Halfway Forever - [MR ILYAS] | Dark Pop Anthem  Get lost in the in-between. "Halfway Forever" is a masterful exploration of Dark Pop, dwelling in the space where melancholy and melody collide. The track builds a world of atmospheric synths and pulsing bass, over which haunting vocals explore the paralysis of a situation with no end in sight. It’s a beautifully crafted prison of sound, capturing the pain and peculiar peace of permanent limbo.  For listeners who connect with the emotional depth of Billie Eilish, the atmospheric gloom of Lana Del Rey, and the sharp pop sensibilities of Halsey.  🌀 **Press play and surrender to the standstill.**  💬 **What's your "Halfway Forever"?

00:00You said I made you feel calm, like nothing in the world could hurt

00:18And maybe that's why you stayed not for love, but for the quiet

00:25I still remember that first night, you talked like you'd never been heard

00:32I listened like it was gospel truth, and maybe that was my first mistake

00:39We built a world out of borrowed time, and called it forever just to feel safe

00:47But forever's just a word people say, when they're scared to leave

00:54Before we drifted, I thought you were home

00:58Every heartbeat, every tone, now it's silence

01:04It fills my chest and your ghost that never rested

01:09Before we drifted

01:11I thought love was enough

01:15I felt calm with you, cause nothing else seemed to matter

01:28My worries went quiet, but my love rang out loud

01:32I still remember that first night, not the words I let slip

01:36But the feelings that hit as sharp as our first time kissing

01:40When I said forever, I meant every bit of it

01:43If the words scared you off, maybe you were projecting

01:47Before we drifted, you were my home

01:55In every moment, every storm

01:58But now it's silence that fills my chest

02:02And your ghost that never left before we drifted

02:08I thought love was enough

02:11I thought love was enough

02:14You stopped reaching for my hand, but said I'm just tired

02:25I believed you, I always believed you

02:28I kept pretending you were still here, even when the bed felt colder

02:33Love shouldn't need pretending, but I kept doing it anyway

02:37You said I'll never leave, and you did not all at once

02:41You left piece by piece, like a song fading mid-verse

02:45I still hear your voice in songs I hate

02:47So see your name when it's late

02:48I replay the words we never said

02:51Like ghosts dancing in my head

02:53You taught me love can feel like peace

02:55An end like war

02:56And sometimes silence is the loudest way to hurt

03:00Before we drifted, I thought you were home

03:05Every heartbeat, every tone

03:09Now I drive past where we began

03:13Pretending not to look again

03:16Before we drifted

03:18I thought love was enough

03:22I thought love was enough

03:25A girl with a thousand moods can be exhausting

03:35I was always there when I could

03:37But time alone was me recharging

03:38Do we fault our phones when the battery runs low?

03:41When my energy's gone, I need some time to reload

03:44Did I leave piece by piece, or did you pluck them out one at a time?

03:49Then lost interest once, there were none left to find

03:52I still catch you laughing crowds I pass

03:54Still feel your pull when the day's too fast

03:56I replay the fights we had

03:57Still see your face defeated and sad

03:59You showed me love could spark like fire

04:01Then fizzle out when the fuel runs dry

04:05And sometimes walking away is the kindest cut

04:09Not the silence you imply

04:11Before we drifted, you were my home

04:15Every moment, every sore

04:19Now I drive past where we began

04:22And I do it all over again

04:25Before we drifted

04:27I thought love was enough

04:31I thought love was enough

04:41Now I don't hate you

04:43I don't know you

04:45And maybe that's worse somehow

04:47You were the calm, the storm, the ache

04:50And I'm still learning how to stop looking back

04:55Now I still love you

04:57I remember you

04:59And maybe that's worse somehow

05:01I've lost the calm, the storm is blurred

05:04And I'm still learning how to look forward

05:08Before we drifted, we thought we were strong

05:11But we were just holding on too long

05:15You left, but I stayed behind

05:18Still memorizing what's no longer mine

05:22You stayed, but I moved ahead

05:25No point in chasing what's already dead

05:29Before we drifted

05:32We thought love was enough

05:35We thought love was enough

05:39We thought love was enough

05:43We thought love was enough

05:47We thought love was enough

05:49Ooh
