[Intro] [Instrumental] [Mood: Tension] [Key: B minor] [Harmony: Pedal with rising dissonance] [Texture: Low pulse, dry articulation] [Constraint: No vocal yet] [Verse I] [Mood: Fracture] [Key: B minor] [Harmony: i – v – i] [Texture: Repeating figures] [Constraint: Narrow melodic range] To be human is to watch the patterns trace their way through windowpanes, to love our crossings in our days, our parallel hearts, our crooked ways. [Verse II] [Mood: Effort] [Key: B dorian] [Harmony: i – IV – v] [Texture: Layered ostinato, breath enters] [Constraint: Gradual expansion] To be human is to know the beauty, and feel the ache it carries too, to be given this fragile moment, of me and you, of me and you. [Bridge] [Mood: Agency] [Key: D major] [Harmony: I – vi – IV] [Texture: Broader voicing] [Constraint: No triumph] To be human is to be flawed, to be lost and still move on, to touch the dream, to count the cost, to find yourself where you were lost. To be human is to watch birds dancing, and wonder why it breaks us open, what peace, what joy, what quiet knowing still lives inside our hoping. [Outro] [Instrumental] [Mood: Integration] [Key: B minor] [Harmony: i – IV – i] [Texture: Pulse softens] [Constraint: Fade grounded] To be human is to chase perfection, then soften at the truth it brings, to see that it was never out there, it was always me, in simply being.
