Theme
A frozen meditation on regret and redemption. The title references Oscar Wilde's letter 'De Profundis' (from the abyss) and Psalm 130, where the suffering soul cries out to God from the depths. The song feels like an icy storm while exploring emotional imprisonment, yet insists that hope is not fully extinguished—when morning comes, the ice thaws and redemption is possible.
Lyrics
All the things that never gave you peace
Throwing those, but keeping these
All the rights that didn't undo wrongs
Put it back where it belongs
In a palace built of frozen tears
All life is gone
But between the walls of whispering frost
Secrets live on
Every time you feel the wind blow
And a glow within you dies
When tomorrow comes, you will know
That the morning thaws the ice
All the words that never came out right
Within reach, but out of sight
All the songs that couldn't mend your heart
But slit it up and tore apart
See, the palace built of frozen tears
Is your own built prison
And if only love could break these chains
Life could go on
Every time you feel the wind blow
And a glow within you dies
When tomorrow comes, you will know
That the morning thaws the ice
