Elfida

[Opening]
I feel lost...
In a world too loud to hear me.
Too fast to see me.
I was just a child with colours in my hands...
Now I wake in black and white.
I had dreams once.
Dreams of painting skies with truth,
Of singing love into broken spaces
Of being free...
But they told me to be realistic.
To grow up. To fit in.
Now every day looks like the one before,
No spark. No fire. Just… grey.


[Verse 1]
You can numb yourself with your habits,
Scroll your soul outta shape, it’s tragic.
Excuses like armour, distractions like chains,
Chasing dopamine in digital veins.
Wake up, work, consume, repeat,
Another week lost in your own two feet.
You ain’t felt your heart in years,
You just drown your doubts in fears.
You call it life... but are you alive?
Just breathing in lies, trying to survive.
This ain't living, this is sedation.
A silent scream in a deadened nation.


[Verse 2]
They gave me a name, before I had a voice.
Taught me to obey, and called it a choice.
Told me what love is, what success should be,
Wrote my script before I could see.
Church said kneel, school said rank,
Society said hustle or sleep on a plank.
Culture said shrink, media said buy,
And no one ever said "ask why?"
I wore the mask, I played the part,
But no one saw the war in my heart.
Behind the smile, the silent cry,
"Is this the truth… or just a lie?"


[Verse 3]
Among billions of souls, no one sees me whole.
I’m just reflections in others’ control.
There’s joy in silence, peace in the ache,
A kind of freedom in every heartache.
My loneliness is liberty.
A space where I can be.
Anyone, anything, a poet, a king,
Or just someone... loved for existing.
Why all this drama? Why the rage?
Why lock each other in emotional cages?
Why can’t we talk, really talk, and cry?
If we can't open our hearts… who are we, and why?


[Verse 4]
They put you to sleep with prescriptions,
Label your pain as conditions.
If your will ain't strong, they break your mind,
Call you “unstable” when you're one of a kind.
You think you're free?
You’re not even close.
You're locked in beliefs you didn’t choose,
Ghosts of rules that still impose.
Victim of culture, of class, of creed,
Of inherited wounds you never agreed.
But here's the twist, the secret truth:
They can't enslave your inner youth.


[Verse 5]
So wake up, warrior.
It’s time to see,
The prison ain't outside,
It's in you and me.
Stop blaming, shaming, drowning in fear.
Start facing the silence you run from, dear.
You’re not too broken, not too late,
Your soul is louder than your fate.
We gotta feel the pain, not numb it.
Speak the truth, not hum it.
No more victim tales that loop.
We rise, even if we stoop.


[Final Verse]
They told me I’m broken, but I ain’t glass.
Just cracked by a world that moves too fast.
But cracks let the light bleed through,
And I found something deep, something true.
I burned the script. I broke the chains.
I danced in the fire of all my pains.
Not for revenge, but resurrection.
I chose truth, not their protection.
No more hiding, no more shame,
I rise from fire, I rise through flame.
From numb to real, from lost to whole,
From fractured mind to sovereign soul.


[Final Chorus]
I broke the lock. I broke the wall.
I found the love beneath it all.
Not from the world, it lives in me,
And now I feel what it means to be free.
For all the lost, for every fall,
This is the anthem of the Unity of All.
We cry, we rise, we learn to call,
Our suffering brothers, our sisters, all.
Let’s heal the wounds, let's break the mould,
Let’s write a new story, fierce and bold.
No more silence. No more stall.
This is our time. This is our call.

Outro
"Break the cage, find the key.
The love you seek is inside of we."
 

(Verse 1)
I used to feel the world in colour...
Now it’s grayscale, every damn hour.
Smiles feel fake, convos dry,
I laugh out loud, but I’m empty inside.

Wake, scroll, post a quote,
Put on the vibe, rehearse the notes.
Play the role, don’t let 'em see,
This version of me... ain't really me.

I used to dream big, remember that?
Now I'm too tired just to get outta bed.
Nothing excites me like it used to do,
Even love feels like déjà vu.

Is this the life that they said I'd love?
Is this what it means to be “grown-up”?
They never taught me how to feel,
Only to hide it, and call it “real.”

(Chorus )
Is this it? Is this all I’m meant to be?
Just scrolling through days I can barely see?
Fakin' fine, but I’m lost inside,
Starin’ at the world with a frozen mind.
Tell me...

Is this it? Is this all I get to learn?
Is there a way that I can crash and burn,
And still rise, rebuild, and redefine
A life that fits this soul of mine?

(Verse 2)
Yeah, I envy people who smile with ease,
Who talk with depth, who live in peace.
But part of me hates them too,
Like how dare they feel what I can't do?

I judge 'cause I’m jealous, that’s the truth.
A mirror to my own uncured wounds.
They say, “Just open up,” but to who?
When I barely know what I’m goin’ through.

I crave connection, but I shut it down,
Buildin’ walls in a ghosted town.
No one knows how loud it gets
In the silence of my own regrets.

