Sea Shapes – Reaper

"Reaper" by Sea Shapes: dark melodies that get to the core

"Reaper" by Sea Shapes is a mod­ern dark wave track that is both dark and ener­get­ic. The song invites you to dance and cap­tiv­ates with its catchy melody. Lyrically, “Reaper” deals with the pain­ful betray­al of a best friend, which is impress­ively expressed in lines like “Sold me out, you feel no pain”.

The track achieves an impress­ive bal­ance between dark­ness and light­ness, mak­ing it pleas­antly access­ible des­pite its ser­i­ous sub­ject mat­ter. Comparisons with vir­al TikTok hits like "Судно (Борис Рижий)" by "Molchat Doma" or "I Like The Way You Kiss Me" by "Artemas" are not inap­pro­pri­ate – "Reaper" has the poten­tial to achieve a sim­il­ar reach.

Musically, "Reaper" impresses with driv­ing beats and a mod­ern pro­duc­tion that brings the dark wave sound into the present. A con­struct­ive note: an even more strik­ing chor­us could fur­ther increase the song's recog­ni­tion value.

Lyrics of "Sea Shapes – Reaper"

Lungs black, just like your heart
Your brain stays hazed, cant see through the fog
Past times were great, no future now
The smoke burns with­in, you cheat on god.

Take more, take more from your friends
Take me for a fool again
Hurt us in your twis­ted game
Sold me out, you feel no pain.

I like (Take)
When you smile (Take)

I look back, the days go slow.
You showed some hope, found some hands to hold
She hopes one day, you'll take it slow
Untill then, you reap what you sow.

She hopes one day, you'll take it slow
Untill then, you reap what you sow.
