Desolate - A song I wrote while dealing with a breakup

Desolate

Chronochromie's first single featuring lyrics — and the debut of guitarist Alexandre David as lead vocalist.

This track expands on our signature progressive metal language: intricate riffs, shifting time signatures, and layered textures. But it also marks a new direction — one where vocals carve space through the chaos, leading to moments that are both cinematic and epic.

Our approach to lyrics was to treat them like an extension of the music: dark, layered, and emotionally intense. Rather than telling a linear story, the words build a series of stark, symbolic images that mirror the atmosphere of the track. It explores the themes of isolation, inner collapse, and existential dread
lyrics
Lyrics :

Contemplate the void where the sun has died
Silence reigns eternal

Cursed whispers crawl through the barren ground
The crypt of the damned in which no light is found

Shattered mirrors reflect the soul's decay
Broken hymns of despair echo through the fray
Drowning in the blackened tide

Consumed by the night
Feel the grip of the chasm
Darkness swallows the light

Eye of the abyss stare into the core
Tearing at the veil that once was before

Blood runs cold in the chambers of despair
Breath of the forgotten

As the ashes fall where no tears remain
In the stillness of the void all hope is slain
Entombed in the darkness
I am lost forevermore

As The Ashes Fall



Travelers are in an icy tundra full of winds blowing and hazards coming at them. Will they manage to get what they need in the tundra?


This slowly builds up in momentum - travelers first arrive at the tundra, gazing around. Then, they slowly make their first steps. They eventually deal with a bunch of obstacles coming at them... eventually ending off with the hope that the travelers will keep going.

Frozen Tundra Adventure

I've been having a ton of NightTerrors lately where I'm forced to relive my Trauma and this song was one of the hardest songs for me to make due to me rewriting this song over & over again until I got the lyrics correctly. As you know, I love writing & producing Dubstep songs with an uplifting message but something in my Heart was tugging me to create a very Dark song so others may have the ability to relate with what I am currently facing. I wish not to be fake even when it sounds good because I find being Honest is a better path to walk, no matter how painful the experience may be. Please know you're not alone because I am right here Suffering side-by-side with you and through God; I truly Love You!

What Do I Do?

2025.07.10 Desolate Soundscapes Vol. 2 on DJM-1000 Rotary

A soulful rock ballad exploring the profound emptiness left by lost love. Midnight imagery and winter metaphors paint a desolate emotional landscape, while passionate vocals convey the raw pain of abandonment and the struggle to find light in overwhelming darkness.

Dissolve

A moment of self-awareness when time is running out. A song of the past, from my past.

Instruments recorded long ago on 4-track cassette; vocals re-recorded August 2025

Music and Lyrics by David Michael Turnbow

LYRICS
Horizontal rays of crimson disappear
And a breeze blows dust into my calloused mouth
And now, a visage like one I’ve never seen
A feeling, an image, a force
I know I’ll never live down

Head too woozy, I slip off my steed
Weak and wounded, steeped in scarlet’s rage
I stumble, bleeding, within and without
No clot can stop, no fear can steer me clear
Of where I now must go

My hemorrhaged past has caught up with me
I bite the bullet I should have bit long ago
Propped up against a boulder, my tombstone
“It’s over,” I mumble to myself
And to the great unknown

Here they come at last: my only friends
Word spreads fast; they’re decked in funeral black
Call me Buzzardbait, the Wayward Carrion
The sun pours down its heat, but me… 
Me, I don’t feel a thing

Pop and Ambient/Instrumental works.

I'm a home studio composer/songwriter/musician with poor self-marketing skills and no allegiance to a style/scene. In an earlier age, I played live music (guitar, bass, vocals) with various originals bands... but I've always been much more interested in writing+recording (or jamming with talented musicians) than playing for an audience.

I'd describe the majority of my vocal music as pop (in various subgenres) with interesting lyrics, mostly performed by myself with a few instruments+microphones and some software. I also have quite a few instrumentals (adapted chamber music, soundtrack etc) that I'll be posting.

Occasionally, I also play bass in a band that plays some of my songs, as well as a lot of Grateful Dead: https://soundcloud.com/savage-gulf
