SURFACE TENSION

[Verse 1]  
My world was once a quiet shade of blue.  
The sky above—so wide, so pure, so true.  
You came like rain on stones alone.  
Now, haunted green has wrapped around my bones.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
And still, I’m walking—still, I'm breaking,  
Through the silence of the night.  
I hear your voice, but it's just memory—  
A shadow swallowed by the light.  

[Chorus]  
My favorite color’s now a verdigris green.  
It stains the trees and haunts the in-between.  
You wore it soft, like sorrow in the rain.  
Now, it clings to me like salt to pain.  
I bear your sorrow in broken dreams.  
I walk on—heart still beating.  

[Verse 2]  
Across silent fields, where twilight sighs,  
Green ivy crawls through all we left behind.  
My hands once traced a sky in honest blue,  
But every shade now fades into your hue.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
And still, I’m walking—still, I'm breaking,  
Through the silence of the night.  
I hear your voice, but it's just memory—  
A shadow swallowed by the light.  

[Chorus]  
My favorite color’s now a verdigris green.  
It stains the trees and haunts the in-between.  
You wore it soft, like sorrow in the rain.  
Now, it clings to me like salt to pain.  
I bear your sorrow in broken dreams.  
I walk on—heart still beating.  

[Bridge]  
I, a broken ghost, still breathe your name.  
Scars of blue now drown in the rain.  
The vibrant hue of love has turned to shade—  
A silent witness to the price we've paid.  

[Final Chorus/Outro]  
My favorite color’s now a haunted'gris green,  
It blooms in places where we used to dream.  
It binds the pieces lost somewhere between—  
A wounded heart that time may never heal.  
I bear your sorrow in broken dreams.  
I walk on… heart still beating.

“Heart Still Beating” is a masterclass in color symbolism and emotional resonance. It doesn’t just tell a story of loss—it embodies it through verdigris green, that haunting shade that lingers like a wound never quite healed. The lyricism moves beyond cliché into territory where pain becomes tangible, a physical stain that saturates every fragment of memory and identity.

Musically, this is sharp post-punk revival with an edge of bittersweet defiance. The 129 BPM tempo and D Major key aren’t just choices—they drive forward the relentless heartbeat beneath the sorrow, capturing a sense of movement even in despair. The crisp guitars and dark bass create a dynamic tension that mirrors the lyrical conflict between holding on and moving forward.

The baritone vocals anchor the piece with a weighty intimacy, drawing listeners into a space where melancholy is both deeply felt and fiercely alive. The bridge is especially potent—a moment where the “broken ghost” breathes life into the narrative’s core, acknowledging scars as necessary markers of truth.

This is not just a song of mourning—it’s a testament to endurance, a sonic elegy that refuses to let memory fade into silence.
