[INTRO] [instrumental; distant rain sounds blended with warm synth pads; a slow, deep bass pulse begins] (Atmosphere builds) (4–8 bars) [VERSE 1] [airy, soft delivery; observational tone] Static sky above the trees Waiting for a sudden breeze The monochrome is closing in Where does the wild begin? Then a tear inside the screen A color that I’ve never seen A sudden violent shade of red Waking up the things unsaid [PRE-CHORUS] [pads swell; percussion gets crisper; tension rising] Feathers made of fire and light Burning in the fading sight Before the moment slips away Tearing through the shades of grey [CHORUS] [sweeping melodic drop; lush chords; gliding vocal melody; emotional] A crimson echo on the air A vivid dream that isn't there You’re flying like a signal flare Over the canopy Scarlet shadow, let me see The untamed part of you and me A beautiful anomaly Wild and free (Wild and free) [VERSE 2] [beat continues; steady half-time groove; bass is warmer] The after-image in my mind Is leaving everything behind A tropical vivid mistake In the world that we awake The silence rushes back too soon Beneath a pale digital moon But now I know the color exists Beyond the electronic mist [PRE-CHORUS] [pads swell; percussion gets crisper; tension rising] Feathers made of fire and light Burning in the fading sight Before the moment slips away Tearing through the shades of grey [CHORUS] [sweeping melodic drop; lush chords; gliding vocal melody; emotional] A crimson echo on the air A vivid dream that isn't there You’re flying like a signal flare Over the canopy Scarlet shadow, let me see The untamed part of you and me A beautiful anomaly Wild and free [BRIDGE] [stripped back; minimal plucks and breathy vocals; intimate] You don't belong here. You’re too bright. A intense piece of living light. (Swell builds slowly) Don't let them dull you down. Don't let them dull you down! [FINAL CHORUS] [maximum width; layered harmonies; soaring emotion] A crimson echo on the air (Echo on the air) A vivid dream that isn't there You’re flying like a signal flare Over the canopy Scarlet shadow, let me see The untamed part of you and me A beautiful anomaly Wild and free (A crimson echo) [OUTRO] [instrumental; synth pads slowly fade; subtle rain stick sound returns] Just an echo now. (Fade to silence)
