Lingering Shadows
Sable Thorne
Contemporary R&B
About
This track features a smooth, trap-influenced groove at 85 BPM in A minor, with lush synth pads, 808 kicks, and breathy female vocals layered with subtle Auto-Tune for an intimate, confessional vibe. The production builds from sparse verses to anthemic choruses, incorporating Rhodes piano and delayed guitars to create a hazy, nocturnal atmosphere. It draws on neo-soul elements for emotional depth while maintaining a polished, digital sheen typical of modern R&B.
Lyrics
In the dim light of your room, I trace the lines you left behind Whispers in the air, but you're never really mine Heartbeats sync with the rain outside, falling like my pride Chasing shadows that you cast, in this endless night
And I feel it pulling me under Can't escape the way you thunder
Lingering shadows, they won't let me go Dancing in the dark where the feelings grow But I'm rising now, from the ache below In your absence, I find my glow
Texts unread on a screen that's cold, stories left untold Memories replay like a song on repeat, holding me in hold Tried to walk away, but your pull is strong In this city hum, where I don't belong
And I feel it breaking me open Hoping for a sign, unspoken
Lingering shadows, they won't let me go Dancing in the dark where the feelings grow But I'm rising now, from the ache below In your absence, I find my glow
Why do I hold on to the pain you gave? In the mirror, I see the strength I crave No more waiting for your light to save I'm the fire, burning through the haze
Lingering shadows, they won't let me go Dancing in the dark where the feelings grow But I'm rising now, from the ache below In your absence, I find my glow
Lingering shadows... fading slow
