Ripple In My Soul

about

With Ripple in my Soul I wanted to try something more straight forward with the overall song structure, yet spicing it up with new stuff I never tried before. So I did this guitar solo, which was pretty hard to nail and also embrace the range of the six-string bass. The orchestra is more of a supportive element in this track. The structure is very basic and I wanted the parts for guitar and bass to be fun to play. Especially the bass parts are a ride. I also wanted the atmosphere to be intense, yet not menacing. More like dreadful and claustrophobic.

Ripple in my Soul is best summed up by the first lines: „There‘s a ripple in my soul, causing a life of destruction. Got no feelings, got no pulse. Just a lifeless contraption drowning in sadness.“
The song describes the feeling of nothing making sense anymore and losing all hope for life getting any better. Being used to feeling a certain way of overwhelmed, lacking a sense of seing a brighter future and in the end just giving up. What matters if nothing matters?

„I look in the mirror just to find: what a shame, such a pityful design.“

lyrics

There’s a ripple in my soul
causing a life of destruction.
Got no feelings, got no pulse.
Just a lifeless contraption.
Drowning in sadness.

I doubt I’d kill myself
just today.
I’m bound to a life
that’s lost anyway.

This endless fighting,
this endless grieve.
It feels so pointless
no relieve.

A whole existence full of restraints.
I am used to feeling this way.
My mind is numb, my body is weak.
My hands are tied to my neck just want to leave.

I feel so heartless, I feel so numb.
Contemplating suicide on and on.
I look in the mirror just to find:
what a shame, such a pityfull design.

This life is so pathetic.
This life is so pathetic.
I pity myself drowning in sadness.
This life is so pathetic.

There’s a ripple in my soul
causing a life of destruction.

I doubt I’d kill myself
just today.
I’m bound to a life
that’s lost anyway.

This endless fighting,
this endless grieve.
It feels so pointless
no relieve.

I feel so heartless, I feel so numb.
Contemplating suicide on and on.
I look in the mirror just to find:
what a shame, such a pityfull design.
