[INTRO – Ethereal female humming, distant forest ambience, reversed piano, soft heartbeat bass] Mmm… ah-ah-ah… Ooh… ah-ah… I didn't know… I didn't know… That winter lived inside my bones… [VERSE 1 – Fragile breathy female vocals, minimal dark hip-hop beat, haunting piano] I look back at the girl I was Little heart beneath the frost Built a home inside the cold Held on tight, afraid to let go I wore my silence like a crown Learned to smile without a sound All the things I couldn't feel Were the wounds I couldn't heal [PRE-CHORUS – Rising ethereal harmonies, tribal-like organic percussion, distant echoes] And oh… The walls are falling down And oh… I can hear my heartbeat now All this time… I thought the cold was mine [CHORUS – Haunting, instantly singable, layered angelic female harmonies, deep 808 bass] Oh, I'm melting, melting Slowly coming back to life Oh, I'm feeling, feeling What I buried deep inside And he's so gentle With his shadows in the night How can someone hold such darkness And still make me feel the light? Oh, I'm melting, melting Let the winter leave my mind I never knew how cold I was Until I felt alive [POST-CHORUS – Wordless Nordic vocal melodies, deep atmospheric hip-hop drop] Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah… Ooh-ah, ooh-ah… Let it go… Let it go… Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah… Ooh-ah, ooh-ah… Let the winter go… [VERSE 2 – Darker hip-hop groove, intimate vocals, soft cello undertones] I used to call my chains a home Held them close when I was alone Every scar became a wall Till I couldn't feel at all He has storms behind his eyes Silent worlds he keeps inside But his hands are soft as rain And I don't have to hide my pain [PRE-CHORUS – Beat slowly disappears, fragile vocal harmonies] And oh… The walls are falling down And oh… I can feel the world somehow All this time… I was only trying to survive [CHORUS – Emotional cinematic swell, haunting female harmonies, heavy slow hip-hop beat] Oh, I'm melting, melting Slowly coming back to life Oh, I'm feeling, feeling What I buried deep inside And he's so gentle With his shadows in the night How can someone hold such darkness And still make me feel the light? Oh, I'm melting, melting Let the winter leave my mind I never knew how cold I was Until I felt alive [BRIDGE – Complete beat cut, raw whispered vocals, distant choir, almost sacred atmosphere] Maybe I was never cold… Maybe I was just alone Maybe I was never strong… Just afraid for far too long And isn't it strange… How the softest kind of touch Can show you how much pain You've learned to call love? [Whispered, trembling] He never asked me to be whole… He just held the parts I couldn't hold… [BUILD – Layered female vocal cries, rising strings, heartbeat drums] Ah-ah-ah… Let it fall… Ah-ah-ah… Let it all… I don't have to be The girl I used to be… [FINAL CHORUS – Explosive emotional release, powerful dark hip-hop drums, soaring ethereal vocals] Oh, I'm melting, melting All the ice beneath my skin Oh, I'm healing, healing Let the whole wide world come in And he's so gentle With his shadows deep inside He never tried to save me He just stood there by my side Oh, I'm melting, melting And for the first time in my life I don't have to turn to winter Just to make it through the night [OUTRO – Beat dissolves, intimate humming, distant piano, soft reverb] Mmm… ah-ah-ah… Ooh… ah-ah… I thought the cold was who I am… But I was only hiding From the warmth I didn't understand.
