Hello! This is Monochrome Media and I’s entry for the ASTERIAN song contest by Eclipsed sounds! I’ve never worked on a song like this before, but I am so insanely happy with the result. When Monochrome sent me this instrumental, I knew we had a hit on our hands for sure. He truly created an amazing sound. It was an honor to write the lyrics and vocal melody to this song. Eggtan really killed it with the artwork too- I was shaking with excitement when they sent me the sketches. ASTERIAN is such an amazing SynthV voicebank. I am very grateful for this contest because I likely would not have used him for my typical style of music. He fits this genre extremely well, and he was so fun to work with. His vocal modes add so much expression to his already expressive voice. I really enjoy the message of this song, and I hope you guys enjoy the song as much as I enjoyed working on it!

LYRICS:

I'll pick up the pieces of this cracked mirror
If I start bleedin'
I'll save my tears for a rainy day
Can't let them go to waste
I'll pick up the pieces
Whatever's in season
Whatever I need to please
You
You

I'm wondering if it's too late to go back
I'm wondering if there's something in these scraps
Please tell me that all this work
Didn't amount to nothing in the end
I'm covering up any sign of collapse
Pretending that it's not becoming unwrapped
Please tell me it's not absurd
To wish I never started to mend

All I see
Are fragments of myself in the crowd
Memories
Of someone I can't stand now
Come find me
'Cause I'm done looking
Lost at sea
On a ship that's burning

I'm feelin' the blood seeping through my fist and
Questioning why I don't feel it
When did I numb the pain
When did it go away
The feelings are fleeting
Am I even breathing
I just want to cease to be
Me

I don't recognize the eyes staring back into mine
Tell me when I can go home

All I see
Are fragments of myself in the crowd
Memories
Of someone I can't stand now
Come find me
'Cause I'm done looking
Lost at sea
On a ship that's burning

All I see
Are fragments of myself in the crowd
Memories
Of someone I can't stand now
Come find me
'Cause I'm done looking
Lost at sea
Forever yearning
