Lyrics

Don't really know where I'm going tonight
Looking for something make me feel alright
I'm looking everywhere except inside
Don't really know where I'm going tonight

In the woods I walk in the night
Eyes trained for motion, or the flickering light of a
Fox spirit with the 9 tails
And each one is a story and we don't know the trail

In the dark
Lost always in the dark

I don't know how long I've been out
Following a river that just trickled out and
My wasted body is swarmed by flies
That replaced the spirits with the sunrise

Cuz I stopped listening to myself
I thought I had to, to receive divine help from the
Fox spirit with the 9 tails
And each one is a story and we don't know the trail

In the dark
Lost always in the dark
To be human is to lose our own spark
In the dark

I heard, “why’d you go looking for a fox spirit?”
“You started dying as soon as we met”
And now I'm the disappearing man
Who set sail on dreaming and then couldn't land

On the beach I walk in the night
Eyes trained for motion, or the flickering light of a
Fox spirit with the 9 tails
And each one is a story but we don't know the trail

In the dark
Lost always in the dark
To be human is to lose our own spark
I started dying soon as I forgot
I am the one who holds my light in the dark

And I'll have to learn it 9 more times
And I'll have to live 9 more lives
I started dying soon as I forgot
I am the one who holds my light in the dark

I am fascinated by the structure of your song - the chorus that adds line as it goes. Very nice lyrics and I like the message in them. Your vocals are gorgeous - wonderful tone, vocal inflection and phrasing. Great melody too - I like the jumps and also how you sing the title line. The song also flows so beautifully from section to section and has a lovely reflective energy to it. Really well done!

Great vocal delivery here and some terrific lyrics about darkness/night. A favorite lyric:
Fox spirit with the 9 tails
And each one is a story and we don't know the trail

You have a very nice melodic flow.

Great take on a mystic spiritual take on the Lost challenge. Really goes deep into the esoteric detail with focus on the nine tails, the re-occurring number nine, and the lines like being swarmed by flies. I really dig that. The tone is perfect for the theme. Was thinking about taking a similar path with my Lost challenge, so good inspiration here too. Really digging the tunes.
