The Drip

Step into the shadows of a New Year's Eve party, where the glamour and glitz hide the darkness and despair. This song is my ode to the eerie and mysterious, inspired by the iconic sound of Evanescence. I wanted to capture the essence of Amy Lee's haunting vocals and poetic lyrics, and infuse it with the atmosphere of a NYE party where the forced celebrations and superficial smiles conceal the true emotions of the revelers. Join me on this sonic journey into the heart of darkness, where the clock strikes midnight and the masks begin to slip.



LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Crowd of masks and empty faces
Echoes ring through darkened places
Midnight strikes the clock is broken
Fates entwine but words unspoken

[Verse 2]
Shattered dreams in crystal glasses
Hopes ground down in lifeless ashes
Glimmers shine in hollow laughter
Whispers float like ghosts hereafter

[Chorus]
Dance through shadows of the past night
Slick illusions traps in moonlight
Hold me close through fleeting madness
While we traverse this deep sadness

[Verse 3]
Lost souls twirl in haunted hallways
Truths dissolve in smoky fog haze
Blinding lights distort confusion
Find escape in false delusions

[Bridge]
Bones of time they creak and shiver
Memories distort and wither
Grasp the night through pain veins shudder
New year dawns in ink and thunder

[Chorus]
Dance through shadows of the past night
Slick illusions traps in moonlight
Hold me close through fleeting madness
While we traverse this deep sadness

Through Shadows of Time

Hey!...thanks for stopping in...Originally this profile was me, playing all the instruments in my own music...then, beginning in april, 2021, my good friend--Wil Greenstreet--jazz musician/composer-producer/alto sax, piano, bass, and keyboard player began a musical association with me--mostly supporting his compositions. He produced all of the pieces in which he plays (around 450 now)....Thanks to him and thanks to you for listening. ....also--most of the pics are of my paintings--or photographs of my paintings (or just photographs) expanded in photoshop...jim
