When We Were Light by Star System Legal

Before the breath, before the name,
Before the birth of time or flame,
We drifted close, then slipped apart,
No sky to meet, no skin, no heart.

You moved and I became the sound,
I turned and you were all around.
A hush so vast, a pull so slight,
We knew each other... 

When we were light.

We're not held,
We simply stayed.
Two souls unbound, yet unafraid.
Not drawn by force, nor ruled by fate,
But by a truth too small for weight.

We didn’t speak, we didn’t try,
We shimmered soft, you and I.
A love so deep it had no name,
Two stars, one flame.

No tether then, no world to name,
Just velvet silence, just the same.
The way the ocean knows the shore,
The way a pulse forgets the war.

We circled nothing, wide and slow,
A dance no time would ever know.
Still touching, even in the flight,
Still whole, still us… 

When we were light.

We were not bound,
We simply knew.
What one became, the other too.
No shadow cast, no edges drawn,
Just morning stretched across the dawn.

No loss, no fear, no need to fight,
We loved like stars who never night.
No wound to tend, no wish to write,
Just pure becoming… 

When we were light.

And maybe now, in skin and bone,
We echo what we’ve always known.
Each gaze, each ache, each tethered flight,
Is just a path back to that light.

So if you find me in the dark,
A trembling voice, a shattered spark,
Remember not the war or night,
But who we were…

When we were light.

Shine anyway

🎵 Try Again
by The Mainside Project

I’ve been lost, walking through the quiet
Carrying weight that no one ever sees
But even when the night feels like a riot
Something in me pulls me to believe

I’ve missed the mark, I’ve felt the sting
But I’m still here, I’ve got my wings
The page is blank, the ink is new
And I know now what I must do

So I’ll try again, start again
Even when the odds pretend
I can’t win, I won’t bend
I’ve got more than I had back then
Every fall, every fight
Leads me to the edge of light
I’m not done, won’t let it end
I’ll try again

They said the dream would break like paper
But they don’t know the fire in my hands
You can doubt me now, or doubt me later
I’ll keep moving—won’t need to defend

I’ve seen the storm, I’ve felt the burn
But I’ve got fuel for my return
The path is rough, the signs unclear
But I’m still holding to the wheel

So I’ll try again, start again
Even when the odds pretend
I can’t win, I won’t bend
I’ve got more than I had back then
Every fall, every fight
Leads me to the edge of light
I’m not done, won’t let it end
I’ll try again

One more breath, one more move
I’ve got nothing left to prove
This is mine, my second wind
I’ve got strength beneath my skin

Yeah, I’ll try again, start again
Even when the odds pretend
I can’t win, I won’t bend
I’ve got more than I had back then
Every fall, every fight
Brings me closer to the light
I’m not gone, I’m here to mend
So I’ll try again

Try again...
I’ll try again.

Try Again

Text:
[Verse 1: The World Today]
The rivers run slower, the lakes run dry,
The forests burn under an ashen sky.
They drill for profit, ignoring the cost,
Counting their riches, while futures are lost.

The glaciers weep, the oceans rise,
Yet they peddle their greed, spinning their lies.
"It’s not our fault," they shout and defend,
But how do they sleep as the world starts to end?

[Chorus]
Don’t saw the branch, the one we’re on,
When it’s gone, it’s gone—it won’t grow back, it’s done.
All the gold in the world won’t heal the pain,
Change your ways, or we’re circling the drain.
How many signs do you need to see?
This path is ruin—it’s no mystery.

[Verse 2: 20-25 Years Ahead]
The crops won’t grow in the poisoned soil,
The air is thick with carbon’s toil.
Cities swallowed by a hungry tide,
Millions displaced, with nowhere to hide.

Heatwaves scorch where the seasons twist,
Animals vanish from the extinction list.
The deserts march where green once grew,
And still, they’ll ask, "What could we do?"

[Chorus]
Don’t saw the branch, the one we’re on,
When it’s gone, it’s gone—it won’t grow back, it’s done.
All the gold in the world won’t heal the pain,
Change your ways, or we’re circling the drain.
How many signs do you need to see?
This path is ruin—it’s no mystery.

[Verse 3: What We Can Do]
Stop chasing profit, start planting seeds,
Listen to the Earth and her desperate needs.
Wind and sun can light the way,
But we must act—it starts today.

Hold leaders accountable, make them pay,
No more excuses, no more delay.
Education, innovation, unite the fight,
For our only home, for what’s still right.

(Guitar-Solo)

[Chorus]
Don’t saw the branch, the one we’re on,
When it’s gone, it’s gone—it won’t grow back, it’s done.
All the gold in the world won’t heal the pain,
Change your ways, or we’re circling the drain.
How many signs do you need to see?
This path is ruin—it’s no mystery.

[Bridge]
The corporations profit, the politicians spin,
But nature won’t care for their deadly sins.
The clock is ticking, we’re running out of time,
The future’s ours to save—or it’s the crime.

[Outro: A Plea for Change]
Don’t saw the branch where your children rest,
Make the future better, give them your best.
There’s still a chance, but we must unite,
To turn the darkness back into light.

Don’t Saw the Branch

Every step I took, I held my breath,
Never stepped on hearts to chase success.
If I shine now, it's not for show —
It’s the light I gave, not the things I owe.

Give give give give give more than take
No need to fake — just give more than take
Give give give give give more than take
That’s who I am, no mask to break.
Give give give give give more than take
Hearts don’t climb by stepping snakes —
Just give... more than take.

You see the title, not the tired nights,
Not the inner wars, not the silent fights.
You think I played the game, cut sharp and cold —
But I held hands, I broke no soul.
Yeah, maybe I’m high, but I’m still small,
Still that jeans shop girl in a mirrored mall.
Still feel the price tags, the shift bell’s chime,
Still giving like I did back in simpler time.

So let them think what they need to see,
But they don’t know what it cost to be me.
I'm not the story they love to paint —
I'm made of mercy, not of saints.

Give give give give give more than take
No need to fake — just give more than take
Give give give give give more than take
Don’t need a throne, don’t need a stake
Give give give give give more than take
Soul can rise without a break —
Just give... more than take.

"For what I wrote… maybe it hurts me
if that’s what people think of me.
But I’m not like that.
I give… rather than take.
I don’t see myself as a careerist…
Just a simple jeans sales girl."

Give give give give give more than take
The real ones feel it — no need to fake
Give give give give give more than take
Simple girl, with soul at stake
Give give give give give more than take
Yeah, just give... more than take

Give More Than Take
