Tell Me When You Arrive

[Intro] (Instrumental only – ritualistic heartbeat pulse, distant windchimes, layered whispered breaths) [Verse 1] "Why do they fear the end?" she asked, Red hair brushing her knees as she stared at the grass. "A journey far with no return— Isn’t that just the same as death?" The other smiled, with bruised arms tucked in tight, "Because the gone can no longer change," she replied. "Even if they vanish, the living still unfold— But the dead have no new stories told." [Bridge] "If only the dead could send a sign, Then no one would be afraid of dying." So we made a promise in the wind, A vow stitched through time: "If I go first—I’ll reach for you." She said it like a sunrise through the dew. [Pre-Chorus] But the morning came with rope and hush, No time for goodbyes, no final touch. They whispered “witch,” they called me sin, But I just missed her voice again. [Chorus] Call me when you arrive, Even if the wires are frayed by time. I’ll burn the world, tear through the veil, Chant your name until the silence breaks. Beneath the cross, I’ll sew the stars, Through ash and bone and blood-filled jars. If death won’t let your message through, Then I’ll become the voice for you. [Verse 2] "She died," they said, "like cursed things do," As if her pain was made by me, not you. They pushed, they spat, they mocked her name, I stood, I stared—I felt no shame. "Disgusting," they said, "you feel nothing at all," But grief isn't always loud when it calls. I brushed the dust from my fallen hem, While the bells rang out for the end of a friend. [Bridge] She smiled and promised she'd try to write, From the place where time holds only night. So I listen to the wind, to graves, to dreams, And fill my hands with silent screams. [Pre-Chorus] If they won't believe, then let them sneer, But I will wait, year after year. A witch? A devil? Perhaps that's true— But all I've done was search for you. [Chorus] Call me when you arrive, Even if the words distort, denied. I’ll drain the moon, I’ll stain the dawn, Just to prove the pact lives on. In every cut, in every cry, I etch your name, refuse goodbye. If death has locked the door on you, Then I’ll become the key to move. [Outro] (Instrumental – reversed voices, creaking wood, low-hummed chanting fading into silence) --- [Intro] （純樂器 – 儀式般的心跳節奏、遙遠風鈴、交疊的低語） [Verse 1] 「為什麼人們會害怕終點呢？」她問， 紅色長髮垂落膝前，凝視著草地。 「如果是去很遠的地方再也不回來—— 那不就和死亡一樣嗎？」 另一位女孩笑著，瘀青的手臂緊緊抱著， 「因為消失的人已無法改變，」她回答。 「就算他們不在了，活著的人仍持續前進—— 但死者不會再有新故事被說出。」 [Bridge] 「如果死者能傳遞訊息， 那死亡就不可怕了吧？」 我們在風中立下誓言， 時間縫合的盟約： 「如果我先走——我會傳話給妳。」 她說得像晨曦劃過露水。 [Pre-Chorus] 可晨光卻帶來了繩索與靜默， 沒有道別，沒有餘溫的指尖。 他們叫我魔女、詛咒之人， 而我，只想再聽見她的聲音。 [Chorus] 等妳來的時候，告訴我 即使語言被歲月扯裂扭曲 我會燒盡世界，撕裂帷幕 吟唱妳的名字直到沉默崩毀 在十字架下縫接星辰 穿越灰燼、骸骨與血液盛裝 如果死亡阻斷妳的訊息 那我就成為妳的聲音 [Verse 2] 「她死了。」他們說，「像被詛咒之人一樣。」 彷彿她的痛苦不是你們造成的，而是我。 他們推我、唾罵我、嘲弄她的名字， 而我只是站著，看著——我不感到羞愧。 「好噁，朋友死了還一臉無所謂……」 但悲傷並不總是高聲呼喊時才存在。 我拍去裙上的塵埃， 鐘聲響起，送別一位朋友的結局。 [Bridge] 她曾笑著說會努力寫信， 從那個只剩黑夜的時間裡。 所以我傾聽風、墳墓、夢境， 以無聲的慟語填滿雙掌。 [Pre-Chorus] 若他們不信，就讓他們譏笑 而我會一直等，年復一年 魔女？惡魔？或許那是真的—— 但我所做的，只是找尋妳 [Chorus] 等妳來的時候，告訴我 即使言語被扭曲、被否決 我會掏空月色、染紅黎明 只為證明我們的約定還活著 在每道傷口、每聲哭泣中 我刻下妳的名字，拒絕告別 若死亡將妳關在門後， 那我就成為開啟之鑰 [Outro] （純樂器 – 倒放的聲音、木頭吱嘎聲、低吟的詠唱慢慢歸於無聲）
