"Echoes of Existence" is a profound meditation on life, purpose, and the interconnectedness of all beings. The song opens with introspective questions that delve into the impact of relationships and experiences, setting the stage for a journey of self-discovery. As the protagonist stands in a sacred space, the echoes of the past resonate deeply within her, calling to her soul and awakening a sense of wonder.

The chorus captures the beauty of existence, celebrating the simple yet profound moments of watching stars twinkle and witnessing the sunrise. It reflects on the exhilaration of being alive and the accomplishments that shape one's identity, while also acknowledging the vast potential that lies ahead.

In the second verse, the lyrics convey a sense of humility, recognizing the individual's smallness in the grand tapestry of life, yet affirming their inherent worth. The contemplation of legacy and the transient nature of existence is poignantly expressed, emphasizing that while one may eventually fade from memory, their impact remains.

The bridge introduces a contemplative tone, as the protagonist gazes at the moon, contemplating mortality and the enduring beauty of the universe that will persist long after her flame has been extinguished. 

"Echoes of Existence" ultimately serves as a heartfelt reminder of the significance of living fully and authentically, capturing the essence of what it means to be alive and the lasting impressions we leave behind.

Echoes of Existence

All Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

This is my hometown,
Where we shared our dreams.
Where your smile lit the night,
And love was all we'd need.

Time has passed us by,
Life pulled us apart.
But the memories of you
Still echo in my heart.

My Hometown, Our Hometown!
The place where love began.
Coming back, it feels so right,
To hold your hand again tonight.

The streets we walked are calling,
The stars still shine the same.
I’m back here searching for you,
To reignite the flame.

My Hometown, Our Hometown!
The spark that never died.
Every road leads me to you,
Forever love, we can’t deny.

No more shadows, just the light,
I’ve come home to make things right.
If you’ll take my hand again,
We’ll rewrite the story, let love begin.

My Hometown, Our Hometown!
Where our hearts will always be.
Coming back, it feels so true,
Forever love, just me and you.

My Hometown, Our Hometown!
The place where we belong.
With every step, I feel the fire,
The love we've had all along.

My Hometown, Our Hometown!
Forever in my soul.
I’m here to stay, to hold you close,
Together, we’ll be whole.

I’ve come back, I’ve found my way,
This is our moment, let’s not delay.
Our Hometown, My Hometown
It’s you and me, love, here to stay!

My Hometown, Our Hometown!
Forever in my soul.
I’m here to stay, to hold you close,
Together, we’ll be whole.

I’ve come back, I’ve found my way,
This is our moment, let’s not delay.
Our Hometown, My Hometown
It’s you and me, love, here to stay!

My Hometown

Dark dreams

(Verse 1) The night is closing in, stars fade to black, I’m lost in the silence, can’t find my way back, Whispers of your voice linger in my mind, Every echo, every shadow, I’m running out of time.
Without you, I’m drowning in this empty space, Without you, I’m haunted by your missing face, What I’d give for a little bit of calm tonight, ‘Cause without you, I’m caught in this endless fight.
(Chorus) Falling into dark dreams, can’t escape this place, I’m reaching out for you, but there’s no trace, No comfort when I scream, no one hears my cries, I love you and I need you to bring me to life.
These dark dreams (dark dreams), pull me down below, No warmth when I shiver, no light to show, I love you and I need you, to end this pain, Bring me out of these dark dreams again.
(Verse 2) Been waiting for a sign, hoping you’d appear, Your absence is louder than the thoughts I fear, I’ve tried to move on, but I’m stuck in place, The memory of you, I just can’t erase.
Without you, I’m stranded in a stormy sea, Without you, the night keeps swallowing me, I’d trade it all for a moment of your light, Without you, I’m losing this endless fight.
(Chorus) Falling into dark dreams, can’t escape this place, I’m reaching out for you, but there’s no trace, No comfort when I scream, no one hears my cries, I love you and I need you to bring me to life.
These dark dreams (dark dreams), pull me down below, No warmth when I shiver, no light to show, I love you and I need you, to end this pain, Bring me out of these dark dreams again.
(Bridge) All these shadows, they look like you, Fading figures I can’t hold on to, The silence deafens, the void is deep, I’m awake but still, I’m lost in this sleep.
(Chorus) Falling into dark dreams, can’t escape this place, I’m reaching out for you, but there’s no trace, No comfort when I scream, no one hears my cries, I love you and I need you to bring me to life.
These dark dreams (dark dreams), pull me down below, No warmth when I shiver, no light to show, I love you and I need you, to end this pain, Bring me out of these dark dreams again.
(Outro) Ooh, ooh, ooh, these dark nights, Ooh, ooh, ooh, I need your light, Baby, set me free, from all of these, All of these dark dreams, haunting me.

Dark dreams

Jesus has Conquered

Text:
[Verse 1]
She danced in the glow of a borrowed light,
Living on crumbs from the edge of the night.
Famous by name, not by her own,
A shadow beside a man on a throne.

