Sidney’s Arcadia

[Intro] Silence cannot stop the time. You cannot hide from yourself. Arcadia… [Chorus] Arcadia… there is no such place. You run from yourself while fate still waits. It walks beside you, silent and near, Knowing your name, knowing your fears. Arcadia… a green light far away. You cannot touch what continues to burn. Between desire and all that we owe, We’re searching for the road back home. [Verse 1] The king laid down his crown like an old coat, He killed the lights and tried to let go. He left the city, the people, the noise, But his own shadow kept walking behind. Beside the water, the landscape was green, Everything looked like a brand-new beginning. But people carry storms into silence, And hearts never ask where they should go. They read no maps, they know no borders, Running through darkness while reason sleeps. Dreams in the eyes, fire beneath the skin, And suddenly the whole world starts to shake. [Chorus] Arcadia… there is no such place. You run from yourself while fate still waits. It walks beside you, silent and near, Knowing your name, knowing your fears. Arcadia… a green light far away. You cannot touch what continues to burn. Between desire and all that we owe, We’re searching for the road back home. [Verse 2] Princes now wear borrowed faces, Love turns truth into painted masks. Every secret leaves a hidden scar, Every night demands its price. Palaces sleep beneath dark heavens, Silent wars grow under the skin. Every longing casts a sharp shadow, Every choice remains within. Because passion burns like a forest on fire, Never asking what survives the dawn. Reason falls asleep beneath warm words, While the heart keeps running alone. [Chorus] Arcadia… there is no such place. You run from yourself while fate still waits. It walks beside you, silent and near, Knowing your name, knowing your fears. Arcadia… a green light far away. You cannot touch what continues to burn. Between desire and all that we owe, We’re searching for the road back home. [Bridge] You cannot take responsibility off Like a rain-soaked coat. You cannot hide your destiny Behind the trees, Beyond the river, Past the hills. Fate waits patiently Until you meet its eyes. [Outro] We keep walking with empty hands, With pockets full of dreams. We learn that freedom is not escape, And reason is the final light at night. So Arcadia… Perhaps it only exists When we are able To save ourselves.
