"Concrete Paradise" by ArtCoffee - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro: Distant city sounds — cars, conversations, footsteps. Soft bass and drum groove fades in.]

[Echoes of voices, faint city ambiance.]

[A distant voice]:

"Everyone’s on their own out here..."

Verse 1

[Main Vocal: Deep and expressive]

In the concrete jungle, where the lights still burn,

Everyone’s chasing something, hoping it’s their turn.

Through endless streets where the trails go cold,

I’m searching for my way, but there’s no road.

[Background harmony]:

(No road... no way out...)

People rush by, forgetting why,

The light in their eyes has long run dry.

The city screams, but I’m stuck in the quiet,

Looking for the fire that keeps me fighting.

Chorus

[Melodic vocals, carrying a sense of longing]

This is my home, my concrete paradise,

Where dreams fade like smoke in the morning skies.

Among gray walls, beneath the heavy rain,

We belong here, but we feel like strangers again.

[Echoing vocals]:

(Feel like strangers... strangers again...)

Verse 2

[Main Vocal: Rhythmic and sharp delivery]

This city’s a stage, every day’s a play,

Where everyone’s acting, hiding their pain away.

Lights in the windows, but the warmth is gone,

We all wear masks to keep moving on.

Shops and stations, crowds at the glass,

Everyone pretending they’re not part of the mass.

But the truth shines through the noise and machines,

I see the emptiness behind their scenes.

Chorus

[Voice gains strength, harmonies build]

This is my home, my concrete paradise,

Where dreams fade like smoke in the morning skies.

Among gray walls, beneath the heavy rain,

We belong here, but we feel like strangers again.

[Background vocals]:

(Fading dreams... fading hope...)

Bridge

[Minimalistic arrangement — soft guitar and light percussion]

But beneath the neon, the ads, and the light,

I see a spark that still feels right.

Maybe beyond these towering walls,

We’ll find something real, something to call home.

[Gradual build-up with swelling instruments]

And though the city pulls, tries to keep us in,

We’ll carve our way, let the light begin.

Final Chorus

[Climactic build — all instruments and vocals come together]

This is my home, my concrete paradise,

Where dreams fade like smoke in the morning skies.

But among these roads, through a thousand faces,

I’ll find my path, where no limit erases.

[Background vocals]:

(Finding my way... finding the light...)

Outro

[Instruments fade out gradually, leaving just faint city noises and a quiet guitar melody.]

(Whispering):

"Hope still lives in the heart of the concrete jungle..."

[City sounds fade to silence.]
