Backstory:

Polished Depression was born on a winter evening in a small town in northern England. The band was formed by schoolmates, lead singer Andrew “Drew” Marsh and guitarist Liam “Liam” Stokley. Both shared a deep love for music and a dream to express their emotions through it. They named the band ‘Polished Depression’ as a metaphor for their journey of transforming their pain into art. After years of playing in local gigs, they were discovered by a talent scout who was mesmerized by their raw and soul-stirring performances. The addition of drummer Toby “TK” Kenrick and bassist Ethan “E” Lewis took the band’s sound to new heights.

Polished Depression’s music became a beacon of hope for those battling their inner demons. Their inspiring journey from playing in run-down bars to headlining music festivals serves as a testament to their resilience, and their music mirrors the same.

Title:

“Shards of the Past”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am7 G D
Walking through the echoes of my mind,
Am7 G D
Finding pieces of a past left behind.
Am7 G D
In the mirror of memories, I see,
Am7 G D
A version of me, that used to be free.

(Chorus)
C G D
Shards of the past, cutting deep,
C G D
In the night, when the world is asleep.
C G D
Uncover the scars, let them weep,
C G D
In the pain, find the strength to leap.

(Verse 2)
Am7 G D
Underneath the smiles, there’s a fight,
Am7 G D
Battling shadows, in the middle of the night.
Am7 G D
In the fragments of sorrow, I find,
Am7 G D
A resilience that’s one of a kind.

(Chorus)
C G D
Shards of the past, cutting through,
C G D
In the silence, hear the truth ring true.
C G D
Embrace the ache, let it renew,
C G D
In the darkness, find a light that’s new.
