Painter of Air

“Coming Home” is an atmospheric soft-rock ballad built around a haunting 80s-inspired electronic soundscape. Vintage drum machines, analog synth pads, and delayed clean-guitar lines create a nostalgic, cinematic mood that feels both lonely and intimate. The vocal is smooth, close-mic’d, and emotional — almost whispered in places — slowly building in intensity as the song progresses.
The track moves from sparse, minimal tension into a dramatic explosion: a massive gated-reverb drum break that opens the final act, with bass and full instrumentation hitting at once for a powerful, cathartic release.
It’s a song about wandering far, realising the emptiness of the journey, and hearing the quiet, persistent call of grace pulling you back home. Warm, reflective, emotional, and ultimately redemptive.

Lyrics

Verse 1

I've been walking down these empty roads
Chasing shadows that I'll never hold
Every step takes me further from the truth
Further from the home I knew

Chorus 1

But there's a flame still burning
A door that's open wide
No matter how far I've wandered
You're waiting on the other side

Verse 2

All the years I spent believing
I could make it on my own
Left me stranded in the distance
So far away from home

Chorus 2

But there's a flame still burning
A door that's open wide
No matter how far I've wandered
You're waiting on the other side

Bridge Build

So I'm turning around now
Leaving everything behind
The prodigal is coming home tonight
Coming home tonight
Coming home
There's a flame still burning
I can see it from here

Final Chorus

And there's a flame still burning
A door that's open wide
No matter how far I've wandered
You're waiting on the other side
You're waiting on the other side

Outro

You're waiting on the other side
You're waiting on the other side
I'm finally coming home

Coming Home

Text:
[Verse 1]
Stars are dying, silence fills the void,
Galaxies drift apart — the emptiness deployed.
We built our towers, our dreams, our light,
But they fade away into the endless night.

[Pre-Chorus]
Time’s a relic, space is trembling —
What we know is just beginning of the ending.

[Chorus]
When the cosmos breaks,
when the final silence falls,
All our voices echo,
down the cosmic halls.
Nothing’s infinite,
nothing lasts forever —
We ride the tail of stars,
in the storm of never.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Black holes whisper, dark energy screams,
The fabric of reality unraveling its seams.
Planets turn to ashes, light begins to fade,
In the void of endless night, memories degrade.

[Bridge – whispered, solemn]
We are stardust, born to shine —
but even dust must bow to time.
And when the final curtain falls,
can love survive beyond it all?

[Final Chorus]
When the cosmos breaks,
when the final silence falls,
All our songs will tremble,
like ghosts within the walls.
We held the light — we saw the dawn,
but even dawn must close its eyes.
When the cosmos breaks,
we fade into the skies.

(solo)

[Outro – spoken/half-sung, calm but powerful]
Don’t fear the final night —
the universe won’t end today,
not in a million lifetimes.
The cosmic clock moves slow,
far beyond our mortal horizon.

But here, on this tiny blue world,
the fire’s rising now.
Ice is melting, oceans climbing,
storms growing teeth —
and that’s the danger we can touch.

So breathe —
the cosmos won’t collapse on us.
But the climate might,
if we don’t stand up
before the ground beneath us burns.

No fear of the stars falling —
fear the world we’re breaking.
And fix it while we still can.

When the Cosmos Breaks (Final Echo)
