Lyrics
[Intro – soft arpeggiated synth, distant reverb]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Verse 1 – gentle trap snare, warm bass hum]
I’m tangled in the glow of a half-remembered scene
The clock ticks slow but the world won’t let me be
Fingers brush a face I can’t quite name
Eyes open wide but I’m still stuck in the frame
[Pre-Chorus – building synth layers, faint vocal harmonies]
The walls are melting into stardust and smoke
I reach for the door but my feet won’t move, no
[Chorus – bright lead synth, steady kick drum, layered vocals]
I need to escape the dream, break the spell that’s holding me
Chasing a light that’s just out of reach, set my spirit free
I need to escape the dream, wake up to what’s real
Leave the echoes of what could’ve been, let the truth reveal
[Verse 2 – muted piano under synths, crisp hi-hats]
A voice calls out from the edge of the haze
Says the sun’s still up, don’t let the dark days stay
I trace the cracks in the glass of this perfect lie
Feel my heartbeat pound, ready to say goodbye
[Pre-Chorus – swelling synths, more prominent harmonies]
The floor is shifting under my trembling feet
I grab the handle, finally ready to meet
[Chorus – intensified synths, driving beat, vocal ad-libs]
I need to escape the dream, break the spell that’s holding me
Chasing a light that’s just out of reach, set my spirit free
I need to escape the dream, wake up to what’s real
Leave the echoes of what could’ve been, let the truth reveal
[Interlude – stripped-back piano, soft vocal hums]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Bridge – sparse synth pulses, intimate vocals]
The dream fades fast as I take a breath
The cold air stings but it feels like death to the lies
I see the world in a brand new light
No more hiding, no more fight
[Final Chorus – full synth arrangement, soaring vocals, clap track]
I escaped the dream, broke the spell that held me
Found the light that was out of reach, set my spirit free
I escaped the dream, woke up to what’s real
Left the echoes of what could’ve been, let the truth reveal
[Outro – fading synths, gentle piano arpeggio]
The dream’s gone now, I’m finally home
No more running, I’m not alone
