Before the city wakes

Lyrics

Para o **Synthpop / New Wave 80s**, eu evitaria cair na letra romântica nostálgica típica. A proposta aqui é mais conceitual: **uma mulher percebe que passou anos tentando ser a versão dela que os outros esperavam. Numa madrugada, dirigindo sozinha pela cidade, decide “desaparecer” dessa identidade e começar outra vida antes do amanhecer.** Combina com synths noturnos, pulsação eletrônica e uma voz feminina fria nas estrofes que explode no refrão. ## **BEFORE THE CITY WAKES** ### [Verse 1] Two seventeen on the dashboard light No destination, just a Friday night I left my old name sleeping by the door Don't think I'll need that version anymore ### [Verse 2] Red lights bleeding on the avenue Every reflection shows somebody new All of those years being what they need Tonight the only witness here is me ### [Chorus] Before the city wakes I'm gonna disappear Leave every borrowed version of myself right here Before the morning breaks I'll finally make my escape If I don't know who I am yet that's a beautiful mistake ### [Verse 3] I turn the radio louder than my doubt Windows down, let the old air out No grand goodbye, no dramatic scene Just empty streets and who I'm gonna be ### [Verse 4] Maybe freedom doesn't make a sound Maybe it's the moment you turn around And realize the life you couldn't leave was only one you never got to choose ### [Climax] Let them wake up asking where I've gone I've been disappearing all along Tonight I'm not running away from me I'm running toward the woman I haven't met yet Before the city wakes I'm gonna disappear Leave every borrowed version of myself right here Before the morning breaks I'll finally make my escape If I don't know who I am yet that's a beautiful mistake
