Tides

My North Star

“By the Window” is an acoustic folk ballad infused with baroque elegance and quiet introspection.
Fingerpicked guitar, soft string layers, and delicate piano create a gently flowing soundscape,
as the lyrics reflect on time passing quietly outside the window.
Melancholic but warm, the song captures the feeling of stillness, memory, and the beauty of simply existing between moments.

By the Window

Burnin’ down 

(Verse 1) Hands down low, you pull me in tight, Drownin' in the smoke of a blood-red night, Your touch, a spark that sets me free, Crashin' like waves, takin’ over me.
(Pre-Chorus) Breathe me in, drag me deeper down, Rippin’ through my body like a hurricane sound, Every shiver, every sigh you steal, This ain’t a dream, it’s the realest feel.
(Chorus) Got a heatwave heartbeat, crashin' fast, No way out, babe, no lookin' back, Sweat-drunk kisses, bruised-up skin, Pull me closer, let the chaos spin. Got a heatwave heartbeat, no break, no rest, Lose myself with you pressed to my chest, Bite my lip, make me drown — Heatwave heartbeat, we're burnin' down.
(Verse 2) Rose gold whiskey on my tongue, You’re hummin’ dirty songs I ain't ever sung, Grippin’ my hips like you own my soul, Got me slippin’ under full control.
(Pre-Chorus) Breathe me in, drag me deeper down, Rippin’ through my body like a hurricane sound, Every shiver, every sigh you steal, This ain’t a dream, it’s the realest feel.
(Chorus) Got a heatwave heartbeat, crashin' fast, No way out, babe, no lookin' back, Sweat-drunk kisses, bruised-up skin, Pull me closer, let the chaos spin. Got a heatwave heartbeat, no break, no rest, Lose myself with you pressed to my chest, Bite my lip, make me drown — Heatwave heartbeat, we're burnin' down.
(Bridge) No mercy, no slowin' it down, Just a body rush, just the hunger sound, Take it higher till we’re beggin’ for air, Get drunk on touch, get lost out there.
(Chorus) Got a heatwave heartbeat, crashin' fast, No way out, babe, no lookin' back, Sweat-drunk kisses, bruised-up skin, Pull me closer, let the chaos spin. Got a heatwave heartbeat, no break, no rest, Lose myself with you pressed to my chest, Bite my lip, make me drown — Heatwave heartbeat, we're burnin' down.
(Outro) Ashes on the sheets, smoke on your breath, Whisper my name ‘til there’s nothin’ left, Shakin’ like thunder, skin to skin, Heatwave heartbeat — do it all again.

Burnin’ down (blues)

Born For The End

Still water

Pain And Misery

Some people don’t run because they don’t care. They run because they care too much, and it terrifies them.
This song is for the ones who want to let love in but don’t know how.
It’s about the push and pull, the fear behind the walls, and the hope, fragile, but persistent, that someone might still stay.
“Forever On This Road” is a confession. A test. A prayer.

Forever On This Road

Somebody else's song

As Roshi Albert Low so well put it, the art of detachment and the art of inner life are two sides of a same coin.

A Quiet Life. Tribute to a true Zen Master

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Golden leaves beneath my shoes,
Sky is painted shades of blue,
Every breath feels bittersweet,
Whispers echo down the street.

Chorus:
Lost in autumn, time won’t wait,
Moments pass, they fade, they break,
Hold my hand before it’s gone,
Seasons change but life goes on.

Verse 2:
Coffee stains and faded books,
Empty benches, stolen looks,
Every second slips away,
But the colors choose to stay.

Bridge:
If tomorrow feels too far,
We’ll stay right here where we are,
In the silence, hear the song,
Of a season we belong.

Chorus (x2):
Lost in autumn, time won’t wait,
Moments pass, they fade, they break,
Hold my hand before it’s gone,
Seasons change but life goes on.

Outro:
Golden leaves keep falling slow,
But with you, I’ll never let go.
