About
This neo-soul track pulses with organic live-band grooves, featuring deep live bass grooves that lock into laid-back rhythms alongside warm Rhodes keyboard tones and improvised horn lines that add raw emotional depth. Soulful ad-libs weave through emotive vocals over organic drum feels, creating an intimate space for introspection and empowerment. The production stays true to retro-modern authenticity with minimal processing, evoking the golden era of D'Angelo and Erykah Badu.
Lyrics
Whispers in the mirror, shadows on the wall Echoes of the silence, calling me to fall Into who I am, no more hiding now
Woke up in the fragments of yesterday's disguise Wearing smiles that weren't mine, under neon lies Chasing echoes of voices that weren't my own Heartbeats syncing to rhythms carved in stone Felt the weight of pretending, heavy on my chest Pushing through the fog, searching for the rest Of the soul I buried deep, under layers of fear Now it's rising like the tide, crystal clear
No more chains, no more games Breaking free from the frame Feel the fire in my veins This is me, unashamed
I'm owning every scar, every tear that fell Dancing in the truth where the wild ones dwell Authentic to the bone, let the realness show In this heart of mine, the river starts to flow Oh, I'm alive, I'm alive, in the light of my soul No more faking, no more control Authentic, yeah, that's the fire I hold
Streetlights flicker secrets on the empty road Voices in the crowd, but they carry no load I've been wandering lost in the noise of the fight Trading pieces of me for a temporary light But the mirror don't lie when the makeup fades Reveals the warrior eyes through the masquerade No apologies for the storm in my stride I'm the captain now, turning with the tide
No more chains, no more games Breaking free from the frame Feel the fire in my veins This is me, unashamed
I'm owning every scar, every tear that fell Dancing in the truth where the wild ones dwell Authentic to the bone, let the realness show In this heart of mine, the river starts to flow Oh, I'm alive, I'm alive, in the light of my soul No more faking, no more control Authentic, yeah, that's the fire I hold
And when the world tries to dim this flame I'll rise higher, whisper my own name No masks, no shadows, just the raw and true Soul speaking loud, breaking through
Feel it in the pulse, in the breath I take No turning back, for my own sake
I'm owning every scar, every tear that fell Dancing in the truth where the wild ones dwell Authentic to the bone, let the realness show In this heart of mine, the river starts to flow Oh, I'm alive, I'm alive, in the light of my soul No more faking, no more control Authentic, yeah, that's the fire I hold
Whispers turning to roars, in the dead of night Authentic forever, stepping into the light
Fade into the groove, where the real ones fly
