Second Decade by NickovanHyper - Zona

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro – cinematic ambient pads, rising tension, deep reverb kick, reversed vocal textures swelling in]

(soft breathy hum, distant vocal runs)

Ahhh-ohh... (echo: ohh...)

Mmm-yeah...

[Verse 1]

I’m turning twenty-one this year

Two decades in and now it’s clear

Every ten has its own face

Its own war, its own grace

The mirror shows me who I’ve been

But deeper down, there’s more within

The light and dark are eye to eye

Both of them want to live, but only one survives

[Pre-Chorus – tension build, airy lift, vocal rise at end]

Ooooooh, I’m rising up into the night

Ooooooh, the silence breaking into flight

I hear the echo in my chest

It’s louder than the rest

My evil self is close, I know

But I won't let him take control

I’m lifting off, the winds collide

This is the battle for my life

[Chorus – euphoric drop, floating vocals with layered harmonies and reverb]

This is my second decade

I’m weightless in the flame

The world is spinning faster

But I’m not playing the same

The sky is pulling higher

I’m dancing through the fire

No fear in my design

I was born to realign

This is my second decade

Let heaven hear my name

The shadows tried to claim me

But I broke out of the chain

Now I’m the storm in motion

Alive inside the ocean

I’m floating, I’m ascending

And this is just beginning

[Verse 2]

My demons whisper, smooth and slow

“You need me more than you let show”

But I’ve seen love and I’ve seen light

Enough to stand, enough to fight

He smiles with all the weight I’ve lost

But I won’t pay that kind of cost

The good in me has bled too long

It’s time I give it back its song

[Pre-Chorus 2 – full harmony, breathy rise]

Ooooooh, I feel the fire in my breath

Ooooooh, I’m walking through this life and death

Each heartbeat is a battlefield

But I decide which side is real

Let the wind break through my past

This decade’s mine, I’ll make it last

My hands are light, my pulse is wild

I’m flying forward, undefiled

[Final Chorus – peak energy, full drop]

This is my second decade

And I am not the same

I’ve battled through the silence

And risen through the pain

My heart is now the captain

No fear, no more distractions

The war inside has burned away

And I’m alive today

This is my second decade

My soul begins to soar

No chains can hold me captive

I’m everything and more

So let the heavens open

The new me has awoken

I’m floating, I’m ascending

And this is just beginning

[Outro – final breath, harmony fade, soft vocal run]

Ahhh-ohhh

I’m ascending...
