🎭 MASCARADE 🌕 | [Feat. @luxnocthys]

🎭 MASCARADE 🌕 _______________________________ | by @princessakikoheartfield | Original lyrics without AI _______________________________ Hi everyone!! I hope ur all doing great, here and elsewhere! 💕 Today, I'm sharing my third collaboration with a first-class trickster, but also a very talented one, who definitely deserves to be listened to more. I'm talking about someone I met through SUNO and who I can now call… my friend... named Lux" 😜 To give u a bit of context: this all started from a verbal duel that took place over my track "ESCLAVE DE MES DÉSIRS". He had the idea of setting our exchange to music, and I decided to do the same on my side. We got a little too into our characters, and things spiraled... but I think I won, because he backed off with his tail between his legs 😏 (Long life to the Queen 👸) Naturally, we helped each other throughout the process to make sure we didn’t stray too far off-topic. Also… sorry in advance, it’s another long track, 8 minutes and 41 seconds. Let’s just say it was justified since Lux has a thing for long tracks 😅 (I broke my personal record by one minute!) Here’s the profile of my loyal subject, always around (well, depending... sometimes he vanishes mid-convo and reappears days later. I wonder what he’s doing in between 🤔): 🔗 https://suno.com/@luxnocthys His version ( i think i adore much more his version... Maybe he won this time... 😱 WARNING : IT'S VERY LONG) : 🔗https://suno.com/s/TOyiTLNCSJVr2n6c U can also check out this amazing dedication he made for me recently. I really loved the originality (and especially all the compliments he snuck in while pretending to be mad at me 😏): 🔗 https://suno.com/song/628065f3-2260-486e-aebd-8185d63a89b7 Go drop him some hearts! I’m sure u won’t be disappointed 🐺🌕👸 Thanks to him for giving me the opportunity to do this collab and for being such a good friend. The people we met here are amazing and u who read that, u are also amazing! I see u, i listen to u and i love u 💕 I know I've already taken up a lot of your time with such a long piece, but if you feel like it, go and have a listen to this first intrumental test, which I really loved but which didn't make the cut for these lyrics : 🔗 https://suno.com/song/b4920a76-b21e-46d8-b3b5-6c0be41e7f6e Wishing u all a wonderful listen!!! Side note: Sorry, I ran out of space for the English translation of the lyrics 💕 P.S. I can officially say this collab drained my credits… hard and long life to SUNO duets 😂 _______________________________ Narrateur: "In the twilight halls of shifting words and veiled glances, Two minds met, not to conquer... but to outlast. Was it a game? A poem? A ritual masked in rhyme? None could tell. But the dance... had begun." Akiko: "Ce n’est point guerre, mais bal enchanté, Où masques rient sous ciel argenté. Viens donc, Lux, laisse ton pas s’élancer, Et que ton cœur frémisse à danser." Lux: "Oh? You think you got me? Thou think’st I dance within thy blaze, Yet I remain. Untouched, untamed. I see thee, sovereign of sweet deceit, But my will bends not, even in heat. I’m the wolf beneath thy gaze, Snarling soft through midnight haze." Akiko: "Tu me défies ? Mais c’est moi qui t’inspire, Et nul ne fuit le feu qu’il tant désire. Tant que tu demeures, même en ta dérobade, Tu es à moi... en ce bal, je mène la parade. Je suis la lumière qui danse dans ton œil, Éclairant tes ténèbres, tout en douceur, je veille." Lux: "I see the mask, et j’admire le feu, But I won’t bend, nor dance on cue. I may whirl, yes. but not to thy tune. Remember this, ma chère : je suis insoumis. I am the whirlwind, a storm, not thy tale to tie." Akiko: "Tu fais semblant... mais tu restes là. Je n'ai pas parlé, mais tu m'entends... Tu reviens toujours, le pas incertain, Pas pour céder... mais pour effleurer ma main. Et même tes pas se perdent dans les miens." Lux: "Oh, faire semblant... thou does it well. Un sourire, un piège ? Hard to tell. Thought I stay, it ain’t out of need... But 'cause I can, only own's whims do I heed." Akiko: "Caprice, dis-tu ? Mais regarde un peu, Ton cœur chavire quand je me fais jeu. Libre ? Tu l’es... quand je le veux. Car c’est mon ombre qui brille dans tes yeux." Lux: "Maybe I don’t resist. Maybe I just reflect. Une partie de moi aime bien ton théâtre discret. But don’t think you’ve won, pas encore. I’m not caught, I'm just.... not caught.... J’suis pas un roi, ni pion non plus. Je suis un souffle, if you hold it, it slips. You think I’m near 'cause. 'cause I stay? Nah. I just never really left though." Akiko: "Tu dis n’avoir point résisté ? Or, dis-moi, N’es-tu pas celui qui sans fin fautes voit ? Tu veux jouer l’ombre, mais c’est toi qui danses. Et même ton souffle devient une connivence. Lux: "Thou think’st I wander near thy blaze, Yet I remain untouched, unclaimed. I see thee, attempted temptress, but I am not drawn. I am my own dusk, my own dawn." Your words may tease, thy charms may bite, But I walk paths that shun thy light. A smile, a glance. Is that all thy spell? If so, dear bittersweet, I know thee well." Akiko: "Tu dis ne point fléchir sous mes flammes, Mais tes vers s’enroulent autour de mon âme. Tu parles de moi, même en t’éloignant, Comme l’ombre suit l’éclat naissant. Tu marches, dis-tu, là où fuit ma lumière, Mais c’est ma lueur qui te rend fier. Un sourire, un regard ? Ce n’est pas tout, je le sais, Car tu ne pars jamais vraiment... sans jamais dire "je cède"" Lux: "I see the throne, and the velvet lies, Draped in perfume, cloaked in sighs. Tu n’es pas tyran non, tu es plus rusée. A tempest dressed in quietude, beautifully laid. My presence is not your prize, nor proof. I linger not beneath thy roof. Thought I’d be gone… et pourtant me voilà, de vers en vers, Bound not by sword, mais par le pouvoir des mots" Akiko: "Tu vois le trône, mais ignores son fardeau, Le velours cache plus qu’un doux écho. Je ne cherche ni prix, ni victoire, Mais tes mots m’ouvrent toujours une voie." Akiko: "Va, fidèle espiègle, feignant la victoire. La Reine te laisse cet honneur... pour cette fois. Mais ouïs bien cela : tu reviendras, toujours. Et reste donc insoumis, Là où mon royaume s'ouvre." Lux: "I may vanish... or just pretend. Not by order, not by end. I walk my path, round thee it coils, But rest assured, my Queen, none shall claim me, not thy spoils. Pas même moi." Akiko: "Wait... You just say... "MY Queen"?" Lux: "What? me? never... _______________________________
