Midnight Skyline - Lagos · Fading Echoes

She walks the familiar streets of Lagos, remembering a love that slipped away as the tide pulled her farther from shore. The city’s sounds and smells swirl around her, yet she clings to the memory of a whispered promise while wondering if she will stay or set out for new horizons. Rain on Eko Bridge, voice trembling still I trace the steps we used to wander Balogun stalls whisper faded laughter Neon signs flicker, but my mind stalls Night air smells of fried plantains Heart beats slow, caught in the tide When the tide pulls me far from shore I hold onto the echo of your whisper The city hums, but I’m losing ground Your silhouette fades in Lagos dusk I sit on Victoria Island’s edge Waves crash, matching thoughts of goodbye A taxi horn blares distant regrets I sip tea, taste bitter sweet memories The lagoon mirrors my fractured resolve When the tide pulls me far from shore I hold onto the echo of your whisper The city hums, but I’m losing ground Your silhouette fades in Lagos dusk Maybe tomorrow I’ll find new tides Or walk away from Lagos forever Morning mist lifts, I breathe again --- About this work This song and its album art were made using a custom AI pipeline.
