[Intro, Field recording of soft rainfall, Fingerpicked guitar loop, Minimal synth wash]
I’ve held my breath
But I remember
What the sky felt like
When it let go
[Verse 1, Male voice, Tender phrasing over ambient textures and soft percussive loops]
I used to think silence was safety
Held the storm behind my teeth
But memory moves
Even in still air
And hearts — they leak through seams
[Chorus, Trance-like repetition with harmonic layers, Airy synth build]
When it let go
I heard everything
The hush between
And the weightless spin
When it let go
I began again
[Break, Glitchy vocal loop, Lo-fi ambient swell, Guitar harmonics]
(again... again... let go...)
[Verse 2, Spoken-sung blend, Gentle groove with subtle bassline]
It wasn’t thunder, it wasn’t grace
Just the breath I forgot I’d saved
And the sky —
It didn’t ask for permission
It just opened
[Chorus, Expanded chorus with falsetto overlay and airy percussion rise]
When it let go
I didn’t fall
I floated through
The not-knowing at all
When it let go
I heard my name
Unwritten, true
[Instrumental Interlude, Chillwave beat expansion, Warm synth bloom]
(What it felt like...
When you said stay...)
[Verse 3, Whispered melody with low harmony support, Deep ambient textures]
Now I hold less
But I feel more
Like time finally forgave me
And the sky —
It’s not so far
When you learn to lean back
[Final Chorus, Full harmony, Synth arpeggios cascading, Beat thinned to minimal heart pulse]
When it let go
The silence sang
A song I must’ve known
From before my name
When it let go
I wasn’t afraid
[Outro, Guitar loop slowly fades with ambient wind, Soft vocal sample loops]
When it let go…
I remembered how to breathe
