Lyrics
Felt the cold Atlantic, whispering my name,
But I pressed myself smaller, a shadow in the frame.
Like the tide held captive, a shallow shore I'd kept,
Every 'sorry' felt honest, for the space my spirit swept.
[Chorus]
I'm the full tide breaking, watch the currents turn.
No more shrinking shadows, let my ocean burn.
No whispered 'sorry', for the space I hold.
I'm the full tide rising, stories to unfold.
[Verse 2]
Used to walk these pathways, head bent to the gale,
Making myself smaller, so my presence wouldn't fail.
Like the lichen on the seawall, clinging close and low,
Now the salt on the wind calls, telling me to grow.
[Bridge]
This ain't just a ripple, or a passing, fading light,
It's the roar of the breakers, claiming back the night.
Feel the damp stone tremor, under every stride,
No more hidden currents, nothing left to hide.
[Outro]
Yeah, the sea's sigh echoes, I'm finally free.
A full tide rising, for all the world to see.
About Rhys Sterling
Hailing from the rugged Welsh coast, Rhys Sterling is a balladeer whose piano-driven melodies are as vast and introspective as the Bristol Channel he grew up beside. His raw, confessional lyrics and soaring vocals, reminiscent of Lewis Capaldi and Sam Smith, are a testament to his heart-on-sleeve songwriting, turning personal vulnerabilities into universally felt anthems.
