--------------------------------------------------- The German song : https://suno.com/s/4p2qSc8dzgGTr1Ka --------------------------------------------------- [Intro: lonely dark piano, low cello, cold synth pulse slowly emerging] [Verse 1: close low male baritone, exhausted and restrained] You stand inside a tunnel there is a light somewhere ahead you run until your lungs are burning but it never gets closer You tell yourself to keep moving one more step, one more night but every road feels endless and every shadow steals the light [Pre-Chorus: darkwave bass enters, drums begin to build] What do you want me to tell you? That I am doing fine? That I can hide the cracks and smile one more time? [Chorus: wider clean baritone, strong but controlled] Depression is not just a word not something you can brush away not just a cloud above my head not just another darker day Depression is not just a word it lives where nobody can see I can smile and still be drowning while you think that smile is me [Verse 2: cello answers the vocal, guitars slowly enter] What do you want me to tell you? That everything is alright? That I should make it beautiful so you can sleep at night? I learned to wear the silence I learned to hide the strain I learned to say “I’m fine” while standing in the rain [Pre-Chorus: organ rises subtly behind the voice] Do you want the easy answer? Do you want the safer lie? Something small enough to carry so you never ask me why? [Chorus: full darkwave rock arrangement] Depression is not just a word not something you can brush away not just a cloud above my head not just another darker day Depression is not just a word it lives where nobody can see I can smile and still be drowning while you think that smile is me [Instrumental Break: mournful cello lead, dark synth bass, restrained distorted guitar] [Bridge: instruments fall back, fragile but fully sung] I do not need your pity I do not need an empty line I only need somebody who will stay when I go quiet I am not lazy I am not weak I am not just sad because I cannot sleep There are days when simply breathing feels heavier than stone and I can stand among a thousand and still feel completely alone [Build-Up: heartbeat drums return, cello rises] The light is still ahead of me I still cannot reach it yet But I am still inside the tunnel I am still taking one more step [Final Chorus: strongest vocal, emotional but never shouted] Depression is not just a word not something you can brush away not just a cloud above my head not just another darker day Depression is not just a word it lives where nobody can see I can smile and still be drowning but that smile is not all of me [Outro: piano and cello remain, synth pulse fading] There is a light somewhere ahead I cannot reach it But I can see it
