Frozen Lake


Artist: Ink & Echoes

Time Signature: 4/4
Artist's Description
"Frozen Lake" is a high-concept piece of Gothic Bluegrass, Dark Americana and Appalachian Noir. Lyrically, it plays out like a haunting gothic short story—beginning with an intimate memory of young love, transitioning through devastating loss, and culminating in a chilling encounter with a silhouette in the snow.
The song is written for a female vocalist with a ghostly, floating, deeply emotional presence in the vein of Gillian Welch or Alison Krauss. The instrumentation uses the organic textures of metallic banjo and mournful fiddle to evoke the physical sensation of a frozen winter night. Perfect for roots artists, alt-country projects, or film/television sync licensing looking for a track with emotional gravitas and unforgettable narrative tension.

[Verse 1]
“Wanna see a special place,” you said
When I still didn’t know you at all
“A place where space hangs still
And time never folds
It’s in the woods not far from here
But only a few know about it
I’d say you’re the one to understand it
And see the secret behind it”

[Verse 2]
I was afraid of darkness
But I said I love it, because of you
The way you knew your path
Everything about you rang true
The warmth of your breath bathed me
When you pulled me close
The scent of your skin soothed me
Where I buried my nose

[Pre-Chorus]
Couldn’t do anything to stop it
The universe took you away from me
Now everything’s just an empty boat
Sailing driftless on a dead sea

[Chorus]
You’re on the other side of space, the other side of time
Come winter I go there and listen to the frozen boughs’ chime
There’s nothing left to gain, nothing left to take
Everything thrown to die down in our frozen lake

[Bridge]
Last night there, in a dead silence
I saw footprints in the snow
My heart skipped a beat, and then another
In my ears, thunder started to roar
I saw an outline of a figure on the other side
‘Neath that tree where we carved our names
I wanted to run, but couldn’t move a finger
I wanted to scream, but my lungs turned to flames
The silhouette gazed at me for a while
Then waved its hand goodbye and walked away
For a long time I stood there frozen
Afraid if I moved, I’d awake
I followed those footprints under the stars
Till they just stopped and disappeared
There in the meadow amidst the tall oaks
I stood wishing I could weep

[Chorus]
You’re on the other side of space, the other side of time
Come winter I go there and listen to the frozen boughs’ chime
There’s nothing left to gain, nothing left to take
Everything thrown to die down in our frozen lake

[Coda]
I found you last night, thought my heart was gonna break
Of losing you again at our frozen lake
Next time I won’t hesitate, I’ll take whatever’s there to take
When I meet you again at our frozen lake

I will walk with you again
At our frozen lake
