Caught Up In the Past

4:23americana, alt country, singer-songwriter Album Twilight Override 2025-09-26

Description

The sounds of the rooftop party slowly seep into my half-sleep, as if someone else's joy is trickling down the walls. Up there, lights and short romances shine, while down here, thoughts get stuck in memories like sticky syrup. Everything beautiful and noisy in an instant becomes a shadow of what has long been lost, but still stubbornly lives in the corner of your eye.

The song has no desire to rush after this celebration - it is too clear that the past cannot be overtaken. Instead of a crown, there is only a golden glow; instead of victory, there is a flag, forever half-lowered. It sounds like a sad paradox: the night is lit with lights, but the sun will only rise when you dare to let go.
