Retro Remix Vol. 2

Speeding Car Remix 2025

Lyrics:
I
I walk along
I see the crowds 
A fuss about 
whats on tv
but all i see is 
you
splashed across the headlines
flashing in the screens
Verse 1:
I walk along these city streets
I see the crowds, they’re all in sync
A fuss about what's on TV
But all I see is you and me

Pre-Chorus:
Splashed across the headlines
Flashing in the screens
They talk about the chaos
But you’re all I see

Chorus:
In this world of static noise
You’re the signal, you’re my choice
While they’re lost in all the scenes
You’re the real thing, in between

Verse 2:
Neon lights and billboards high
Faces blend, they pass me by
Caught up in the latest trend
But with you, it never ends

Pre-Chorus:
Splashed across the headlines
Flashing in the screens
They talk about the chaos
But you’re all I see

Chorus:
In this world of static noise
You’re the signal, you’re my choice
While they’re lost in all the scenes
You’re the real thing, in between

Bridge:
When the world fades to gray
And the stories

Echoes In You (Bean Remix)

Verse
In the storm's heart, I stand alone
With each beat, my resolve ignites

Chorus
Beneath a thousand stars, I bear the scars
In the chaos, I am the light

Verse
Through shadows, I make my way
With every breath, I seize control

Chorus
Beneath a thousand stars, I bear the scars
In the chaos, I am the light

Bridge
In echoes of the past, I find my truth
With every step, I claim my right

Chorus
Beneath a thousand stars, I bear the scars
In the chaos, I am the light

Vigilant  (A Thousand Stars, Gideon's Remix)
