Wild and free

(Intro – Slow Build, Dark Bass & Echoing Slide Guitar)

(Distorted bassline slowly fades in, a melancholic slide guitar sneaks through, drums pulse softly in the background, deep reverb creates a sense of vastness.)

(Verse 1 – Whispered, Intimate, Reverb-Drenched Guitar & Deep 808 Bass)

I was born where the sky runs endless,

where the wind cuts like a knife.

The dirt beneath me never held me,

I was just a shadow, slipping by.

They said the road was already chosen,

freedom’s just a painted dream.

But I heard the voices call me over,

low and haunting in the breeze.

(Chorus – Heavy Kick, Distorted Bass & Layered Vocals)

I belong to no one, I follow the wind,

the storm knows my name, the dark is my twin.

You can break my body, bend my bones,

but I won’t be me no more.

(Verse 2 – Darker, More Aggressive, Punchy Beat & Dirty Blues Guitar)

They came with gold and iron chains,

smiling through their sharpened teeth.

Said they’d keep me warm and safe,

but I saw the cage beneath.

I learned the law of the wild and restless,

written deep in blood and stone.

I only bow to the pull of the distance,

never hands that try to own.

(Break – Instrumental, Heavy Distorted Guitar Solo & Slow Pulse of Drums)

(Guitars wail and cry, the bass growls deep, the drums push forward with a slow, almost menacing pulse.)

(Verse 3 – Growing Momentum, Thumping Bass & Hollow, Distant Vocals)

I watched them trade the sky for silence,

locked inside their own regret.

Sold their wings for comfort’s promise,

never saw the sun turn red.

But I still hear the wild ones singing,

low and broken in the dark.

Their echoes burn inside my veins,

like embers clinging to the spark.

(Verse 4 – Melancholic, Darker Tone – Slide Guitar & Faint Organ in the Distance)

There’s a price for running weightless,

you pay in scars and dust.

But I take the cold, the fear, the hunger,

‘cause nothing kills like trust.

I carry the sky upon my shoulders,

the open road’s my only home.

They wait in shadows, eyes like knives,

but I ain’t ready to go.

(Chorus – Stronger, Choir-Like Echoes, Distorted Guitar Swells In & Out)

I belong to no one, I follow the wind,

the storm knows my name, the dark is my twin.

You can break my body, bend my bones,

but I won’t be me no more.

(Verse 5 – Soft, Fading – Acoustic Guitar & Faint Percussion, Echoing Vocals)

One day my footprints will vanish,

the rain will wash me away.

But if you listen where the wind runs wild,

you’ll still hear me call your name.

(Outro – Drawn-Out, Hollow Slide Guitar, Faint Echoes of the Chorus, Distant Drumbeats Fading Out)

(The final notes of the guitar echo into the emptiness, as the bass slowly fades – like the last trace of a wandering soul, carried away by the wind.)
