[Intro – airy, ambient synths + soft plucked piano]
Mm…
Grow…
Just grow…
[soft electronic pads swell, gentle arpeggiated synth in the background]
[Verse 1 – soft beat enters, 80 BPM, electronic percussion subtle]
I found you small beneath the stone,
A fragile green, all on your own.
No sunlight reaching where you lay,
Still you were reaching anyway.
I didn’t know what you could be,
Just something quiet calling me.
So I stayed close, I knelt down low,
And whispered words you couldn’t know.
[Pre-Chorus – pads swell, light sidechain to kick drum]
No one taught you how to reach the light…
Still you tried… still you tried…
[Chorus 1 – full modern beat, atmospheric synths, vocal layering]
Grow, my little myrtle tree,
Stretch your branches wild and free.
Even if the sky won’t stay,
Even if the light fades grey.
Grow, my little myrtle tree,
You don’t need their sympathy.
Root yourself in what you see —
There’s still life in you and me.
[Instrumental break – airy synth + soft glitchy plucks, 4 bars, echoing “grow… grow… slowly…”]
[Post-Chorus 1 – glitchy vocal stutters + airy pads]
Grow… gr-gr-grow…
Slowly… slo-slo-slowly…
Grow… grow…
You’re not lonely…
[Verse 2 – beat softens, synths shimmer]
The wind was harsh, the ground was dry,
I saw the fear you couldn’t hide.
Leaves would tremble, bend, and break,
Still you held on through the ache.
I almost thought you wouldn’t stay,
That you would simply fade away…
But something stubborn in your green
Refused to leave, refused to leave.
[Pre-Chorus – rising tension in pads, airy hi-hats]
No one showed you how to survive the cold…
Still you grew… still you grew…
[Chorus 2 – same, fuller electronic production]
Grow, my little myrtle tree,
Stretch your branches wild and free.
Even if the sky won’t stay,
Even if the light fades grey.
Grow, my little myrtle tree,
You don’t need their sympathy.
Root yourself in what you see —
There’s still life in you and me.
[Instrumental break – 6 bars, synth arpeggios + subtle glitchy textures, echoing vocal phrases (“stay… stay…”)]
[Post-Chorus 2 – glitchy vocal stutter, echoing, layered pads]
Grow… gr-gr-grow…
Don’t let go… don’t let go…
Grow… grow…
Even slow…
[Bridge – atmospheric, emotional drop, sparse beats]
If the storm comes, I’ll stay near,
You won’t face it all in fear.
If the night forgets your name,
I’ll remind you just the same.
You’re not weak for bending low,
Every scar is proof you grow…
[Final Chorus – big, cinematic modern production]
Grow, my little myrtle tree,
Break the ground and let it see.
Even if the past still stays,
You can bloom in different ways.
Grow, my little myrtle tree,
There’s more strength than you believe.
Rooted deep, you’ll always be
More alive than memory.
[Instrumental build – airy synth swell + soft glitch textures, 8 bars, rising into final chorus]
[Post-Chorus / Outro – stripped, glitchy vocals + ambient pads fading out]
Grow… gr-gr-grow…
My little myrtle tree…
Grow… stay with me…
Fade… fade away…
Dayzzz
