{granular bit-crushed harp dissolving into water drips,
raw acoustic
bleed intro} {528 Hz tuning hum,
bedroom studio intimacy} Four hundred and twelve,
Ophelia dans le courant,
Caught between the nightmare and the sovereign dream.
They mapped out my ending in a book I never read,
But I’m the one who decides what to do with the dread.
Matilde, are you watching?
Bianca, es-tu là? I’m just testing the weight of the water and
the air. If this is the fate,
if this is the line,
I’ll make it a symphony,
entirely mine. {wide ethereal harmonies,
water filling the room} I’M THE SOUVEREIGN REQUIEM,
FLOWING TO THE SEA!
IF I HAVE TO SINK,
THEN I’LL SINK AS ME!
IT’S NOT A SURRENDER,
C’EST UN CHANGEMENT D’ÉTAT,
I’M REWRITING THE CODE OF THE HANDS OF MY FATE!
For the good of all,
the water is deep,
With no harm to none,
I’m the promise I keep!
{soaring tragic yet triumphant,
massive vocal reverb, slow heavy beat} They want the tragedy,
they want the girl in the flowers,
But they don’t see the sovereign inside of the hours.
I’m not a victim of the script,
I’m the writer of the scene,
I’m just trying to navigate the space in between.
I’m functional? No. I’m honest.
Je suis une ride dans la marée,
There’s nowhere to go,
but there’s nowhere to hide.
So if I’m Ophelia,
then I’m Ophelia with a crown,
The queen of the current,
and I won’t let them drag me down!
{sharp cynical yet peaceful
vocal, heavy distorted trap bass,
ethereal harp} 'Right' and 'write' the code...
'Sight' and 'site' of the depths...
The little girl in red is the master of the deep,
Elle prend tous les secrets que les saules gardent!
One, two, three—the water is clear,
Four hundred twelve—I’m letting go of the fear!
{strips back to water and low hum,
then powerful belt echoing}
I’M THE SOUVEREIGN REQUIEM,
FLOWING TO THE SEA!
IF I HAVE TO SINK,
THEN I’LL SINK AS ME!
IT’S NOT A SURRENDER,
C’EST UN CHANGEMENT D’ÉTAT,
I’M REWRITING THE CODE OF THE HANDS OF MY FATE!
For the good of all,
the water is deep,
With no harm to none,
I’m the promise I keep!
{maximum intensity, ghostly massive harmonies}
100% Tiguidou.
Floating. Requiem. Tiguidou.
{flowing water and soft chime fade,
single
petal on water}
