better off alone?

My Mind

A melancholic pop song following a narrator through post-relationship disorientation toward quiet recovery. Intimate, breathy verses contrast with fuller, punchy choruses; the text moves from sleepless rooms and folded confessions through reflective bridges to small, resolute steps into daylight, ending on a tender forward motion.

[Lyrics]

[Title: Wandering Lights]

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Rooms that used to hold us now keep talking low,  
photographs like questions I refuse to show.  
I feel the fold of promises beneath my skin,  
thin arrangements of where we might have been.  
I practice easy smiles I don’t always mean,  
tuck my trembling words behind a steady scene.

[Pre-Chorus]
Scenes replay in slow motion, edges start to bend,  
every map we drew together finds another end.  
My voice a small lantern in a room that used to glow,  
I speak into the quiet and the quiet feels like home.

[Chorus]
I’m moving through the city of my head tonight,  
chasing little lights that promise something right.  
Lost in velvet silence where our promises unwind,  
I reach for shelter that I cannot find.  
You were weight that pulled me till I slipped away,  
a sudden empty center in the middle of the day.  
Every street remembers how we tried to stay,  
I am wandering, I am wandering, under a pale sky.

[Verse 2]
Late confessions folded in the corner of a drawer,  
traces of a language that we used before.  
You learned the quiet places written in my hands,  
then left them like a coastline no one understands.  
I walk outlines of the plans we left undone,  
count the half-made promises beneath the sun.

[Interlude]


[Verse 3]
I keep a second mirror for the things I hide,  
the one that holds the small defeats I swallow with my pride.  
Your silhouette remains like a photograph in rain,  
sharp and then dissolving into morning’s plain.  
I try to stitch a smile from threads you left behind,  
but stitches pull and show the hollow of the line.

[Bridge]
There’s quiet in the spaces where we used to speak,  
a tender trouble curling at my cheek.  
I press my palms to memory and learn to hold the weight,  
carry all the fragments, let them settle, let them wait.  
If I could draw a line between the then and now,  
I’d learn to stand with daylight and not only bow.

[Verse 4]
I gather little things that whisper your small name,  
pin them to the morning like a moth to tame.  
They flicker soft and then they scatter like a doubt,  
tiny combustions the wind will sort out.  
I walk the thin dividing line between regret and grace,  
practice shaping laughter until it fits my face.  
A new map folds inside the weight of both my hands,  
I take a careful step into light, I learn to stand.

[Chorus Reprise]
I’m moving through the city of my head tonight,  
chasing little lights that promise something right.  
Lost in velvet silence where our promises unwind,  
I reach for shelter that I cannot find.  
Every street remembers how we tried to stay,  
I am wandering, I am wandering, under a pale sky.

[Instrumental Break]


[Outro]

breath becomes a rhythm and the steady light will grow.  
I fold the night into a pocket and I go,  
walking forward with the small, true things I chose.

[Reprise Final]
Hushed line repeats, one last chord, then the room is still.

Rising Artist michel ko has released his new single “Gone” on 5/13 with the MV releasing as well. 
Heavily inspired by 80s pop music "Gone" is a summer bop where michel ko reflects over the lost relationship with his past lover. He croons that he "wanted [her] gone but now [he] she's her different sides", and how she was his "love at first sight", allowing listeners to sympathize over their own regrets in their past relationships.
This song was again produced by long-time collaborator and friend KRICK.
