Lyrics
[Intro]
(Soft, ambient synth pads. A clean, modulated guitar melody repeats.)
(Spoken/Whispered)
It’s too loud out there.
I just need it to be quiet.
[Verse 1]
White walls, 4 AM, staring at the ceiling fan
I’m tracing shadows of a life I don’t quite understand
My phone is face down, I don't want to see the glow
Of a world that’s moving fast while I’m moving slow.
I’m a million miles away in a room ten feet wide
Building up these fortress walls I’ve got nowhere to hide.
[Pre-Chorus]
And the kitchen downstairs sounds like a battlefield
Echoes of a "home" that never seemed to heal.
Boses na mataas, mga pintong sinisipa
I’m just the ghost in the hallway, parang wala na ngang kusa.
[Chorus]
I just want to be quiet, I just want to be numb
Far from the noise and the person I’ve become.
Pagod na ako sa laban na ‘to, ayoko na munang marinig
The sound of a heart that’s lost its beat, lost its tinig.
So goodbye to the pressure, goodbye to the light
I’m fading into the static of a long, lonely night.
Yeah, I’m okay being alone.
I’m finally on my own.
[Verse 2]
Sabi nila, "Stay strong," pero paano ba 'yun?
Kung pati sarili mong anino, gusto nang ibaon?
I’m drifting in the ocean of a broken family tree
The branches are all snapping, and they’re falling on me.
Everything feels heavy, yet I feel so light
Like a flickering candle in the middle of the night.
Walang nararamdaman, wala nang luhang lumalabas
Hinihintay ko na lang na ang oras ay lumipas.
[Chorus]
I just want to be quiet, I just want to be numb
Far from the noise and the person I’ve become.
Pagod na ako sa laban na ‘to, ayoko na munang marinig
The sound of a heart that’s lost its beat, lost its tinig.
So goodbye to the pressure, goodbye to the light
I’m fading into the static of a long, lonely night.
[Bridge]
(Music swells. Reverb-drenched vocals.)
It’s not that I’m hateful, I’m just... empty.
Ang hirap lumaban kung ang kalaban ay sarili.
Ang hirap tumayo kung ang sahig ay gumuho.
I’m far from the world, and I’m fine with the dulo.
(Shouted softly)
I’m fine with the dulo!
I’m letting go!
[Guitar Solo]
(Dreamy, melodic solo with heavy delay and chorus effects)
[Outro]
Quiet.
Gusto ko lang ng katahimikan.
No more fighting.
No more screaming.
Just the cold air... and me.
Paalam sa lahat ng ingay.
I’m finally far enough away.
(Fade out with a single synth note)
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
