About this track

A hauntingly beautiful track that blends tremolo-drenched electric guitars, a flowing acoustic guitar, a rolling bass line, and subtle drums into a rich, ambient soundscape. Built on the verses of a Major to 6th chord (with no third but add sus4) it creates a deeply mystical and ethereal atmosphere—dreamy, surreal, and introspective, like drifting through half-remembered dreams. The lyrics enhance this otherworldly quality with poetic, surreal imagery: "Hiding the time in a river of lime," "driftwood restless and lonely," mountains by fountains, and vast empty spaces slipping through cracks in the floor. The recurring refrain "I can't see them anymore" and the questioning line "Did I dream this all before?" evoke a profound sense of loss, impermanence, and the fragile nature of memory—wondering what was real and what has faded forever. Perfect for late-night reflection, the song feels both melancholic and quietly wondrous.
