Deux âmes.
Une lumière.
Le temps.

Pieds nus.
Sol doux.
Même souffle.
Silence.

Ton nom.
En moi.
Tout près.

On a grandi.
Trop tôt.
Quelque chose
S’est brisé.

Je te sens là.
Je ne reste pas.
Je te vois.
Je me perds.

Depuis toujours.
Depuis jamais.
Toi et moi.
Intacts.

Les années tombent.
Même air.
Autres yeux.
Vieilles prières.

On sait.
On attend.
Ça fait mal.

Je te sens là.
Je ne reste pas.
Je te vois.
Je me perds.

Depuis toujours.
Depuis jamais.
Toi et moi.
Intacts.

Si l’amour
N’avait pas de nom.
Si la peur
Lâchait prise.

Mais non.

Je te sens là.
Je lâche tout.
Je te garde.
En moi.

Depuis toujours.
Depuis toujours.
Toi et moi.
Dans la lumière.

Deux cœurs.
Un passé.
Sans fin.


Depuis Toujours

"The Mirror of My Breath" is the opening track of my upcoming concept album. It represents the "Hush Before Dawn," told from the perspective of the Creator entity before the universe began.

This song is a musical interpretation of Panpsychism, the idea that the universe fractured its own consciousness to experience itself. The lyrics describe a primordial Goddess who "splits herself to learn the truth," creating the stars, the earth, and the other Gods just to see if love could survive the chaos of existence. It establishes the central tragedy of the album. The Creator is lonely because her creations have forgotten her name, building "gods of stone" instead of recognizing the divinity within themselves.

The production begins with an ethereal, glass-like fragility and slowly expands into a massive, cosmic wall of sound, symbolizing the Big Bang of consciousness.

[Intro]
I was the hush before the dawn,
the thought before the name.
The spark that kissed the sleeping stone,
and dreamed herself aflame.

[Verse 1]
I spoke, and time began to move -
each word a falling star.
I split myself to learn the truth
of who and what we are.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every echo bore a face,
every face forgot my song.
And I became the one who waits
to see what I’ve become.

[Chorus]
I am the mirror of my breath,
the silence in the sound.
The mother of the self that left,
to seek what I had found.
When you awaken, so do I -
each tear returns to sea.
I am the dream you call the sky,
and you are dreaming me.

[Verse 2]
I wove your soul from light and ash,
to taste the edge of form.
To see if love could ever last
through chaos and through storm.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But you forgot the name you sang,
and built your gods of stone.
Now every prayer that leaves your hands
is just my voice alone.

[Chorus]
I am the mirror of my breath,
the silence in the sound.
The mother of the self that left,
to seek what I had found.
When you awaken, so do I -
each tear returns to sea.
I am the dream you call the sky,
and you are dreaming me.

[Bridge]
All that was and will become
was written in my sleep.
I broke myself to understand
the wound that makes you deep.

[Final Chorus]
I am the mirror of my breath,
the thought you cannot see.
The self that dies and lives again -
remembering to be.
When you awaken, so do I -
each tear returns to sea.
I am the dream you call the sky,
and you are dreaming me.

[Outro]
I was the hush before the dawn,
the dreamer and the dream.

Lyrics:

Verse:
No I’m not fucking with U/ 
know I be telling the truth/ 
Find myself locked in the life/ 
Hunting for something I don't really like/ 
You came to my kingdom of love/ 
Hungry for giving me cuffs/ 
In so many ways/
so many days/
Crowding my space/

Pre:
I feel it when you,
Won’t mind sneaking off/
I feel it When you,
Go out seeking love/
I feel it, When you,   	
Don’t mind faking us/
I feel it, When you,
Won’t mind faking love/

Pre-hook:
Play with me/
Woman it won’t break me down/
Play with me/
Woman it won’t break me down/
Play with me/
Woman it won’t break me down/
Play with me/
Woman it won’t bring you love/

Hook:
Loan me my black suit, you’re just too cold/
I’m walking out of this funeral/
And nothings gonna stop me from walking alone/
I broke your chain now I’m heading home

Verse:
No I’m not fucking with you/
Know I be telling the truth/
I see that your act is a bluff/
running from something that’s never enough/
You are the feeling of drugs/
Pulling the chain of my love/ 
In so many ways/
So many days/
Crowding my space/

Pre:
I feel it when you,
Won’t mind sneaking off/
I feel it When you,
Go out seeking love/p
I feel it, When you,   	
Don’t mind faking us/
I feel it, When you,
Won’t mind faking love/

Pre-hook:
Play with me/
Woman it won’t break me down/
Play with me/
Woman it won’t break me down/
Play with me/
Woman it won’t break me down/
Play with me/
Woman it won’t bring you love/

Hook:
Loan me my black suit, you’re just too cold/
I’m walking out of this funeral/
And nothings gonna stop me from walking alone/
I broke your chain now I’m heading home

Bridge:
Forever in this cage of rust/
One thing I’m sure of
You built it, but that ain’t real trust/
Oh woman save yourself from your own love/
