Az eredeti szöveget 2008 környékén magyarul írtam, prózaként, amiben néha rímelő sorok keletkeztek. Aztán idén elkészült a vers formája, amit megzenésítettem az AI segítségével több verzióban (epic, rock, orchestral stb). Ez az angol változata, kis groovos lüktetéssel.
Not my shadow.
Not my silence.
But me.
What do I still hope for?
The question stayed
inside the melody,
an endless circle
I can never leave.
I follow where it leads,
until I lose myself.
I no longer mind
If I fall to the ground.
I lie here.
I can't feel
the cold beneath me
anymore.
I lift my face,
waiting for the promise of rescue.
From you.
You're coming closer.
I watch you find me.
You see me.
You step nearer.
A shadow crosses your face.
Then...
you step over me.
Slowly I raise my head.
I follow your footsteps.
You'll turn around...
won't you?
But nothing happens.
My eyes still follow you.
My feet would run,
but only my gaze
can reach you now.
You're already far away.
Maybe
you don't even know
who I am anymore.
Whenever I tried to speak,
one word was enough
to silence me.
Yet once...
you reached
all the way
to my thoughts.
What do I still hope for?
That one day
you'll see me again.
Not my shadow.
Not my silence.
But me.
The one
you didn't just look at...
you truly saw.
The one
whose thoughts
you wanted to hear.
What do I still hope for?
That one day
you'll see
me again.
My words
fall back into me.
Only silence remains.
Everything
left unspoken.
Tell me...
where did that look disappear?
The one
That didn't just watch...
it saw.
What do I still hope for?
That one day
you'll see me again.
Not my shadow.
Not my silence.
But me.
The one
you didn't just look at...
you truly saw.
If you ever
turn around...
I'll see it
in your eyes...
whether
you still
see me.
