you're living in my heart. CHORUS (1:08–1:40) I'm bored of sipping all these demons away, Trying to drink another memory straight. Your ghost... The ghost of you keeps me awake. So turn these tears into neon lights, Let my heartbreak own the night. If I can't bring you back again... I'll dance until the morning breaks. VERSE 2 (1:40–2:12) "I keep, going to the river to pray, Because I need something that can wash out the pain. And I'm bored of sipping all these demons away. But your ghost, the ghost of you keeps me awake." Every empty chair beside me Feels louder than the crowd. Everybody says you're gone now, But I still hear you somehow. Every laugh becomes an echo, Every road still feels the same. I keep reaching for tomorrow, But it keeps calling your name. MELODY DROP (2:12–2:36) Music: EDM synth lead blooms over lo-fi drums. Vocal chops repeat: "Oh-oh-oh..." "Wash the pain..." "Stay..." "Stay..." VERSE 3 (2:36–3:08) Maybe grief is just another Kind of love without a home. Maybe hearts were never meant To carry all this weight alone. So I'll keep your jokes beside me, Keep your fire in my veins. Even if you're somewhere higher, I'll still dance inside the rain. BRIDGE (3:08–3:42) Music: Beat strips back to piano, atmospheric pads, and distant vocal harmonies. Sometimes... I swear you're right beside me. Sometimes... I hear your voice between the beats. If heaven borrowed all your light... Then I'll become the stars tonight... So every time somebody smiles... A piece of you survives... VERSE 4 (3:42–4:14) "I keep, going to the river to pray, Because I need something that can wash out the pain. And I'm bored of sipping all these demons away. But your ghost, the ghost of you keeps me awake." One day rivers reach the ocean, One day storms give way to blue. One day all these broken pieces Will remind me more of you. Not the ending... Not the silence... Not the night you slipped away... But every moment that you lived... And every life you changed. FINAL CHORUS (4:14–4:54) "I keep, going to the river to pray, Because I need something that can wash out the pain. And I'm bored of sipping all these demons away. But your ghost, the ghost of you keeps me awake." I'm bored of sipping all these demons away, Trying to drink another memory straight. Your ghost... The ghost of you keeps me awake. So lift my soul above the tide, Carry me into the light. Love like yours can never drown... It only learns another sky. I'm still going to the river... Not to lose you... But to remember why you stayed. OUTRO (4:54–5:20) Music: The dance beat dissolves into soft vinyl crackle, flowing water, and Rhodes piano. The synth pads slowly fade. (Whispered) I'll keep going to the river... Not because the water forgets... But because it always remembers "I keep, going to the river to pray, Because I need something that can wash out the pain. And I'm bored of sipping all these demons away. But your ghost, the ghost of you keeps me awake."
