BETWEEN THREE WORLDS

Lyrics

[INTRO — FULL ORCHESTRA AND BOOM-BAP HIT FROM THE FIRST SECOND]
My feet touch the ground, but my shadow's gone,
Three skies above me, and I belong to none.
One clock keeps ticking, one stopped years ago,
One waits in the distance where I don't dare go.
VERSE 1 — THE WORLD OF STONE
Concrete beneath me, cold light through the blinds,
I carry a whole universe trapped in my mind.
I learn every street, every shift, every sound,
But the more that I settle, the less I'm around.
My body clocks in while my soul clocks out,
I smile at the world with a storm full of doubt.
There's a life I maintain, there's a life I once knew,
And a door in the distance I keep looking through.
I tell myself, "Breathe. Just live for today."
But tomorrow keeps asking what I can't say.
I'm building a home on uncertain ground,
With two distant echoes that never quiet down.
PRE-HOOK — VIOLINS RISING
One is a photograph that won't turn to dust,
One is a sunrise I want to believe I can trust.
And here in the middle, I keep standing still—
A prisoner of yesterday, afraid of tomorrow's will.
HOOK — MASSIVE SYMPHONIC BATTLE CRY
THREE WORLDS! ONE MAN! NO PLACE TO LAND!
ONE HOLDS MY PAST, ONE CALLS FROM THE SAND!
ONE IS THE LIFE THAT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND—
I'M LOST BETWEEN WORLDS, WITH MY HEART IN MY HANDS!
THREE SKIES! THREE FIRES! ONE SOUL TORN APART!
ONE WON'T LET GO, ONE AWAKENS MY HEART!
I KEEP REACHING FOR TOMORROW, STILL CHAINED TO BEFORE—
THREE WORLDS AROUND ME… AND I'M LOST AT THE DOOR!
VERSE 2 — THE WORLD OF ASHES
There's a house in the distance where the embers still glow,
A song I remember from a long time ago.
The flames have gone quiet, the walls have turned grey,
But a part of me still lives in the smoke every day.
I know that the seasons have carried us on,
Yet I hear the old footsteps when the night grows long.
Some ghosts don't come hunting; they just sit in your chair,
Wear the shape of a memory and breathe your old air.
I don't know if it's love, or the weight of the years,
Or the fear that forgetting would make it disappear.
So I keep one window facing back through the rain,
While the life in front of me keeps calling my name.
[HOOK — HEAVIER DRUMS, STRINGS AT FULL FORCE]
THREE WORLDS! ONE MAN! NO PLACE TO LAND!
ONE HOLDS MY PAST, ONE CALLS FROM THE SAND!
ONE IS THE LIFE THAT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND—
I'M LOST BETWEEN WORLDS, WITH MY HEART IN MY HANDS!
[20-SECOND INSTRUMENTAL BREAKDOWN — NO VOCALS]
[Frantic violins collide with thunderous cellos, war drums, distorted bass and catastrophic orchestral impacts. Three musical motifs fight for control. The rhythm fractures, then slams back into place.]
VERSE 3 — THE WORLD OF LIGHT
There's a light on the horizon that knows none of my scars,
A sky full of promise, a road under stars.
It doesn't ask questions about where I've been,
It just opens the silence and lets the air in.
For the first time in ages, I remember the sound
Of a heart beating freely, not chained to the ground.
But hope has a shadow; it follows me too—
What if I reach for the light and bring darkness there too?
What if the past isn't finished with me?
What if the future is a wave I can't read?
I stand at the edge with my hands open wide,
Too afraid to let go, too alive to hide.
BRIDGE — SOLO CELLO, INTIMATE VOCALS
If I close my eyes, which sky will remain?
Which voice will be silence, which one will be pain?
Can a man move forward without erasing his past?
Can a moment be real if he's scared it won't last?
I don't want to lie. I don't want to pretend.
I don't want to break what I can't comprehend.
But the night keeps moving, and the years won't wait—
How long can a heart live suspended in a state?
BUILD — CELLO RISES INTO FULL ORCHESTRA
Stone beneath my feet!
Ashes in my lungs!
Light before my eyes!
Three worlds, one tongue!
I can't make the past disappear in the flame—
I can't ask tomorrow to carry my shame!
[FINAL HOOK — FULL SYMPHONY, MAXIMUM INTENSITY]
THREE WORLDS! ONE MAN! NO PLACE TO LAND!
ONE HOLDS MY PAST, ONE CALLS FROM THE SAND!
ONE IS THE LIFE THAT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND—
I'M LOST BETWEEN WORLDS, WITH MY HEART IN MY HANDS!
THREE SKIES! THREE FIRES! ONE SOUL TORN APART!
ONE WON'T LET GO, ONE AWAKENS MY HEART!
I KEEP REACHING FOR TOMORROW, STILL CHAINED TO BEFORE—
THREE WORLDS AROUND ME… AM I LOST ANYMORE?
[OUTRO — ORCHESTRA COLLAPSES TO SOLO CELLO]
My feet are here.
My shadow wanders.
The past still breathes.
The future wonders.
And somewhere between the worlds I know…
I take one step.
But I don't know where I go.
FINAL ORCHESTRAL IMPACT, THEN SILENCE
