Poem / Lyric: Solace (July 2023)

Writer's picture: Stefan ZhangStefan Zhang

Yearning for solace,

yet it can't be found.

Waiting for salvation,

living in depression


Moving lights shine on my face

Like rainbow faint but beautiful

Stretching my back to stand straight

Though the weight is too oppressing to bend


Look, it’s the pathway to escape

Ha, no that’s just imagination


Listen, to the sign of relieving

Oh, ok that’s just my sound of sighing


Leaving for more

That can’t be achieved

Making life busy

To look like okay


Hey, I can hear the sound of tearing heart

That’s ok, just screaming silently

Bear with me, let this ferment

And now, just keep the voice down, just drowning.


Craving solace, where does it hide?

Seeking salvation, lost in this ride.


Guiding lights, dancing on my face,

Like rainbows, delicate and full of grace.

I stretch my back, standing tall and straight,

But the weight oppresses, bending my fate.


Look, an escape, a path to be found,

Oh, it's just my imagination, spinning around.

Listen closely, the signs of relief,

Oh, wait, it's just my sighs, a bittersweet belief.


Leaving for more, chasing the impossible dream,

Busy making life seem okay, so it may gleam.

Hey, can you hear the sound of a heart being torn apart?

But it's okay, silently screaming, aching in the dark.


Hold on tight, let it all ferment inside,

Now hush, keep the voice down, let it quietly subside.
