Lyrics

Looking out the window, I feel happy, that I'm not out in the rain Seems like lately all the answers are as clear as night and day I look right in your direction but you feel so far away I look a little closer but your not there it's just my mind playing games Won't you listen when you hear me cause it mind sound like the wind Listen real clearly cause it might not, no it might not come again I've been searching for a reason to bring all this to an end I feel like I'm drowning in the ocean and then darkness settles in Miles away now and reflecting on my deeds of yesterday Minds still racing from the past of my decay Looks like I'll walk alone until my dying day I look a little closer but it's not me it's just you that drifts away Won't you listen when you hear me cause it mind sound like the wind Listen real clearly cause it might not, no it might not come again If you're still listening then I'll try not to pretend It's just a matter of the days now until our season ends Woke up this morning clarity was on the mend Realized that words can scar the best of friends I still see your reflection and this pain might never end And that's alright cause I can finally breathe again Won't you listen when you hear me cause it mind sound like the wind Listen real clearly cause it might not no it might not come again I'm still searching for a reason to bring all this to an end I feel like I'm drowning in the ocean but I see some light again

Description

“Listen” is an emotional alternative rock ballad about distance, regret, reflection, and the quiet desperation of wanting to be heard before it’s too late. Wrapped in atmospheric imagery of rain, oceans, darkness, and fading memories, the song explores the emotional aftermath of fractured relationships and the internal battle between holding on and letting go.

Through haunting verses and a deeply vulnerable chorus, “Listen” captures the feeling of reaching out into silence — where words drift like wind and emotions crash like waves beneath the surface. As the song progresses, themes of isolation and emotional decay slowly give way to clarity, acceptance, and the first glimpse of healing.

Cinematic, melancholic, and introspective, “Listen” blends raw lyrical storytelling with immersive emotion, creating a powerful atmosphere that resonates with anyone who has struggled to reconnect, forgive, or simply be understood.
