HIGHER

Lyrics

The darkness breathes, it’s calling out my name Caught in the shadow, playing a losing game I felt so lost, just a ghost inside the machine Close to giving up on everything I’ve seen The world feels hopeless, drowning in the grey But I see a spark that refuses to fade away. ​(Pre-Chorus) (Build up with heavy drums) I won't let the silence take my soul I’m reclaiming all the heart they stole! ​(Chorus) (High energy, melodic, and soaring) We’re reaching HIGHER than the pain we knew With a divine light breaking through! We fight for the faith that we almost misplaced Leaving the shadows without a trace In the heat of the fire, we’re rising HIGHER! ​(Verse 2) There’s a hope that’s pulsing underneath the skin A holy war that we’re destined to win No more retreating, no more looking back We illuminate the void, we bleed through the black. ​(Bridge) (Slower, atmospheric, then builds to a scream/heavy breakdown) When the darkness surrounds... I won't look down. I won't look down! FAITH IS THE WEAPON! (Heavy breakdown) ​(Chorus) We’re reaching HIGHER than the pain we knew With a divine light breaking through! We fight for the faith that we almost misplaced Leaving the shadows without a trace In the heat of the fire, we’re rising HIGHER! ​(Outro) Rising Higher. Don’t let the shadow take you. Keep the hope alive. Higher. ​Why this works for your style: • ​The Contrast: Modern rock (like Dayseeker) relies on the contrast between "hopeless" verses and "divine/soaring" choruses. • ​The Title: Using "Higher" as the main hook in the chorus makes it memorable and ties it directly to your manga’s branding. • ​The Tone: It feels like a battle anthem for heroes who are tired but refuse to quit. ​Would you like me to suggest some specific "vocal cues" (like where to use clean singing vs. gritty vocals) to match the Sleep Theory style?
