[Intro – cinematic synths, rising pads]
In the mirror, I only see a shadow of myself
(Myself)
Oooh
How did I end up here
In a place I don’t even know?
(Know)
Every wall feels empty
Every breath feels cold
(So cold)
This doesn’t feel like home
(No, no)
[Pre‑Chorus – pulsing synths, tension build]
I’m fading in the silence
Lost inside my skin
I hear a voice reminding me
This isn’t how I end
[Chorus – BIG, high-energy, cinematic drop]
In the mirror, I don’t see the real me
I’m not who I was meant to be
(Not who I want to be)
I don’t wanna be a shadow
(No)
It feels so empty
So cold
(So cold)
I don’t wanna stay in a place I don’t know
I gotta find my way
(Ooooh)
My way back home
Been a shadow for far too long
[Verse 2 – rhythmic synth beat, layered vocals]
I’ve been running in circles
Trying not to break
Every step I take feels heavy
Every move feels late
I don’t recognize the face
Staring back at me
But I know there’s something more
Still buried underneath
[Pre‑Chorus 2 – rising tension, vocal harmonies]
I’ve been holding onto fear
Letting time slip by
But something’s burning deep inside
And now it’s time
[Chorus – bigger, cinematic drop, harmonies stacked]
In the mirror, I don’t see the real me
I’m not who I was meant to be
(Not who I want to be)
I don’t wanna be a shadow
(No)
It feels so empty
So cold
(So cold)
I don’t wanna stay in a place I don’t know
I gotta find my way
(Ooooh)
My way back home
Been a shadow for far too long
[Bridge – soft drop, atmospheric pads, emotional]
I’ve been a shadow for so long
I don’t recognize myself anymore
But I know what I gotta do
To become who I was born for
And it starts now
(Right now)
’Cause I’m not staying here
(No)
[Chorus – full cinematic drop, high-energy, harmonies]
In the mirror, I finally see me
I’m closer to who I wanna be
(Don’t wanna be a shadow)
No
The night is breaking
I’m not cold
(Not cold)
I’m leaving this place I don’t know
I finally found my way
(Ooooh)
My way back home
Been a shadow for far too long
[Outro – stripped, cinematic fade]
Oh, I’m going home
(Home)
Oh, I’m going home
(Back home)
Oooh
Been a shadow for far too long