Conversations feel like scripts,
Small talk covers apocalypse.
I want someone to hear my pain,
Not fix it, just sit in the rain.

(Bridge)
I’m tired of livin' in the in-between.
Numb from the screens, divorced from dreams.
Where’s the joy? Where’s the flame?
I forgot why I even came.

Can you restart when you don’t know how?
Can you heal when you’re breakin’ now?
What’s on the other side of this mask?
Who am I, if I dare to ask?

(Final Chorus)
Is this it? Or is there something more?
A key I lost, behind a locked door?
Is there space for me to breathe, to try,
To live before the day I die?

Is this it? Or am I just afraid,
To let go of the mess I’ve made?
Can I still rewrite, redefine,
A story that finally feels like mine?

Outro
So here I stand — not whole, not broken,
just a heart with words unspoken.
Not needing answers, just a sign,
that maybe…
there’s still more of me to find.

I had a dream when the sky was wide,
And the world felt small from the other side.
I was paintin’ stars with my bare hands,
Singin’ songs love could understand.
But the colors bled into black and gray,
And time took the laughter clean away.

Now I wake where the clocks all moan,
And each day feels like a replica stone.
I wear a name that don’t sound like me,
Walk through hours that I barely see.
Where did the artist in me go?
Buried beneath the office glow?

(Chorus)
I had a dream, it lived in me,
Like a bird too wild for certainty.
Now I’m just a ghost in a tailored shirt,
Smilin’ through this quiet hurt.
But I still remember that sacred flame,
Love without reason, joy without name.

Where are the canvases drenched in hue?
Now it’s all static in shades of blue.
Once I sang of hearts like oceans deep,
Now I whisper to the walls in sleep.
There’s a fire that warms, there’s a fire that burns,
And both are love in their twisted turns.

Love that breaks and love that builds,
That robs you clean and leaves you filled.
A breeze on a summer's tired brow,
Or a match that lights a sacred vow.
But tell me, where’s the beat of my chest?
I’ve traded truth for a suit and rest.

(Bridge)
Don’t tell me dreams are just for youth.
That’s a lie folks tell when they fear the truth.
I still believe in songs unsung,
And the sacred ache of being young.

(Final Chorus)
I had a dream, and it’s not quite dead,
It’s just hidin’ out in the back of my head.
And maybe one night when the silence is right,
I’ll find it again in the pulse of the night.
I’ll paint the sky with what I feel,
And write the love that makes it real.

There’s a thousand faces in the crowd tonight,
But none of ‘em know my kind of light.
They see the grin, they hear the laugh,
But don’t see the ghost in the photograph.
I’ve walked through noise to reach the still,
Where thinkin’ of you bends time to my will.

There's a joy in the hush where no one speaks,
A grace in the cracks where the lost one leaks.
And my loneliness is a kingdom wide,
Where I wear no mask and I do not hide.
I can be a shadow, I can be a flame,
Someone to you, not just a name.

(Chorus)
Why is love a war we lose to pride?
Why can’t we just lay the swords aside?
If hearts were doors we dared to unlock,
We’d have less pain and more pillow talk.
But we hold our truths like guarded art,
And forget the map is the human heart.

You say you’re tired, I know that sound,
Like autumn leaves fallin’ without a ground.
I’ve wept in rooms where no one saw,
Fought silent wars with trembling law.
I’ve died in dreams and woke in rain,
Each time reborn through joy and pain.

And then you came, like some old hymn,
Played on a jukebox soft and dim.
There’s peace in your eyes, like sacred sleep,
But your absence carves my silence deep.
Every road I take bends like a tune,
And I’m always walkin’ toward the moon,
Where maybe, just maybe, you wait too soon.

(Bridge)
Can we speak without defense and fear?
Without the weight of yesteryear?
Can we meet where the soul stands bare,
With nothin’ to lose and everything there?

(Final Chorus)
‘Cause if we can’t love, what are we for?
Just echoes knockin’ on a hollow door?
I’d trade all rhyme for one true word,
A truth that trembles when it’s heard.
I am someone, anyone, just for you.
A mirror breakin’ into somethin’ true.

How many wars will we need to lose
Before we see there’s nothin’ to choose?
The winners are cryin’, the losers are gone,
The children are singin’ the same old song.
That no one’s free when one soul breaks,
And every silence is a step we forsake.

(Chorus)
Blow, wind, blow through the fire and smoke,
Whisper the truth that the proud men choke.
There’s no gold in the guns, no peace in the prize,
We’re born with the answer behind our eyes.

How many hearts must break in the street
Till we trade our fear for somethin’ sweet?
The faces all change, the stories repeat,
But the lesson lies underneath our feet.
We’ve paved over pain with concrete laws,
Built our towers but forgot the cause.

