awerysopelea - Continuum Democracy

كلمات الأغنية

[Intro – Spoken, Female] Dear citizen, another letter. another slogan. another promise. No. Ask me. [Beat Drop] [Verse 1 – Female] Don't send me paper telling me what you've done. Don't sell me futures when the deal is already signed. Don't give me five seconds inside a voting booth, then take four years to speak in my name. You want my mandate? Then keep asking. [Pre-Chorus] Not once. Not every four years. Every law. Every turn. Every line that changes how tomorrow works. [Chorus – Female + Crowd] NO MORE LETTERS. NO MORE CAMPAIGNS. NO MORE SELLING US A CHOICE ALREADY MADE. WE DON'T WANT A VOICE FOR ONE DAY IN FOUR YEARS. WE WANT THE QUESTION BEFORE THE ANSWER APPEARS. CONTINUUM! CONTINUUM! Democracy doesn't end when the ballot box shuts. CONTINUUM! CONTINUUM! If you govern in our name— THEN KEEP US IN THE ROOM. [Post-Chorus – Crowd] Ask. Listen. Answer. Repeat. Ask. Listen. Answer. Repeat. [Verse 2 – Female] No glossy posters. No thirty-second truth. No manufactured sentence tested on a focus group. Give me the paragraph. Give me the consequence. Give me the argument before you ask for trust. I don't need another face promising to represent me. Build a system that can hear me. [Pre-Chorus – Male/Female] If technology can count every click, every purchase, every second— then don't tell me democracy is too difficult to continue after election night. [DROP] [Chorus] NO MORE LETTERS. NO MORE CAMPAIGNS. NO MORE SELLING US A CHOICE ALREADY MADE. WE DON'T WANT A VOICE FOR ONE DAY IN FOUR YEARS. WE WANT THE QUESTION BEFORE THE ANSWER APPEARS. CONTINUUM! CONTINUUM! Democracy doesn't end when the ballot box shuts. CONTINUUM! CONTINUUM! If you govern in our name— THEN KEEP US IN THE ROOM. [Bridge – Voices Across Europe] [German Voice] Nicht nur wählen. Mitentscheiden. [French Voice] Pas seulement voter. Décider ensemble. [Italian Voice] Non solo votare. Decidere insieme. [Spanish Voice] No solo votar. Decidir juntos. [Polish Voice] Nie tylko głosować. Decydować razem. [Portuguese Voice] Não basta votar. Vamos decidir. [Dutch Voice] Niet alleen stemmen. Samen beslissen. [All Voices – growing louder] Nicht irgendwann. Maintenant. Adesso. Ahora. Teraz. Agora. NOW. [Silence] [Female – whispered] A democracy that only asks us who should speak... is afraid to ask us what we want to say. [Massive Final Drop] [Final Chorus – Full Choir] NO MORE SILENCE BETWEEN ELECTION DAYS. NO MORE POWER WITHOUT A QUESTION RAISED. DON'T REPRESENT ME WHEN YOU COULD CONNECT ME. DON'T SPEAK FOR MILLIONS— LET MILLIONS SPEAK. CONTINUUM! CONTINUUM! FROM LISBON TO WARSAW, FROM DUBLIN TO ROME— CONTINUUM! CONTINUUM! EUROPE IS NOT A GOVERNMENT. EUROPE IS ITS PEOPLE. [Outro – Crowd, rhythmic] Ask us. Before the law. Ask us. Before the deal. Ask us. Before the future becomes irreversible. [Female] No more democracy as an event. [All – screamed] MAKE IT A CONTINUUM. [Final whispered voice] Continuum Democracy. The conversation never closes.
