Intro / Vocal Start You are melanin! My melanin, my melanin… [solo voice, intimate, raw, melodic, rhythmic] I wish I could hide you under my skin So no one sees the light you bring to me Every day brighter, naturally [vocal: free, expressive, like singing in open space, no breathy hums] Verse 1 [acoustic guitar + soft piano enters gently | airy pads layer softly] I trace the lines of your laughter in my mind Feel your heartbeat, like a rhythm intertwined If I could, I’d keep you hidden from the world’s eyes Yet I love to see you shine, natural, bright, and wise Pre-Chorus [light bass + soft rhythmic drums enter | vocal slightly louder] M-E-L-A-N-I-N, youh! I made it, I made it I wish I, I wannah, I wanaaaaah Put you under my skin You my friendiiih, so friendly I’m lucky I got you Chorus [full acoustic + soft synth pad + gentle bass | rhythmic drum pattern] Skin Melanin, shining from within I’d hide you safe, yet let your light begin Every moment with you feels brand new Natural and free, I see the truth in you Skin Melanin, close but not confined I carry your warmth, your soul intertwined Through the highs, through the calm, we’re alive With you, with me, we both survive Verse 2 [acoustic strum + soft piano | airy pad] I hold your light like it’s a secret flame Every laugh, every glance, I feel the same No pretense, no masks, just pure and real Skin melanin, you’re the treasure I reveal Bridge [deep bass + airy synth pads | soft electronic rhythm] Even when the world tries to dim your light I’ll lift you higher in the darkest night No one can take what’s ours to keep Skin melanin, your beauty runs deep [interlude: acoustic guitar + airy vocal improvisation | free singing] Pre-Chorus (Repeat) M-E-L-A-N-I-N, youh! I made it, I made it I wish I, I wannah, I wanaaaaah Put you under my skin You my friendiiih, so friendly I’m lucky I got you Chorus (Repeat) Skin Melanin, shining from within I’d hide you safe, yet let your light begin Every moment with you feels brand new Natural and free, I see the truth in you Skin Melanin, close but not confined I carry your warmth, your soul intertwined Through the highs, through the calm, we’re alive With you, with me, we both survive Final Outro [vocal-focused | unfiltered voice | soft acoustic & airy pad fade] You are melanin! My melanin… [improvise melodic ad-libs | rhythmic, open-space feeling | slow fade]
