COLD WHITE LIGHT

كلمات الأغنية

[Intro — distant, almost whispered] Yeah… Funny how the sky can look so full When you feel so empty. I still see your light out here. [Verse 1 — melodic rap] I been staring through the window at a world I barely know, Watching constellations burn a million miles from home. Used to think the dark was beautiful when you were by my side, Now every star’s a memory that learned to say goodbye. And the moon hangs like a ghost above this lonely town, Cold and white and beautiful, but never warming ground. Maybe that’s just what I am since you went out of sight— Something dead and distant still reflecting someone else’s light. I’ve got galaxies of silence underneath my skin, All this empty space where you had always been. Gravity keeps pulling, but there’s nothing left to hold, Funny how a heart can burn and somehow still be cold. [Pre-Chorus — sung, building] Once the stars shone bright in here, Now they’re disappearing… One by one into the dark, Till I can’t remember where you are. [Chorus — huge, emotional] It’s a cold white light, On a cold dark world inside, Where the stars once burned so bright Before they fell out of my sky. And my heart still burns, But it don’t keep me warm tonight. I’m just a moon without a sun, Holding on to borrowed light. If you’re somewhere past the stars, If you see me from that far— I’m still turning through the night, In this cold white light. [Verse 2 — stronger rap flow] They say space goes on forever, Guess I know what that means now. ‘Cause the distance in my chest Couldn’t ever be measured out. And I tried to fill the silence, Tried to outrun what I knew, But every road became an orbit, Every orbit led to you. So I talk into the darkness like the darkness talks back, Sending signals through the static, never knowing where they’re at. Maybe love is like a star—you see it long after it’s gone, And you swear that it’s still shining when the fire’s been dead all along. But somewhere underneath the wreckage, Underneath this frozen blue, There’s a little bit of gravity Still pulling me toward you. [Pre-Chorus — higher, more desperate] Once the stars shone bright in here, I swear I still can see ‘em… Flickering behind the dark, Like they haven’t quite forgotten who we are. [Chorus — massive] It’s a cold white light, On a cold dark world inside, Where the stars once burned so bright Before they fell out of my sky. And my heart still burns, But it don’t keep me warm tonight. I’m just a moon without a sun, Holding on to borrowed light. If you’re somewhere past the stars, If you see me from that far— I’m still turning through the night, In this cold white light. [Bridge — drums fall away / piano + choir] Maybe empty doesn’t mean There’s nothing left in me. Maybe space is only space Because there’s room for something to be. Maybe every dying star Leaves something in the dark… And maybe somewhere past this night I’ll find my way back home. [Final Chorus — full cinematic production] Through the cold white light, Through the cold dark world inside, I can see one distant star Still burning somewhere in my sky. Yeah, my heart still hurts, But maybe hurt means I’m alive. Maybe I’m not a moon without a sun— Maybe dawn just takes some time. So if you’re somewhere past the stars, You don’t have to know where you are. I’ll keep turning through the night Till I find the morning light. Through the cold white light… I’ll find my way home.
