After The Lights Fade

🌧️ Intro (All – soft, whispered)

(Seulgi + Wendy)

조용히… don’t speak yet…

(Red + Velvet line blend)

We were here… weren’t we?

⸻

💔 Verse 1 (Wendy – main vocal, emotional lead)

불 꺼진 stage 위에

너의 그림자만 남아

I still hear your voice

but it fades away

(Seulgi ad-lib: “fade… fade away…”)

⸻

🌙 Verse 1 (Irene – calm, reflective tone)

웃고 있던 우리 사진

지금은 너무 멀어진 scene

I don’t know where we went

but I still feel it in between

⸻

🌧️ Pre-Chorus (Joy – bright but breaking)

웃으면서 시작했는데

왜 이렇게 아픈지

Hold my hand, don’t let go

but you already did

(Joy ad-lib: “don’t let go… don’t let go…”)

⸻

💔 Chorus (All – harmony explosion)

After the lights fade

우린 어디로 가

Still calling your name

but you don’t reply

After the lights fade

I’m still here in the rain

너를 놓지 못해

but it’s never the same 💔

(Wendy high note layered)

(Seulgi harmony underneath)

⸻

🌙 Verse 2 (Seulgi – emotional, rhythmic delivery)

걸음이 멈춘 거리

네 흔적만 남아있지

I reach out in the dark

but you slip away from me

(Seulgi ad-lib: “away… away…”)

⸻

💔 Verse 2 (Yeri – softer, younger perspective)

괜찮은 척 웃었는데

사실 난 아직 여기

너 없는 이 공간은

너무 조용해지지

⸻

🌧️ Pre-Chorus 2 (Duet: Wendy + Joy)

(Wendy) 다시 돌아와 줄까

(Joy) 아니면 끝난 걸까

(Both) we don’t know anymore

but it hurts more and more

⸻

💔 Chorus (All – bigger, layered vocals)

After the lights fade

우린 어디로 가

Still calling your name

but you don’t reply

After the lights fade

I’m still here in the rain

너를 놓지 못해

but it’s never the same 💔

(All ad-libs overlapping: “fade… fade… don’t go… don’t go…”)

⸻

🌙 Bridge (Wendy + Seulgi duo focus)

(Wendy)

If I close my eyes again

will you come back like then?

(Seulgi)

We were brighter than the sun

but now we’re undone

(Together soft harmony)

끝나버린 our story line

still replaying in my mind

⸻

💔 Final Chorus (FULL GROUP – emotional climax)

After the lights fade

우린 어디로 가

Still calling your name

but you don’t reply

After the lights fade

I’m still here in the rain

너를 놓지 못해

but it’s never the same 💔

(Wendy high note climax 🎤)

(Joy + Yeri harmonies)

(Seulgi ad-libs floating underneath)

(Irene soft anchor line: “never the same…”)

⸻

🌧️ Outro (All – fading whispers)

조용히…

After the lights fade…

you’re gone… ✨
