Behind The Tracks: Let Shades Do - Lost (Single) (2025)

With LOST, letShadeS unveils the first chapter of a bold and evocative quadrilogy, taken from their upcoming debut EP. A heavy metal track with a deeply introspective core, LOST drags the listener into a psychological maelstrom, where existential discomfort, emotional delirium, and inner decay merge into a vision that is both surreal and disturbingly real.

 

Composed by Alex Under and with lyrics penned by Candice Hellish, the song features a dense and haunting soundscape, built on powerful guitar riffs and an overwhelming rhythmic structure, while the vocal performance adds a dramatic and almost theatrical intensity. The lyrical dimension of LOST explores a descent into darkness, where the protagonist, lost in confusion and bitterness, searches for a light that can bring meaning back to a fragmented identity.

 

The chorus resounds as a desperate cry for salvation: "I get lost in the dark and I’ll die / I’m alone in the dark, light can you help me?" — encapsulating the contrast between the annihilation of the self and the distant hope for transcendence. It's not just a song, but a full immersion into a dystopian consciousness where reason collapses, and the soul becomes a mirror of the black void.

 

LOST is more than a metal song — it is a statement. A sonic and philosophical dive into alienation, resistance, and the perpetual battle between darkness and light.
