Rising from the scars

Lyrics

BREAKING THROUGH THE DARK

[Intro — haunting piano, distant pads]I’ve been walking through the shadows,Trying not to lose my way,Every morning felt like fightingJust to make it through the day.

There were voices in the silenceTelling me I wasn’t strong,But somewhere underneath the darknessSomething whispered, “Carry on.”

[Verse 1 — intimate male vocal]I wore a smile to hide the damage,Kept the weight beneath my skin,Told the world that I was alrightWhile the war was raging in.

Every night became a battlefield,Every thought another scar,I was searching for an exitFrom a place that felt too dark.

But I learned that being brokenDoesn't mean you're at the end,Sometimes cracks are where the light gets in,Sometimes falling makes you bend.

[Pre-Chorus — rising strings, pulsing synth]So when the darkness calls my name,I won't surrender to the pain,I've got a heartbeat underneathThe ashes of yesterday.

And if I have to crawl,I'll crawl until I stand,If I have to lose the darkness,I'll rebuild myself again.

[DROP / CHORUS — huge melodic EDM]I'm breaking through the dark,I'm finding where I am,I thought I lost the light,But I found it in my hands.

I won't disappear,I won't give up the fight,Every scar became a star,Now I'm turning on the light.

I'm breaking—Breaking through the dark.I'm rising—Rising from the scars.

[Post-Drop — vocal hook, shimmering arps]Oh-oh-oh,I'm still alive.Oh-oh-oh,I found the light.

[Verse 2 — deeper, more emotional]There were days I couldn't feel it,Couldn't see beyond the grey,Couldn't recognise the personLooking back at me that day.

I pushed away the peopleWho were reaching for my hand,Thought nobody could understandThe war I couldn't explain.

But someone stayed beside me,When I couldn't stay myself,Didn't try to fix the broken,Just reminded me to breathe.

And little by little,I started seeing colour,One small step became another,And I started choosing me.

[Pre-Chorus — bigger than first]Now when the darkness calls my name,I don't run from it the same,I know the night can feel forever,But the sun still finds a way.

And if I fall,I'll rise again,This isn't where my story ends,I'm more than every thought That ever told me I was less.

[DROP 2 — bigger drums, wider synths]I'm breaking through the dark,I'm finding where I am,I thought I lost the light,But I found it in my hands.

I won't disappear,I won't give up the fight,Every scar became a star,Now I'm turning on the light.

I'm breaking—Breaking through the dark.I'm rising—Rising from the scars.

[Bridge — stripped back, piano + strings]If you're standing in the darkness,Thinking no one sees your pain,Please remember storms can pass,Even when they feel like rain.

You don't have to win tomorrow,You don't have to understand,Just survive this moment,Take another breath,And reach for someone's hand.

You're still here.That's not nothing.That's everything.

[Build — heartbeat, rising synth, massive tension]I was lost...But I'm not lost anymore.

I was drowning...Now I'm reaching for the shore.

I was hiding...Now I'm stepping into light.

I was fighting just to live...Now I'm fighting for my life.

Three...Two...One...

[FINAL DROP — MASSIVE]I'M BREAKING THROUGH THE DARK!I'M FINALLY ALIVE!THE FIRE IN MY HEARTIS NEVER GONNA DIE!

I WON'T DISAPPEAR!I WON'T GIVE UP THE FIGHT!EVERY SCAR BECAME A STAR!NOW I'M TURNING ON THE LIGHT!

I'M BREAKING—BREAKING THROUGH THE DARK!I'M RISING—RISING FROM THE SCARS!

I'M BREATHING!I'M HEALING!I'M FEELING!I'M ALIVE!

BREAKING THROUGH THE DARK!BREAKING THROUGH THE DARK!THE NIGHT IS NOT THE END—THIS IS WHERE I COME ALIVE!

[Outro — piano and atmospheric pads]I thought the darkness was forever...But I was wrong.

There was always a lightwaiting for meto find it.
