Crytpa

Shades of Sorrow

Stronghold

---

Music

I quite like this song. One of my favourites off the new album. It is so nicely laid out and I enjoy each part. The bridge is nice and chill. I even like the solo; it has a great vibe.

Vocal

I think the vocal works. It goes higher and lower and there is no question who it is. It is unique.

Lyrics

I think this is about staying away from harm, could be overprotective, or could be learned from past injuries. It could be depression keeping you encompassed.

Curled up in the corner of my fortress
A refuge from this overwhelming world
Thick stone walls which no harm can trespass
Behind the curtains, I surrender to nothingness

Stronghold
The walls that keep me safe, imprison me
Stronghold
Memories confine me in my misery
Stronghold
Until reality is a safe place to live
Stronghold
Bonded with fear, my only company
