[Verse 1 - Minimal Dark Beat, Spoken Word Vocal] I drafted the blueprints, kept the angles precise Wore the right camouflage, paid the right price Standing in formation, blending into the gray Building a machine just to get through the day But the skin I was wearing was starting to crack Carrying a ghost's heavy weight on my back I smiled when I had to, I played the right part But the gears were all grinding inside of my heart. [Pre-Chorus - Building Tension, Rising Glitch Synths] I was a chameleon, hiding my face Shifting my colors to stay in my place [Drop - Aggressive Heavy Bass Explosion, Glitch Impact] [Chorus - Powerful Electronic Impact, Intense Vocals] But the act is exhausting, the disguise is outgrown I’m shedding the layers to claim what’s my own I’m a chameleon girl, stepping into the clear The silence is breaking, and I'm finally here. [Verse 2 - Heavy Reebok Bassline, Dark Electronic] Now I deal out the cards, let the Celtic Cross show The path I’m creating, the places I'll go Writing my own lyrics, finding my voice Guided by goddesses, making the choice To quietly retire the boy that you knew He fades in the background as the real me bleeds through. No more rolling the dice just to see where I fit I'm building the world, and I'm living in it. [Pre-Chorus - Rising Synths, Sub-Bass Swell] I was a chameleon, hiding my face Shifting my colors to stay in my place [Drop - Massive Industrial Bass Drop, Heavy Distortion] [Chorus - Maximum Energy, Aggressive Cyber Electronic] But the act is exhausting, the disguise is outgrown I’m shedding the layers to claim what’s my own I’m a chameleon girl, stepping into the clear The silence is breaking, and I'm finally here. [Bridge - Dramatic Shift, Halftime Glitch Beat] He built the foundation, he weathered the storm He wore the heavy armor, he kept to the form He kept me safe when the world was too cold But I have a different story to be told. [Bridge Part 2 - Screaming Synth Climax, Vocals Rising] So goodbye to the name that I'm putting to rest, I'm taking the heart beating out of my chest. The masquerade's over, the canvas is torn, I'm letting him go so the truth can be born. [Outro - Slow Deep Bass Fade, Whispered Cyber Vocal] The blueprint is redrawn. The old name is retired. Call me E-Lyra. Just call me E-Lyra. No more blending in. I'm painting it out. Chameleon girl. [End]
