Description: Bright and floaty instrumental with a warm autumn feel. Light melodies drift like clouds, carried by an upbeat rhythm that feels easy and carefree.

Lines:
Running in circles no end in sight
Streetlights flicker they’re losing their fight
Shadows stretch long they follow my name
The mirror’s cracked but I’m still the same

Words unsaid they hang in the air
Breath is heavy I’m gasping despair
Every mile feels like it’s twice as long
I’m chasing a ghost that’s already gone

Shadow steps shadow steps
Chasing me while I forget
Shadow steps shadow steps
Haunted by what’s not here yet

Concrete’s cold but my blood runs hot
Every corner I turn I’m caught
Fingers reach but they grab thin air
A voice whispers but no one’s there

Eyes wide open but the world’s gone blind
Searching for answers I’ll never find
The echoes scream and the silence roars
My mind’s a lock with a thousand doors

Fast fast faster I can’t slow down
The past keeps pulling I’m gonna drown
Lungs on fire heart’s out of tune
Running in circles beneath the moon

i’m steve. i started messing around with making beats back when covid hit, and over time i finally found a sound i’m proud enough to share. i used to be a software engineer caught up in the startup grind, but i burned myself out chasing that world. music became my way out — a way to slow down, explore my creative side, and actually feel free.
