[Style • Genre: Rap/Pop with cinematic dark undertones • Tempo: Slow-mid tempo (90–95 BPM) • Production: • Minor key piano and strings for a tense, haunting feel • Sparse percussion — heavy emphasis on space and tension • Occasional distorted synth hits for anxiety moments • Vibe: Reflective, anxious, almost defeated — the comeback is tested] [Theme • Even after conquering fear, old habits and internal struggles sneak back • Anxiety, self-doubt, financial stress, and regrets challenge your victories • Feeling like winning is temporary — the fight isn’t over • The song sets up the idea that growth is ongoing, life isn’t linear] [Key imagery: shadow creeping back, doors closing, weight pressing down, internal wrestling] [Intro] Yeah… Thought I had it, thought I was clear But the shadows… they’re still here [Verse 1] I won the fight, hit fear with my finisher Pinned him down, felt like the winner But late at night, when the world’s asleep Old thoughts creep in, pull me down deep Bank’s not full, my goals seem distant Regret knocks hard, the feeling persistent I try to breathe, try to pray, try to cope But the darkness whispers, kills my hope [Pre-Chorus] I told myself I was free, I was clear But the doubts are back, the panic is near Step by step, I feel them crawl Every victory shakes, almost a fall [Chorus] Hopeless, creeping in the night I fought the fear, but it’s still in sight Hopeless, shadows in my mind Even after winning, peace is hard to find Hands are shaking, head’s in a haze I fight, I fight, but the pressure stays Hopeless, I feel it in my chest The battle’s never over, no time to rest [Verse 2] Stress on my shoulders, money slipping fast Try to stay present, haunted by the past Old mistakes, they scream and taunt Even when I smile, they want to haunt Love beside me, faith in my heart Still I feel torn, like falling apart The ring is mine, but the shadows call The final bell rings, but I stumble and fall [Pre-Chorus] I told myself I was free, I was clear But the doubts are back, the panic is near Step by step, I feel them crawl Every victory shakes, almost a fall [Chorus] Hopeless, creeping in the night I fought the fear, but it’s still in sight Hopeless, shadows in my mind Even after winning, peace is hard to find Hands are shaking, head’s in a haze I fight, I fight, but the pressure stays Hopeless, I feel it in my chest The battle’s never over, no time to rest [Bridge] It’s not the end, just a test Every fight I face, it’s a quest I rise again, even when I fall The shadows speak, but I hear the call Hope isn’t gone, just hiding deep I’ll fight again, even in my sleep [Final Chorus] Hopeless, creeping in the night I fought the fear, but it’s still in sight Hopeless, shadows in my mind Even after winning, peace is hard to find Hands are shaking, head’s in a haze I fight, I fight, but the pressure stays Hopeless, I feel it in my chest But I’ll rise tomorrow, and take the test [Outro] Yeah… I’m scared… I’m terrified… Hopeless.
