Lyrics
[Style of Music Box: Acoustic indie pop, soulful hip hop, boom bap, aggressive male rap, soulful female gospel choir chorus, raw emotional]
[Intro]
[Melancholic electric piano loop, soft acoustic guitar]
[Male spoken word, conversational, gritty]
Yeah.
I remember thinking, I belong in dirt, when they were burying me.
Through that time, I subconsciously reached for the sun... turns out, I was a seed.
To everyone watching me from the light…
This is your rest.
Listen.
[Transition]
[Piano chords slow down, acoustic guitar strings ring out]
[Slow Full Female Gospel Choir, rich soulful harmony]
I never thought I could,
Forgive and let go for good.
It took a lot of dark times to see,
That I’m not broken,
That you only strengthened me
Wooohohohhoooohwoohhh
[Verse 1]
[The heavy boom-bap drums drop in, but the tempo is slow and dragging. The acoustic guitar is muted and somber.]
[Male Rap Vocals - Raw, emotional, sounding distraught, conversational venting]
Looking back, at the power you had over my mind,
You left it just as bruised as my body that felt like wasn’t mine.
Oh I’d come to find…
I spent years in a corner just shaking with fear,
Panic at your footsteps, wishing I’d disappear.
And the worst part of it all? The part that cuts like a knife?
I started hating myself more than your trespass on my life.
I would stare in the mirror, disgusted with everything there,
Trying to hold my breath, -just let it end-, but just ended up gasping for air.
I hated your face, yeah, I hated the sound of your steps,
The panic of just being, thinking of fleeing, but I never left.
Was just a matter of time, before something shifted inside,
Just a shell of myself, praying every night to die.
But then I grew to love the burning, I fell in love with the scars,
Embracing the hurt, to help me live behind these bars.
And oh my greatest shame…
[Vocal pause, music drops out slightly]
…a monster I became.
[Chorus 1]
[Full Female Gospel Choir Explosion]
[Powerful, sorrowful harmony, pleading melody]
Oh, tiny warrior
Someday you’ll come to see
Even if you don’t understand
There’s a reason behind everything
Just keep your hands raised towards the sun
And never do what was done,
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone as you should
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good
[Verse 2]
[The boom-bap drums pick up a slightly steady cadence, less dragging, moving forward. The strings begin to warm up under the acoustic guitar.]
[Male Rap Vocals - Raw, reflective, transitioning from heavy to resolute]
It was hard growing from the kid that I used to be,
It took a lot of dark days before I could finally see.
Realizing these heavy chains I was carrying came from my own mind,
I was my own prisoner, it was up to me to leave the past behind.
Uh yeah, bend the bars, kick down the door,
I refuse to let your trauma dictate my future anymore.
Yeah, it’s in my hands now. Every single choice I make.
Every breath I draw, every single path I take.
I had to drop the hatred, had to let the anger die,
Because drowning in your poison was a slow-motion suicide.
Look at me now—I survived the worst you could intend,
Finally saw and loved myself when your power over me came to an end.
[Vocal Shift - Conversational, direct, emotional clarity]
And you know what?
I forgive you.
Honestly, sincerely, from all my heart it’s true!
Not because you asked, or even if you care,
But because I need that weight on my chest gone, so I can breathe the air.
…come on!
[Chorus 2]
[Full Female Gospel Choir Explosion]
[Triumphant, soaring harmony, celebratory melody]
Oh, mighty warrior
Look at what you’ve come to see
Your light shining in the valley of shadow
From the darkness you are free
Oh Keep your hands raised towards the sun
And although the fight will never be done,
Go on answering the hatred with a spirit so pure and good
Always give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all, like you should
Do not be overcome by evil, you have overcome evil with good
[Outro]
[The heavy boom-bap drums fade out completely, leaving just the warm acoustic guitar and the soulful "Slippin" electric piano loop.]
[Male Voice - Calm, at peace, fading into the music]
Yeah.
This..
…this self love
Is also for you
And this is my
Requiem for the shadows.
Rest your weary souls.
It's over now.
[Slow Full Female Gospel Choir softly humming the melody into the quiet background]
Amen...
[A single, clean piano chord strikes, then fades into silence]
