AFTER HOURS
MARAKANSKY
INTRO – DARK SYNTH, DEEP BASS
2 AM...
City lights...
No notifications.
No explanations.
Just me tonight.
Yeah...
VERSE 1 – SMOOTH, LOW VOCAL
Black coffee getting colder on the table,
Same four walls, but tonight I'm feeling stable,
Phone face down, let the whole world wait,
I don't need another conversation running late.
Got my own rhythm, got my own pace,
A little more peace, a little more space,
I used to chase things I could never control,
Now I let the night put a hand on my soul.
No destination, no reason to run,
I found a little freedom when the day was done,
And if nobody calls, that's perfectly fine,
I've got a whole universe inside my mind.
PRE-HOOK – MELODIC
And I don't wanna go home,
But I don't wanna go out,
I just wanna feel something
Without figuring it out.
HOOK – HYPNOTIC, CATCHY R&B
After hours...
When the lights go low,
When the whole world sleeps,
That's when I come alive.
After hours...
Let the midnight flow,
I don't need nobody,
I'm just feeling right.
Oh-oh-oh...
Don't kill the vibe,
Oh-oh-oh...
This is my night.
VERSE 2 – RHYTHMIC RAP
I got no drama on my playlist,
No fake love, no complicated statements,
I used to think that silence meant I'm losing,
Now I know sometimes it's exactly what I'm choosing.
Little bit of soul, little bit of danger,
Stranger to the world, but to myself no stranger,
I don't need a crowd to validate my name,
I can sit alone and still enjoy the game.
No competition, no comparison,
No explanation for my decisions,
I spent too many nights trying to be understood,
Now I'm doing what I always knew I should.
PRE-HOOK
And I don't wanna go home,
But I don't wanna go out,
I just wanna feel something
Without figuring it out.
HOOK
After hours...
When the lights go low,
When the whole world sleeps,
That's when I come alive.
After hours...
Let the midnight flow,
I don't need nobody,
I'm just feeling right.
Oh-oh-oh...
Don't kill the vibe,
Oh-oh-oh...
This is my night.
BRIDGE – SOULFUL VOCALS, MINIMAL BEAT
Maybe tomorrow I'll answer the phone,
Maybe tomorrow I won't feel alone,
But right now the silence is treating me right,
And I'm not giving away this beautiful night.
VERSE 3 – DEEP, CONFIDENT MELODIC RAP
Look...
I spent my life trying to outrun the rain,
Trying to find sunshine in somebody else's name,
But there's something about the way the moon shines,
When you finally stop asking for a sign.
I don't hate the world, I just need my space,
I don't need to win every single race,
And if tomorrow brings another fight,
I'll meet it when I wake up to the light.
FINAL HOOK – FULL PRODUCTION
AFTER HOURS!
When the lights go low!
When the whole world sleeps!
That's when I come alive!
AFTER HOURS!
Let the midnight flow!
I don't need nobody!
I'm just feeling right!
Oh-oh-oh...
This is my night!
Oh-oh-oh...
I'm feeling alive!
OUTRO – BASS, SYNTH AND DISTANT VOCALS
No explanations...
No expectations...
Just me...
After hours.
MARAKANSKY.
