Nothing Left to Hide

V6

[Intro: 7/8, warm synths, bouncing bass] (Bmm-ka-tss, bmm-bmm-tss) (Ooh, ah-ah, here I am!) [Glitched vocal echoes] [Verse 1: Playful, syncopated] I used to edit every sentence Before it left my mouth Paint my colors into grayscale When the wrong crowd came around Now I laugh a little louder At the things I can't explain Every strange and crooked corner Has a place inside my name [Pre-Chorus: 5/4, rising falsetto] No more rehearsing my reflection No more asking who to be (I can breathe, I can breathe!) [Chorus: Soaring, layered harmonies] I'm comfortable inside my skin! With all the mess and magic in it! I don't have to win the room To know that I belong within it! Let them love me, let them leave I won't dim another light For the first time in forever Being me just feels so right! [Break: IDM glitch, phonk chops, bass solo] (Boom-ka-tss, tika-tika-boom) (Me-me-me, just me!) [Polyrhythmic bass counterpoint] [Verse 2: Warm, melodic] Some days confidence is quiet Like a shirt that fits just right A joke that only I find funny And a peaceful Friday night I can own the things I've broken Without living in regret I'm a work that's never finished Not a debt I have to pay [Bridge: Half-time, intimate to explosive] (Too much?) Maybe sometimes (Too strange?) In someone's eyes But I'd rather be a little weird Than live a borrowed life! [Final Chorus: Key lift, euphoric harmonies] I'M COMFORTABLE INSIDE MY SKIN! Every scar and contradiction! I can grow without erasing Every beautiful distinction! I don't need a perfect answer Or permission to begin There's a freedom in accepting Every person that I've been! [Outro: 7/8, fading vocal chops] (Here I am, here I am!) (Bmm-tss-ka, bmm-tss-ka) [Warm major ninth resolution]
