The Universe Was You - When Stars Open Darker Doors

[Thank you Rhaelix for the amazing original, full of raw emotion and honesty. Link here https://suno.com/s/aqG6dnnmlGLdIggR ] [This is a response song, a dark-angel version, Suno has been giving broken iterations lately, but this version is one of the few that generated to completion, with the EDM beats at the right places, and a dark haunting twist to the original melody. Enjoy.] [Intro - whispered] We kept watching We kept calling Every shattered hope Was a hidden sign… [Verse 1] We have watched you build a future From a fear of being small Every midnight you were climbing Never hearing when we called Every shimmering temptation Every ladder, every throne Turned your longing into fire Till you stood there all alone She was waiting in the doorway Softly reaching for your eyes You kept staring past her shoulder Toward a distant, borrowed sky You said, "Just a little longer" Said, "I’m doing this for us" But your hands were full of trophies While your house was full of dust [Pre-Chorus] Higher, further One more climb More weight, more power Running out of time You heard her call As a distant plea You were building your tomorrow While breaking what could be [Chorus] You gobbled up the mountains and drank the sea, until you were the universe. The universe was You... You... You... You gained the world You lost your home You took control You stood alone The universe was You... You... You... [Verse 2] Every choice that left you lonely Was a lesson written deep Not a sentence, not a verdict Just a mirror you now keep You became the one you pictured From the stories in your mind But you learned that strength means choosing Not to leave yourself behind [Pre-Chorus] Every goal Every gain Every mile Every name Every prize Every scar Every tear became a star [Chorus] You gobbled up the mountains and drank the sea, until you were the universe. The universe was You... You... You… If you could live this life once more Blind to all that you would be Would you turn and hold her closer Would you walk more patiently? This is all a sacred journey Into who you’re meant to be What you lost becomes the compass Pointing where your heart is free [Build] Shine Shine Let your scars now shine Time Time Meets you when it’s time Every loss Rewrites the sky [Drop] The universe was You... You... You... [Bridge] You do not regret your growing Just the hearts it cost to climb But your soul is still unfolding It is not your final time If this heartbreak had to happen So your eyes could finally see Maybe all of this was written So you’d learn what love could be [Final Chorus] You gobbled up the mountains and drank the sea, until you were the universe. The universe was You... You... You... Stars like choirs Worlds align Every ending Opens time You chased the dream You paid the toll Now let love write A kinder role [Outro] You walked the worlds To prove you could You became What no one thought you would [Gently asks] Will you choose What your heart can keep? The universe was You... You... You... [Angels whisper From above:] When one door closes Another opens Do not lose sight Of what you love [End]
