shades of you
"shades of you" is a song with lyrics written by Elara Emberly and music generated by Udio. The music video is made in Vizzy.io (project by: Ribe, AstricX, Cosmic, Nin Hoang Official, Евгений Читеров, leebowon, Jo Rich, stitchfxce, German). The song reflects on being lost in a chromatic haze of distractions, where colors and lights blur into meaninglessness until one presence cuts through it all. It accompanies the novella, The Storm by the Shore.

lyrics
[Verse]
Life is a struggle to find,
Often blinded by the times
Lies become better sights
Than the real thing masked by the light.
The view from up here,
It's now crystal clear:
All saturated,
The colors ghosted,
Everything, except you.
[Chorus]
Jailed in a chromatic dreamscape,
I'd succumbed to this flashy rave,
Dazed, dazed, with no faint-hearted escape.
Then, discoball lights, pointed to
The mirrorball echoes of you.
All I could see through muted hues
Were reflections and shades of you.
[Verse]
Other colors didn't fade.
Yours just struck me in a way
Where everything else eroded
Next to your eye-catching float
In the parade.
No more technicolor lens,
Eyes grown exhausted.
It's all saturated,
The colors ghosted,
Everything, except you.
[Chorus]
Jailed in a chromatic dreamscape,
I'd succumbed to this flashy rave,
Dazed, dazed, with no faint-hearted escape.
Then, discoball lights, pointed to
The mirrorball echoes of you.
All I could see through muted hues
Were reflections and shades of you.
[Bridge]
Now that I see you,
What do I do?
Now that I see you
What do I do?
What do I do
When I only see you?
I only see you.
No more glints or illusory bull.
The rainbow tints' all bleaching through,
But the view's much more colorful
When it's saturated with you.
[Chorus]
Jailed in a chromatic dreamscape,
I'd succumbed to this flashy rave,
Dazed, dazed, with no faint-hearted escape.
Then, discoball lights, pointed to
The mirrorball echoes of you.
All I could see through muted hues
Were reflections and shades of you.
[Outro]
What do I do
When I only see you?
What do I do?
I don't know what to do,
But I only see you.
I can only see you.
