Prompt / Lyrics
[VERSE 1] [Soft synth pad fades in, vocals close and intimate] Used to walk in shadows that were never mine, Wore a face for people just to buy some time. Every step rehearsed like a borrowed line, But the mirror kept calling out the real design. [808 heartbeat pulse enters] All those quiet whispers underneath my skin, Telling me I’m hiding where the light should’ve been. --- [PRE-CHORUS] [High, glassy chords rise; breathy harmonies] I was living in a version of me that never felt like truth. Peeling back every layer I see— yeah, I’m stepping into something new. --- [CHORUS] [Beat opens wide, bright synths shimmer] I peeled off that second skin— now I’m breathing me again. I don’t need to fit right in, I was made to break the frame. I peeled off that second skin— let the old me wash away. If you’re looking for who I’ve been, you won’t find them here today. --- [VERSE 2] [Snare snaps tighter, low keys swirl] Used to shrink my colors just to keep the peace, Held my fire quiet so the world felt pleased. But a spark kept rising underneath the crease, ’Til it burned through the fabric I was scared to release. Now I’m walking fearless in the neon glow, Every scar a story that I let show. --- [PRE-CHORUS] [Vocals stack higher, pads swell] I was living in a version of me that never felt alive. But the second I let the truth breathe, man, I felt my spirit rise. --- [CHORUS] [Bigger bass, wider reverb] I peeled off that second skin— now I’m breathing me again. I don’t need to fit right in, I was made to bend the frame. I peeled off that second skin— let the old me drift away. If you're searching for who I’ve been, they’re a ghost I don’t portray. --- [BRIDGE] [Beat drops out; floating vocal stacks] New light in my veins, new shape in my name. I’m not hiding the change— I’m finally awake. [Bass rises back in] Every truth that I claim sets my past into flame… and I walk through it unashamed. --- [FINAL CHORUS] [Full lift, brightest chords, vocal ad-libs] I peeled off that second skin— now I’m breathing me again. All the walls I built within couldn’t cage who I became. I peeled off that second skin— stepped into the night unchained. If you’re reaching for who I’ve been, I’m a brand-new world today.
