"Towers"

[Intro] (Sound of vinyl crackle and a deep, slow heartbeat bass) (Soft Rhodes piano chords enter, warm and hazy) (Whispered close to mic) Shhh... Let the blueprint twist and turn. [Verse 1] (Sung in English, melancholic and precise) I drew my plans in steel and stone Built towers tall with rules my own But every line I etched with care Now trembles in the open air The map I made is tearing through And something wild is shining through A love too wide for old design A spark that doesn’t fit the line... [Verse 2] (Switch to French, lighter, playful but intimate) (Drums enter with a soft brushed groove) Elle est venue sans prévenir Un rire doux, un doux délire Pas de prophétie, pas de serment Juste un clin d’œil dans le moment Un rire lancé par les étoiles Un “et si...” glissé sous le voile Elle tourne le monde, me prend la main Et soudain... tout semble bien. [Chorus] (Bilingual Interplay - Voices layering over each other) (English) Let it fall, let it burn (French) Laisse tomber, laisse brûler (English) Not all flames obey the frame (French) Certains chuchotent juste... ton pas (Together - Harmonies) We build a fire with stolen wood Not perfect—but it feels like good. [Verse 3] (The Wall - Split Vocals) (Music strips back to just bass and kick drum) (English) Between us lies the Donjon gray Where both were locked in lives away Two towers tall, two minds confined... (French - whispering urgently) Mais à travers la pierre, un son Un doigt qui frappe, une vibration (English) We can’t break free with will alone— (French) Mais on sait qu’on est deux, déjà. [Bridge] (The Covenant - Full French, warm and swelling) (Swelling pads and soft synth textures) Le foyer nous a souvent oubliés Mais nous avons appris à aimer Les flammes nées hors des cercles saints Les refuges dans les creux humains (Voice breaks slightly, very emotional) Je suis ton abri, quand tout s’est tu. [Outro] (Slow fade, returning to the vinyl crackle) (Alternating whispers) Just two souls beneath the stars... Deux exilés sous les étoiles... Holding light for all we are... Gardant la flamme... (Fade to silence) Shhh.
