Inspirations for "From A Hushed Ire"

The Concert for Bangladesh

While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Live)

Where law meets beauty, and design becomes destiny.

ELON-EAR-0416 - Loi de Cour

1218 Emmanuel based on Matthew 1_18-24 (2)

[Verse 1]
I’ve been walking with a tremor in my chest
Like the future’s trying hard to catch its breath
Every heartbeat is a warning sign
But somehow I’m still crossing every line

I’ve been learning how to stand inside the rain
Letting all the old weight fall away
Maybe breaking’s just a different start
A quiet reset for a tired heart

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need the path to be straight
I just need a reason to stay

[Chorus]
I’m halfway to the light
But it’s brighter than before
Every step I take at night
Doesn’t feel like a war
If the shadows pull me in
I won’t go without a fight
I’m not perfect, but I’m trying
And I’m halfway to the light

[Verse 2]
I’ve said sorry for the things I couldn’t name
Held myself together with a shaky frame
But I’m tired of apologizing for the fall
I’m done pretending I don’t feel at all

Now the echo of the past is getting small
And I’m louder than the voices in the wall
There’s a fire underneath the doubt
And it’s finally burning out

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not who I was last year
But I’m still learning not to fear

[Chorus]
I’m halfway to the light
But it’s brighter than before
Every step I take at night
Doesn’t feel like a war
If the shadows pull me in
I won’t go without a fight
I’m not perfect, but I’m trying
And I’m halfway to the light

[Bridge] (moody, big, reverb-heavy guitars)
Maybe hope’s just a spark
In the corner of a dark room
But if I guard it with my hands
It’ll grow, it’ll bloom

Maybe healing isn’t loud
Maybe it whispers in time
But I’m listening now
And the whisper feels like mine

[Final Chorus] (big lift, anthem)
I’m halfway to the light
And I’m not turning around
Every crack inside my life
Let the brightness bleed out
If the darkness calls me back
I’ll still rise into the night
I’m not perfect, but I’m trying
Yeah, I’m halfway to the light

[Outro]
One spark
One breath
One step at a time

Day Is Done