Flashes and whispers, a life on display,
But no one stayed when she slipped away.
A smile that hid what no one could fix,
Drowning alone in a glass full of tricks.

[Chorus]
Now she’s a last headline, fading fast,
A memory built not meant to last.
Two years on, no flowers remain,
Just silence echoing louder than fame.
She burned for the crowd, but they weren’t kind—
Now she’s a story they’ve left behind.

[Verse 2]
Rooms full of people, but no real friend,
Living a tale that had no end.
They called her wild, they called her weak,
But never asked what truth she’d speak.

Used and framed, just Z-list gold,
Her pain sold cheap, her soul turned cold.
A girl with dreams the world erased,
A bottle for comfort, a ghost to chase.

[Chorus]
Now she’s a last headline, fading fast,
A memory built not meant to last.
Two years on, no flowers remain,
Just silence echoing louder than fame.
She burned for the crowd, but they weren’t kind—
Now she’s a story they’ve left behind.

[Bridge]
There’s a cost to the camera’s cruel caress,
And she paid it all in loneliness.
Not a villain, not a saint—just lost,
In a world that trades truth for gloss.

[Outro]
So rest, forgotten girl of the light,
You fought your demons every night.
They took your voice, they took your name,
But you were more than sorrow and shame.

STILL LEARNING TO FLY

[Verse 1]
I took off young with a paper heart
Chasing dreams like shooting stars
Made mistakes I can't rewind
Left some good things far behind
But I’ve got scars that taught me grace
And lines that time won’t erase

[Pre-Chorus]
I've crashed a few times, burned in the fall
But each broken wing taught me it all

[Chorus]
I'm still learning to fly
Still reaching the sky
With the wind in my soul
And the clouds rolling by
I’ve been down, I’ve been bruised
But I never asked why
I just tighten my laces
And keep chasing the high
I’m not there yet, but I try
I’m still learning to fly

[Verse 2]
Built some walls, tore some down
Lost my voice, but found my sound
Traded gold for peace of mind
Left the noise and hurt behind
Sometimes it’s faith, sometimes it’s fight
Sometimes the dark leads to the light

[Pre-Chorus]
Every fall writes a part of my song
And every wrong turn helps move me along

[Chorus]
I'm still learning to fly
Still chasing the sky
With a fire in my chest
And a tear in my eye
I’ve been low, I’ve been lied to
But I won’t say goodbye
I keep walking through storms
Till I see the sunrise
I’m not there yet, but I try
I’m still learning to fly

[Bridge]
Wings don’t grow all at once
It takes faith, it takes trust
I may stumble, I may cry
But I’ll never stop reaching high

[Final Chorus]
Yeah, I’m still learning to fly
Still daring the sky
Through the thunder and rain
With my head held high
Every fall, every tear
Is just fuel for the climb
I’m becoming who I was
One breath at a time
No, I’m not there yet, but I try
I’m still learning to fly

[Outro]
Still learning to fly...
And I will 'til I die.

STILL LEARNING TO FLY

All Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

you've been on my mind and 
i cannot get enough of you

Girl, it’s true babe
All I think about is you
You're in my head on repeat
Got me dreamin’ in the middle of the week

I’ve been tryin’ to play it cool
But every time, I look like a fool
Your smile hits like summer heat
And now I’m knockin’ on your street

Can’t get enough of your love
Need to see you tonight, girl
Clear your plans, cancel that brunch
I need you close, I need your touch

Can’t get enough of your love
You’re the fix I’m always craving
Feelin’ wild, yeah, kinda dangerous
Girl, you’re the one I’m chasing

Ever since we met last month
I ain’t been the same, real talk
You're in my brain like a looped-up song
Feelin' this rush, and it’s hella strong

Never felt this way before
Got me texting and pacing the floor
Even my boys say I’m acting new
Told ‘em straight — yeah, it's all you

Can’t get enough of your love
Need to see you tonight, girl
Clear your plans, cancel that brunch
I need you close, I need your touch

Can’t get enough of your love
You’re the vibe I’m locked into
Ain’t no game, I’m not playin’
This love’s the realest thing I do

You laugh and I melt
Say my name, and I lose myself
Every move you make just hits
Girl, this ain’t no casual fix

Let’s ride this out, don’t hold back
I’m all in — that’s a fact
Call it crazy, call it fate
But I’m showin’ up at your gate

Can’t get enough of your love
Need to see you tonight, girl
Heart’s beatin’ like a drum
And I know you feel it, don’t play dumb
Can’t get enough of your love

You and me, we’re built to spark
Let’s run wild ‘til it’s way past dark
Girl, you’ve owned me from the start
Can’t get enough of your love
Need to see you tonight, girl

Can't Get Enough Of Your Love (Revised)

This early exposure laid the foundation for his lifelong love of music and set him on a path to become a multifaceted musician.
