Shades of Yesterday

[Intro]
(Atmospheric, swirling choral synth pads - deep and airy)
(Soft, pulsing analog bassline - rhythmic and steady)
(Short, melodic synth bell motif)

[Verse 1]
Faded pictures on the wall
Shadows dancing in the hall
I remember every word
Like a song I’ve always heard
Moving through the quiet light
In the middle of the night.

[Verse 2]
Cold glass window, silver rain
Washing out the old refrain
Letters that I never sent
Tell me where the moments went
Standing on a bridge of glass
Watching all the hours pass.

[Pre-Chorus]
(Synth melody becomes more prominent - high pitched)
Time is moving... slow and fast
Nothing’s ever... meant to last.

[Chorus]
(Main melodic synth hook - simple and haunting)
(Choir synths building up in the background)
This is my gift, a sign of time
A rhythmic beat, a lonely rhyme
Holding on to what was there
Like a whisper in the air.
(Background: Ooh... ooh-ooh...)

[Verse 3]
Empty streets and neon blue
Every turn reminds of you
Echoes of a distant drum
Waiting for the day to come
Broken signals in the air
Searching for you everywhere.

[Verse 4]
Stars are falling in the sea
In a world of mystery
Close your eyes and let it go
Further than we’ll ever know
Just a souvenir of gold
In a story never told.

[Bridge]
(Instrumental synth solo - flute-like texture, very melodic)
(Electronic bell sounds and heavy reverb)
(Drums strip back to just a pulse)

[Chorus]
This is my gift, a sign of time
A rhythmic beat, a lonely rhyme
Holding on to what was there
Like a whisper in the air.

[Outro]
(Music slowly strips back to just the choral pads)
(Fading out with a steady electronic pulse)
(Vocals: Echoes... shadows... moving through the light...)
(Final long synthesizer chord fading into silence)
