”Lines I Learned” is an intimate, atmospheric ballad that reflects on holding on to the values and lessons that shaped us, even as the world keeps changing. A journey through memory, resilience, and hope.
In “Lines I Learned,” Carl Hashmi captures the quiet struggle of staying true to oneself in a world that constantly rewrites the rules. With vivid imagery and layered symbolism, the song traces a winding road through shifting landscapes — a metaphor for life’s ever-changing paths. The warm, understated arrangement leaves space for the lyrics to breathe, creating an atmosphere that is both introspective and subtly uplifting. It’s a piece that invites the listener to pause, reflect, and remember the lines they’ve learned before they’re gone.