(Chorus)
Blow, wind, blow through the profit and shame,
Tear down the lies dressed up in fame.
There’s no freedom in takin’ more than you need,
And no justice in a world where love don’t lead.

How many seasons need to roll on by
Before we look up and question why?
The trees keep changin’, the rivers still run,
But we act like we’re standin’ under one sun.
Change is comin’ like the tide at night,
You can run from the dark, but you can't stop light.

(Bridge)
Oh, the answer ain’t found in a flag or crown,
It’s the way you lift a brother when he’s down.
The map don’t matter, the name don’t stay.
But the heart keeps beatin’ the same old way.

(Final Chorus)
Blow wind, blow through the hearts of men,
Remind us of where we all began.
One breath, one sky, one holy chance,
To live this life as a sacred dance.

Verse 1

You take my breath away,
Like diving deep into the unknown.
Holding my breath, eyes wide open,
Lost in a world I’ve never known.

I should come up, but I don’t want to,
I let the beauty pull me in.
Just like your touch, just like your kiss,
I never want this to end.

Chorus

You take my breath away,
Oh, and I love it.
You stole my heart,
Then gave it back as paradise.
You take my breath away,
But then you give me reason to breathe.
You are my reason,
You are my light.

Verse 2

Your lips taste like honey,
Sweet, slow, dripping in gold.
You pull me closer,
And suddenly I’m losing control.

Every sense is calling for you,
I can feel it deep inside.
Shivers climbing up my spine,
Just by the thought of you tonight.

Bridge (Playful & Harmonious)

You make me feel alive,
Like I’m dancing in the sky.
I wanna breathe you in,
Hold you close, never say goodbye.

You make me feel like goodness,
You make me feel divine.
I’m not just in love with you,
You’ve got me hypnotized.

Chorus (Repeat)

You take my breath away,
Oh, and I love it.
You stole my heart,
Then gave it back as paradise.
You take my breath away,
But then you give me reason to breathe.
You are my reason,
You are my light.

Outro (Soft & Sweet)

You take my breath away,
But with you, I’m truly alive.

Verse 1

I see you grow, day by day,
Into someone so beautifully free.
I see myself inside your eyes,
But you are more than me.

You are the best of what I dreamed,
A love so pure, so bright.
Like a whisper of the universe,
You turn my darkness into light.

Chorus

You are the sunshine after the storm,
The brightest star when nights are cold.
Your laughter melts the hardest days,
You are the story yet untold.
Oh, my love, my little one,
You are my heart, you are my light.

Verse 2

Your tiny hands, your endless dreams,
A world so new, so wide.
I hold you close, but you teach me,
What it means to truly fly.

I never knew love like this before,
A bond no time can break.
You are the song inside my soul,
A melody I’ll always play.

Chorus (Repeat)

You are the sunshine after the storm,
The brightest star when nights are cold.
Your laughter melts the hardest days,
You are the story yet untold.
Oh, my love, my little one,
You are my heart, you are my light.

Bridge (Soft & Intimate)

One day you'll chase your own sunrise,
And I’ll stand right here and cheer.
No matter where this life may take you,
My love will always be near.

Outro (Tender & Gentle)

I see you grow, day by day,
Into someone so beautifully free.
And as you spread your wings to fly,
You’ll always be a part of me.

Verse 1 (Soft, ethereal intro, whispers in the background)

We don’t know what we don’t know,
A spiral turning, a seed that grows.
Womb of creation, infinite light,
Pregnant with stars, birthing the night.

Mirrors in mirrors, dreams in dreams,
You are the dreamer, the one who sees.
Falling deeper into the flow,
Where does it end? Where does it go?

Drop 1 (Beat builds, hypnotic synths swell in waves)

(You...)
You are the sound and the silence,
The pulse of the void, the rhythm of time.
You are the echo, the infinite mind,
The formless dancer in patterns aligned.

Verse 2 (Deeper bass, pulsing rhythm, trance-like flow)

Objectifying the self, dissolving the name,
Peeling back layers, releasing the frame.
A continuous unfolding, an endless embrace,
Everything shifting, yet all stays in place.

Behind the illusion, beyond the divide,
A current of oneness, a river inside.
Interconnected, reflections collide,
The same universal truth in different guides.

Chorus (Expansive, soaring synths, uplifting beat drop)

You...
You are the observer, the observed,
And the space in which it all occurs.
You are the wave and the ocean wide,
A thought in the dream of the cosmic mind.

Bridge (Deep, spoken word, atmospheric synths, floating pads)

Everything is everything...
It was never apart.
Time is a spiral,
Love is the art.

Drop 2 (Euphoric peak, transcendent melody, driving bassline)

You are the dream...
(Within the dream...)
You are the dream...
(Within the dream...)
Let go, dissolve, be free,
You were always infinity.

Outro (Soft fading echoes, celestial pads, whispers return)

We don’t know what we don’t know...
Until we become what we seek to know.
Floating... turning... falling... being.
All that you are... has always been.
