From the recording Echoes of a Tender Heart
“Alright, Alright” explores the inner struggle of love lost, memory clinging, and promises that faded into silence. With raw honesty and whispered desperation, ÉLYEN takes us through midnight reflections, where the echo of a broken heart is met with quiet hope — and the lingering belief that love, even unspoken, still holds on.
Lyrics
( Verse 1)
Drifting under stars so high,
Wandering beneath the midnight sky.
I’m searching, always chasing,
Trying to save a heart that’s breaking.
In my mind, I question wrong or right,
Lull myself to sleep while holding tight.
I’ve lied, oh, I’ve been deceiving,
Even lied to myself, believing.
(Pre-Chorus)
Every moment, every second, tears fall down,
I’m curled up, praying for a miracle somehow.
Clinging to faith, counting every time,
You held me close, then left me behind.
(Chorus)
You promised me you’d love me, love me,
Burned with desire, but now you’re above me, above me.
I can’t hold you tight,
I don’t say a word tonight.
Baby, you’re mine, alright, alright.
You don’t remember,
You don’t wait forever.
Baby, I’m yours, alright, alright.
(Verse 2)
A distant sound echoes from afar,
Like a cry that mirrors my shattered heart.
Always drawn back to you,
Where the pain still feels so true.
Fading into endless thoughts of you,
Let go, but this love’s too far to pursue.
I want to run away,
But these memories always stay.
(Pre-Chorus)
Every moment, every second, tears fall down,
I’m curled up, praying for a miracle somehow.
Clinging to faith, counting every time,
You held me close, then left me behind.
(Chorus)
You promised me you’d love me, love me,
Burned with desire, but now you’re above me, above me.
You promised me you’d love me, love me,
Burned with desire, but now you’re above me, above me.
I can’t hold you tight,
I don’t say a word tonight.
Baby, you’re mine, alright, alright.
You don’t remember,
You don’t wait forever.
Baby, I’m yours, alright, alright.
(Bridge)
I can’t erase you from my mind,
No matter how I try, love’s hard to find.
And though you’ve gone, I still hear your voice,
I had no choice, no choice.
(Outro)
Baby, you’re mine, alright, alright,
You don’t
remember, baby, alright, alright.
