[Opening – fragile, trembling piano with distant pads]
Bring me flowers when I’m gone
But not for me
Bring them for the weight you never bore
When I was here
⸻
[Rising Whisper – intimate falsetto, subtle percussion]
Do not speak of memories you never held
Do not call my name as if it’s yours to sell
I watched your silence fill the room
I felt your absence like a wound
Every glance, every fleeting day
Was a shadow you allowed to fade
And now you kneel in hollow grace
Trying to mask what you can’t replace
⸻
[Build – swelling synths, clean guitars, soft distorted undertones]
I do not need your hollow grief
I do not crave your counterfeit relief
If your love never touched my days
Do not pretend now in sorrowed praise
⸻
[Emotional Peak – soaring vocals, layered harmonies, subtle screams]
Bring me your flowers, bring them for your shame
Bring them for the love you never claimed
Do not cry for me, I won’t hear your voice
I lived in silence, now silence is my choice
⸻
[Atmospheric Descent – quiet, off-kilter guitar motifs, whispered vocals]
Do not tell me how you miss my face
When you never sought me in my place
Do not whisper names you never spoke
Do not mend what your absence broke
I am gone, but not yours to hold
Not now, not ever, not bought with gold
Your tears cannot rewrite what passed
Your words are shadows I will not cast
⸻
[Rising Crescendo – drums enter slowly, growing tension, layered falsetto and screams]
Let your guilt weigh heavy in the vase
Let it bloom, let it rot in place
I am not your phantom to regret
I am the life you never met
Bring your flowers—do not speak my name
Bring your flowers—I do not feel your shame
⸻
[Integrated Finale – building, dynamic, heavy, cathartic climax]
[Opening of Finale – swelling ambient pads, tremolo guitars, soft pounding kick]
Bring your flowers—
Let them fall into the weight of your regret
Let them rot where your false words set
[Build – clean + distorted guitars layering, drums intensifying, whispered vocals turning into falsetto]
Do not call my name…
Do not pretend you cared
Do not cry for me now
When you never were there
[Rising Climax – full band, polyrhythmic drums, galloping riffs, layered screams]
I am gone…
I am gone…
I am gone…
And your hollow grief cannot reach me
Every chain you thought you held
Every word you never said
I burn them now…
I burn them all…
[Catastrophic Peak – blast beats, distorted guitars, screams, orchestral pads]
Bring your flowers—
I will not bend for your shame
Bring your flowers—
I will not speak your name
I am free from all the lies
From all the absent eyes
From every chain you never saw
I rise…
I rise…
I rise…
[Outro – heavy guitars fading into ambient decay, whispered final line]
I am gone…
And nothing you say will ever touch me now.
[Music pauses]
AHHHH!
[Emotional heavy metal resumes]
[emotional musical interlude]
Ohhh…
Save your flowers,
for another day
Ohhh…
Save your flowers,
For another…
DAYYYYY!
Atlantica
