[INTRO — FEMALE, WHISPERED / ETHEREAL] Names in the glass… Faces in the frame… Strip away the noise… Tell me what remains… [VERSE 1 — MALE] They gave us names Before we knew, Told us who We had to be. Little boxes, Little lines, Learning how To fit the design. We learn the words, We learn the pose, We hide the things Nobody knows. But underneath The polished surface, Something still says— No. [PRE-CHORUS — FEMALE] Your hands say fine, Your eyes say no. You don't have to hide What I already know. [CHORUS — BOTH] When the names fall away, When the masks lose their shape, When the world stops telling us Who we're supposed to be, Different roads, Different scars, Different stories, Different stars, But underneath it all There's a human being. What remains? What remains? When everything disappears… What remains? [POST-CHORUS — FEMALE] What remains… What remains… Oh-oh… What remains… [VERSE 2 — MALE] They called us wrong For being strange, Tried to make us Fit the frame. Taught us shame, Taught us fear, Made us hide The fire in here. But I don't need Their barcode. I don't need Their measuring tape. What they tried To straighten out Was the part That wouldn't break. Maybe every crack Still knows, Every scar Still shows— What changed us Didn't have to Take away our glow. [PRE-CHORUS — FEMALE] You don't have to Tell me why. Some truths live Behind the eyes. [CHORUS — BOTH] When the names fall away, When the masks lose their shape, When the world stops telling us Who we're supposed to be, Different roads, Different scars, Different stories, Different stars, But underneath it all There's a human being. What remains? What remains? When everything disappears… What remains? [BREAKDOWN — ALMOST A CAPPELLA] [MALE] Maybe we're not meant To walk the same road. [FEMALE] Maybe understanding Doesn't mean we're the same. [MALE] Different histories… [FEMALE] Different beliefs… [BOTH — BUILDING] Same humanity Underneath. [GLITCH VOCAL] Different voices… Different choices… Same question underneath… [VERSE 3 — MALE] The past can leave a mark, But it doesn't own your name. You can carry what you've lived Without becoming yesterday. Every ending Changes shape. Every lesson Leaves a trace. But the person looking back Can still choose A different way. Let the old reflections fade. Let the borrowed answers go. There's a difference Between becoming And pretending that you know. [PRE-CHORUS — BOTH] Beneath the title, Beneath the pride, Beneath the face We show outside— Who are you When no one's watching? Who are we When nothing stands between us? [CHORUS — FULL] When the names fall away, When the masks lose their shape, When the world stops telling us Who we're supposed to be, Different roads, Different scars, Different stories, Different stars, But underneath it all There's a human being. No label can contain us. No past can define us. No difference has the power To erase what lives between us. What remains? What remains? When everything disappears… What remains? [BRIDGE — FEMALE] Maybe it's the cracks… Maybe it's the questions… Maybe all the broken pieces Still belong. [MALE] Maybe being different Wasn't being lost. [FEMALE] Maybe what changed us Made us strong. [BOTH] Maybe seeing someone different Is enough— To recognise The human being. [FINAL BUILD] Different histories… Different beliefs… Different reasons… Different dreams… Same uncertainty… Same need to be seen… Same question underneath… Who are we? Who are we? Who are we underneath? [FINAL CHORUS — HUGE] When the names fall away, When the masks lose their shape, When the noise disappears And there's nothing left to prove, Different roads, Different scars, Different worlds, Beneath the stars, But underneath it all There's a human being. No label can contain us. No past can define us. No difference has the power To erase what lives between us. When everything disappears… When every borrowed voice is gone… What remains? [OUTRO — STRIPPED BACK] [MALE] Not the title… [FEMALE] Not the mask… [MALE] Not the role… [FEMALE] Not the past… [BOTH — SOFT] Just the part That was always there… [FEMALE — AIRY] What remains… [MALE — NATURAL, FINAL] A human being. [FINAL MOTIF — INSTRUMENTAL]
