MAI - Ceasefire

Ceasefire is an atmospheric post-metal / depressive post-rock track
focused on emotional distance, fragile calm, and unresolved tension after collapse.

Slow repetitive structures, restrained clean vocals
and a cold, minimalistic atmosphere draw from post-rock, DSBM and post-metal aesthetics.

This song is not about healing or endings,
but about the quiet standstill in between -
when nothing breaks, and nothing truly holds.

For listeners of atmospheric metal, melancholic post-rock
and emotionally driven dark music.

Thank you for listening!

Lyrics:

After the frost
the noise went low.
No victory.
No repair.

Morning light without a verdict,
words laid down, not defended.
We spoke in measured distance,
like strangers sharing the same air.

Nothing burned.
Nothing broke.
And somehow that felt heavier.

This isn’t healing,
it’s a ceasefire in the cold.
We’re standing still on thin ground,
afraid to test what might still hold.

This isn’t healing,
it’s a calm we haven’t earned.
Just waiting in the balance
for the moment weight returns.

Days moved slow but without friction,
familiar rooms, adjusted light.
We learned new rules for old spaces,
careful not to name the shift.

Your voice stayed level.
So did mine.
No echoes now - just distance.

This isn’t healing,
it’s a pause we didn’t choose.
A fragile truce between the ruins,
trying not to move, not to lose.

This isn’t healing,
it’s a line we do not cross.
Holding breath instead of faith,
counting what it costs.

I’ve seen this calm before,
how it steadies, then bends.
Every part of me is watching,
every part still wants to stay.

If this is real,
let it hold without force.
If it breaks,
let it break in its own course.

The ground begins to shift
beneath the weight we never named.

The calm leans sideways,
the balance starts to drift.
I was ready to believe again -
now something underneath resists.

The calm leans sideways,
the balance starts to drift.
I was ready to believe again -
but nothing here is fixed.

The calm leans sideways,
the floor forgets its shape.
I was ready to believe again -
now I wait for what gives way.

This wasn’t healing,
it was holding back the fall.
We stood on ground that learned to bend -
not strong enough, not gone at all.

This wasn’t healing,
just a ceasefire in the cold.
Waiting to see if this calm survives
or folds.

After the frost
we didn’t end.
We didn’t begin.

Just standing still,
feeling the ground,
remember
how to bend.
