3. Shadow Dance [Alchemist Album]

[Intro — floating whispers, soft hesitant piano melody in the background] (hey ! Can you finally hear me ? Ahahahah that's good ) Chhhttt Stop MmhhmmmMMmmm (You there?) psssst [verse 1] Shhh... listen... you hear them too, don’t you? They’re there, just behind the thoughts... A light breath... (Ssss...) Like a breeze tickling the inside of your skull. [silence, slow breathing] [piano is starting again and cello follow] They whisper simple things, Not mean, just... persistent. Do you think it’s real? Do you think they’ll understand? [The voice cracks slightly] But it’s nothing, no... nothing at all... Just fragments, shivers. Laughter... sometimes. (Héhéhé... Stop.) Silences that cling to your skin. [The piano melody becomes slightly dissonant] (am i crazy ?) MmmHahahahaha But shh... stay here, stay calm. We’ll dance with them, gently... No panic. [Gradual buildup — stronger piano, muffled violins in the background] (Psssst lemme go, we will be stronger) Ah... it vibrates, it spins… It’s sweet, isn’t it? Like a song you never forget. (Hmmm... tic-tic-tic...) They’re telling me I can fly, That walls are just lines to cross. Do you see the colors? I hear them! They sing! They laugh! (Héhéhé...) [The violins grow sharper] Wait... you’re going too fast, slow down! Or maybe not. Yes, speed up! (Ssss... Grraaaak...) Gravity’s a joke, right? There’s no up, no down, just us. All of us. [Heavy breathing, chaotic sounds — metallic bells, distant voices] Dance with me! The shadows are dancing too, look! [(HGrrrrhh... Plop... TCHAK!) It’s beautiful, isn’t it? Do you see it too? Or is it just me? [Sudden calm — distant piano, misty echo] Ah... are they gone? No... they always linger a little. Right there... in the corner. Whispering... (Ssss... Chhhhhh...) (am i free now ? Hahahahah ) [solo guitar riff and then piano is ending]
