Fading Behind Me

[Verse 1]
I walked the shoreline
barefoot against the wind
sand caught in every silence
waves too tired to even begin

The tide held its breath again
not a promise not a wish
just the calm between each moment
and the sound that never came

[Chorus]
Footprints fading behind me
gone before they reach the sea
I let the wind decide
where I end
where I used to be

[Verse 2]
Loneliness didn’t misbehave
it sighed and turned away
left a warmth I couldn’t handle
and was never meant to keep

The salt air held too many secrets
the sky looked the other way
I kept walking like it mattered
but the ground forgot me anyway

[Chorus]
Footprints fading behind me
like a face no one remembers
I let the wind decide
what to keep
what to leave

[Bridge]
There is no one on the beach now
just the cold
and my retreat
no answers in the tide
just the way it pulls from me

[Final Chorus]
Footprints fading behind me
not even shadows want to stay
I let the wind decide
and it took you away
and it took you away

Fading Behind Me

#ballad #sad #emotional #folk #folkpop 
I wrote this thinking of the creative minds that want to be heard. And to anyone who wants to be remembered after they are gone. But also a warning to all about those with their hands out hoping to ‘Help’ you only to discover they want your money, not your talent…
I hope you like it. 

Lyrics:
Write your heart to me
In a song
In a poem 
before it stops beating
And you fade away
Speak your peace 
Out loud to the world
In the wind
In the rain

leave your precious mark, 
Your scent, your footprint, 
Before you fade away
Away away (away)

before 
you fade…
Away. away. away.


Carve your mighty name (before you fade away…)
On a tree
On a rock
before 
you fade…
Away. away. away.
Speak your inner peace
Out loud (to the world)
In the wind
In the rain
To those who can care to hear
Before you (you) disappear 
before our time
Whenever that is to be
leave your magic mark, 
Your unique scent, your heavy footprint, 
Before you fade away
Away away (away)

Ignore those who claim they know
What you should say
Try to have you sign your essence away
before 
you fade…
Away. away. away.

Indelible ink
Contract Written in blood
Sell your soul (bleed out) 
Bleed out (sell your soul)
For pennies from heaven 
A positive review (they’re gonna love you)
From one who doesn’t even know you
But says they do (Kiss them firmly)
Praise you up and down with their chubby hand out (Take a little nip)
then tries to sell you (Giggle in delight)
a keg of expensive lies (Send them on their way)
They’ve devised to (Without a reply)
Turn you into a sad broke joke (Bye bye bye)

Write your heart 
In a song
In a poem 
before it stops beating
And you fade away
Say your peace
Out loud
In the wind
In the rain
To those who can hear
Before you (we all) disappear 
before our time
Whenever that is to be
leave your mark, 
Your scent, your footprint, 
Before you fade away
Away away (away)

write your heart

[Verse 1]
It's a psycho Saturday
I'm gonna fuck it up tonight
I'm gonna fuck it up tonight
It's a psycho Saturday
You know I only want one thing on my mind
(Romeo)
(Romeo)
Only got one thing on my mind
(Romeo)
(Romeo)
Hyperactivity speeding up the street
(Romeo)
(Romeo)
Romeo

[Chorus]
When I hear that song play
I should know better
Call me out
I can tell you what you want to hear
I should know better
Call me out
I can tell you what you want to hear

[Verse 2]
I know the way that I have to go
Cause I wanna get on the mic
Got lost downtown and I discovered
There's always something waiting for you
I'll run straight to you
I've got no shame in my life
I just have to go and look for it

[Chorus]
I should know better
Call me out
I can tell you what you want to hear
I should know better
Call me out
I can tell you what you want to hear
I can tell you what you want to hear

One Step From The Edge

Song of Time and Transformation

The Song of Time and Transformation is a ritual chant of the Garumani, sung in harmony with the flowing waters of Narvelar — the Twin Currents of Shadow and Light.
It weaves together the ancient rhythm of Sanmor (Silence), Larin (River), Thilor (Light), and Viloth (Spirit), reminding the wanderer that life is not a straight path, but a cycle of echoes.

Each verse speaks of change: shadows becoming light, endings returning as beginnings, rivers flowing endlessly into the Ocean of Spirit (Viloth’larin). The refrain repeats the four eternal presences:

“Oto cisza, oto rzeka,
Oto światło, oto duch.”

— “Behold silence, behold the river,
Behold the light, behold the spirit.”

The song is both simple and profound. Its rhythm is steady, like the heartbeat of water. It is meant to be sung softly, allowing the voice to merge with the rippling reflections of light and shadow.

The Song of Time and Transformation is not only music — it is meditation, a bridge between the inner self and the eternal river of existence.

Song of Time – Narvelar

Shadow flows, and light returns,
The river dreams in stones of weight.
The spirit of change is dancing in water,
And silence is breathing in the deep.


Sanmor lo, Larin lo,
Thilor lo, Viloth lo.
“Behold silence, behold the river,
Behold the light, behold the spirit.”


Light is guiding, shadow is shelter,
Two currents meeting within the song.
Stars of Shanoril flicker on the surface,
And the stones of Moril keep the memory.


Sanmor lo, Larin lo,
Thilor lo, Viloth lo.
“Behold silence, behold the river,
Behold the light, behold the spirit.”


Maroth the butterfly hovers above,
Its wings are singing of change.
What has been is always returning,
What will come is already breathing.


