The Cause of Shipwreck [BEHIND THE LYRICS]

Zora’s Behind the Lyrics for 'The Cause of Shipwreck'.

Sail with us into darker waters with Zora’s Behind the Lyrics for 'The Cause of Shipwreck'.

This digital booklet (PDF) explores the creation of our first full-length album, a chapter where gothic romance, myth, and the feminine spirit collide. Zora reflects on how women’s strength, vulnerability, and defiance became central to songs like Weakness and Lust, Selkie, and Lilith Be Gone. Each lyric emerged from stories of accusation, transformation, and liberation, of witches, lovers, and sirens reclaiming their voices.

Through introspective notes, historical influences, and glimpses into the writing process, this booklet captures how we began shaping the world of Blackbriar: poetic, mysterious, and deeply human. It’s for every Thorn drawn to the dark beauty of storytelling, empowerment, and emotion.
