[Verse 1]  
Flickers of you haunt these shattered halls,  
Cold light through blinds; I’m drowning in the fall.  
Whispered secrets echo where we once lay,  
Now shadows choke the words I couldn’t say.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Rou, I’m tethered to the ghost of what we were,  
Fractured hopes in every silent blur.  

[Chorus]  
This cruel game stole the warmth right from my veins.  
Rou, your name’s a blade I chase through endless rain.  
I’m broken on the edge of wanting you again,  
Lost in the ache, I’m bleeding for Rou.  

[Verse 2]  
Night air tastes of all the things we lost;  
Your absence like a knife, it cuts across.  
I trace your name in frost upon my skin,  
Each letter burns a wound I’ll never mend.  

[Pre-Chorus – Variation]  
Rou, your echo’s all that stirs my hollow heart;  
I’m falling into pieces torn apart.  

[Chorus – Variation]  
This cruel game stole the warmth right from my veins.  
Rou, your name’s a blade I chase through endless rain.  
I slip beneath the weight of all I can’t contain,  
Drowning in the ache, I’m bleeding for Rou.  

[Bridge]  
Walls close in on truths we left unsaid.  
If tears could ransom, I’d pay with every breath.  
Rou, I’d walk through fire just to feel you near,  
But fear remains the final voice I hear.  

[Final Chorus – Reprise]  
This cruel game stole the warmth right from my veins.  
Rou… your name’s the echo in my hollow frame.  
And I’ll wait in darkness, hoping you remain,  
The ghost I’m still bleeding for — Rou.

Cruel Game

Never Ends” is an uplifting anthem about the kind of friendship that outlasts everything — time, distance, fame, and storms. 💫

From late-night talks and shared dreams to laughing like kids in the rain, this song celebrates the unbreakable bond between true friends. It's about showing up for each other through every season, every change — and never having to pretend.

If you've got that one person who's always been there — this one's for you. 🌊👯‍♂️

Never Ends

A delicate blend of romance and rhythm, Bossanova Collection Vol. 1 brings together the tender voices of Amélie, Camille, Aurélie, and Summer in a timeless journey through love’s many shades. Mostly sung in French, with two tracks in English and one luminous Mandarin–French by Summer, the album flows like an intimate café conversation on a quiet evening. From the moonlit elegance of Sous la Lune to the breezy charm of Beneath the Paris Sky and the cross-cultural allure of 夜空中 / Dans l’Air du Soir, each song captures the warmth, nostalgia, and gentle sway of modern bossanova. Perfect for nights of slow dancing, morning coffee rituals, or simply letting your heart drift.

Dans Chaque Souffle

Tout près de toi je me perds

The album creates a complete emotional narrative arc from the heights of love, through the darkness of revenge, to the depths of loss and final cathartic acceptance.

07. No Forgiveness

Captain Youk

Steel boots on the solar sand,
Neon blood on my weathered hands.
I ride the edge of time and flame,
No past to claim, no one to blame.

They whisper tales in the satellite rain,
Of a ghost in gear, breaking every chain.

Captain Youk, burning through the void,
Jet-black heart they couldn’t destroy.
Rogue of the stars, outlaw of fate,
I drive alone, but I never break.

City lights flicker in my rearview soul,
AI prophets lost control.
I hacked the sky, rewrote the code,
Now freedom rides this hyperspeed road.

Galaxies bend where I make my stand,
No crown, no crew
just a blaster in hand.
They tried to erase me, 
but I became myth,
A legend etched in cosmic drift.

Captain Youk, thunder in the chrome,
Built my throne where rebels roam.
Time won’t hold me, fate won’t bind,
I’m the glitch they’ll never find.

Captain Youk

Shadows of Regret

Verse 1
You thought the silence kept you safe
But secrets always find their way
The mirror shows what lies can’t hide
The weight you carry’s deep inside

Pre-Chorus
Now the moment’s catching up with you
Nothing left but what is true

Chorus  
You can’t escape the price you choose
Every step’s a debt you’ll lose
The past returns, the mask removed
There’s no escape from shadows of regret

Verse 2
The words you whispered fade to dust
But promises decay with rust
No comfort in the games you play
The truth is all that stays

Pre-Chorus
Now the moment’s catching up with you
Nothing left but what is true

Chorus
You can’t escape the price you choose
Every step’s a debt you’ll lose
The past returns, the mask removed
There’s no escape from shadows of regret
 
Bridge
All the doors you tried to close
Open wide, the story shows
Time won’t heal what’s been betrayed
Only truth remains

Final Chorus
You can’t escape the price you choose
Every step’s a debt you’ll lose
The past returns, the mask removed
There’s no escape from shadows of regret