Sanmor lo, Larin lo,
Thilor lo, Viloth lo.
“Behold silence, behold the river,
Behold the light, behold the spirit.”

Coda

Narvelar flows with twin voices,
Shadow and light entwined as one current.
Whoever gazes into its waters gazes into their soul,
And the spirit answers within silence.

Pieśń Czasu i Przemiany

"Blinded" is a heartfelt R&B track that captures the emotional turmoil of a love lost to a stupid fight.
It's a confession of a love so new it felt blinding, a war between the heart's longing and the mind's fear of rejection.
The lyrics are a raw, vulnerable plea for a second chance, a promise that a love so strong cannot end.
It's about the emotional journey of a person who is tired of living without their love, a person who is ready to grow.
The song captures the feeling of a world that has been on hold, a world that is ready to be a part of.
The powerful vocals tell a story of a person who has dealt with their insecurities and is now ready to take a chance.
It's a declaration of a love so true, that it is worth dying for, and a vow to always be there.
The song is a beautiful reminder that a mistake can be corrected, and a love that is real should always be fought for.
Tell me which lyric hit you the most—I read every comment.

Blinded

I have been waiting for so long
Waiting to have you in these arms again
We have lost our way, just want to hold you, feel your warmth
But, no I can not push it, so much gone on
These emotions keep pulling on me, then there is you
My heart strings keep vibrating, pulling at my love
My love won’t go away, it is all you

Sorry, need you now, I am blinded by your love
Blinded by your love, blinded by your love oooh, yeah  blinded
Don’t know why we drifted apart, but I miss you
Need you in these arms again, want to hold you
Then again, can not deal with the rejection, oooh no
Fighting with myself, my mind and heart are feuding, [they are fighting over you]
You’re still here and my heart is saying it wants your touch, to hold you, to love you
My head is saying, your not strong enough, if we get knocked back again, don’t know what to do

*Short Instrumental*

Sorry, need you now, I am blinded by your love
Blinded by your love, blinded by your love [oooh, yeah]
Got to take that chance, got to say what you want to hear and mean it
I am in love with you, always will be, cannot live without you, not going anywhere
Sorry, need you now I am blinded by your love, it was so new to me, did not know what to do
Blinded by your love, blinded by your love , blinded by your love (ooooooh)

I want you, want you all my life, I have grown, be mine [ooooh yeah]

Blinded

Blinded - A Soulful Confession of Emotional Conflict and Newfound Courage

Inspiration is a rock/pop anthem about finding strength and purpose through passion and belief.

Inspiration

When I wake up, I don’t wanna
Face the mirror, I'm a goner
Fake my cool, my chest gets hotter
It burns like soda in my veins
Missed that moment, lost that dollar
Scuffed up ego, hot on the collar
Buzzin’ head, where's the gain?
Nobody’s driving me sane

You talk slick, I can’t stand it
Go ahead, tear your bandage
You just want to drag my name
While I cave in, you play savage
God, I hate it — but I manage
You make me sort of enjoy the pain

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up feelin’ like a fake, oh
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up - next to my mistakes, no
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Lose my place or lose my grip
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up - just to exist

Keep on loopin’, thoughts keep shootin’
Half alive and half rebootin’
Hold my breath like it’s a stunt
Play that role and keep disputin’
Truth’s diluted, mind’s polluted
Choke me gently, call it blunt

You're so proud, I can’t mute it
Tear me down and refute it
You make me want to burn places I've seen
But I still stay, barely rooted
Freaking out, wired, deluded
You make me wanna claw through my screen

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up feelin’ like a fraud, oh
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up prayin’ - oh my god, no
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Keep losing sleep I can’t recall
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Keep being your light in the hall

Told myself that it gets better
But I’m still taped up with tether
Every day I come undone
Take my face off, switch the weather
If I break, well, call it clever
Say I ran — but I never run

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up stitched into a mask, oh
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Rehearse answers, you never ask, no
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Chase the lines that they made bleed
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up just to not succeed


I Don't Wanna

Boogie in the Dark (with you)

Insomnia sometimes brings out a song. Early morning musings.

Lyrics:

Ummmmmm
Sipping black tea
Staring at the full morning moon
Hanging in the dark.
It’s four a.m. 
been awake for hours (hours and hours)
Waiting. Watching. 
For The world to reappear
Sipping black tea
Under the morning moon (beautiful morning moon)

Stay with me now.
Early morning moon (hanging in the dark)
Stay with me now
Please. Please.
Stay with me now (please please)
Ummmmmmmm

I’ve been waiting for this chance
To start anew
But my addiction to you
Has held me tight 
In a dizzy limbo
Choking me of life
With no end in sight
Ummmmm
No end in sight

Early morning moon
Stay with me now
Please. Please.
Stay with me now
Ummmmmmmm

I’ve been waiting for this calm
For so long now
I’d given up hope
It would ever be found
But as you fade the world reappears
Tree by tree. branch by branch.
Out of the dark under the morning moon
Lights turn on as people awake 
Stay with me now. (Please please) 
Stay with me now

Ummmmm
I’ll take no drink
I’ll sip no wine
To pull me away from this divine
Give me strength as the world reappears
To hold firm in resolve
I’ll keep thy moon near

Early morning moon (hanging in the dark)
Stay with me now
Please. Please.
Stay with me now (please please)
Ummmmmmmm

early morning moon

A chance .not even a second chance. just a chance
