The reflection of the spirit
Like the sea and the sky
Water alters your perception
You are simply trying to relax
You want to calm the waves
But the storm is approaching
To control the violent winds
That's what your conscience demands
Track 04 · Sunset Gold EP · 2026
Abstraction
A song about the mind that mistakes its own weather for the world's — and the slow practice of returning. You cannot control the wind, but you can surf the waves.

The Story
About this track.
Abstraction is the EP's quiet resolution. After the chain, the game and the fall, this is the song that finally sits down on the shore and watches.
It's a piece about the mind that mistakes its own weather for the world's — about the storms we build in private rooms, and the slow, ordinary practice of returning. You can't control the wind. But you can learn to surf the waves.
Originally written in French as a meditation on introspection, the lyric is half instruction, half lullaby. The lighthouse in the artwork isn't a destination. It's a witness.
"Return to reality."
Lyrics · The Sea, The Sky, The Return
Abstraction, in full.
Free yourself from abstraction
Return to reality
All you need is to regain your vitality
Free yourself from abstraction
Return to reality
There is no room for brutality
You cannot control the weather
But you can surf the waves
Introspection allows you
To bring order to your life
As the rain falls
The storm eventually passes
But you, you remain the same
Don't let your soul drown
Lyrics by Shaun Williams · Creative, Artistic & Music Direction by Shaun Williams, S.D. & Richie Atkinson · © 2026 SWSD Music Production
