Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams, I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light, I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never shared And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools" said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words, like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls In tenement halls" And whispered in the sound of silence

In a world where dreams collide, Meihemi's where we take our ride, With a shovel in my hand, and a heart so free, I dig deep for the memories, come and roll with me. 2eazy rides on his bicycle, Through the streets, where our stories flow, Veppe's laughing in the twilight glow, Together we weave, through the highs and the lows Oh, Meihemi, where we find our way, In the shadows, we dance and sway, Take my hand, let the journey unfold, In the heart of the night, our tales are told Whispers of laughter, echoes of pain, Underneath these stars, we rise again, With every shovel full, we build our dreams, In this roleplay world, nothing's as it seems. So when the night falls, and the lights fade away, We'll keep on searching for a brand new day, In the heart of Meihemi, we’ll find our soul, Together, forever, we'll be whole. Oh, Meihemi, where we find our way, In the shadows, we dance and sway, Take my hand, let the journey unfold, In the heart of the night, our tales are told. So let's ride together, my friends so dear, With a shovel and love, we'll conquer our fear, In Meihemi, our spirits will thrive, In this world we've crafted, we feel so alive
(Verse 1) From the moment we met, you stole my heart, A spark in your eyes, it set me apart, For months I’ve been lost in thoughts of you, A love so deep, it feels so true. I never saw this coming, love’s surprise, When I was losing hope, you lit up the skies, Now I can’t imagine life without you near, In every moment, you make it clear. (Pre-Chorus) You’re the laughter in my day, The strength that guides me through the gray, With your heart so pure, and your touch so kind, I’ve found a love I thought I’d never find. (Chorus) I’ll love you forever, in all that you are, Through every high and every scar, You deserve the world, every dream come true, And I’ll spend my life making it all for you. In your heart, I see my home, With you, I’ll never be alone, Together, we’ll face the world outside, I’ll spend my life by your side. (Verse 2) You open up, and I listen close, Your fears, your dreams, everything you know, I promise you, I’ll never let you go, I see the beauty in your soul. Your strength, your humor, how you shine, You lift me up every single time, And when the world feels too much to bear, I’ll be your rock, I’ll always be there. (Pre-Chorus) Your love is steady, it’s built to last, A future brighter than the past, And though we’ve been through pain and strife, You and me, we’ve found our life. (Chorus) I’ll love you forever, in all that you are, Through every high and every scar, You deserve the world, every dream come true, And I’ll spend my life making it all for you. In your heart, I see my home, With you, I’ll never be alone, Together, we’ll face the world outside, I’ll spend my life by your side. (Bridge) We’ll build a future, hand in hand, A family, a life, a love so grand, Through all the highs and all the lows, With you, I’m home, where love grows. (Chorus) I’ll love you forever, in all that you are, Through every high and every scar, You deserve the world, every dream come true, And I’ll spend my life making it all for you. In your heart, I see my home, With you, I’ll never be alone, Together, we’ll face the world outside, I’ll spend my life by your side. (Outro) Forever by your side, that’s where I’ll be, Through all that’s to come, just you and me, With every step, we’ll make it through, I’ll spend my life loving you.
[male] Be near me when my light is low, When shadows deepen, winds won’t blow. When dreams unravel, thread by thread, And hope’s faint whispers fill my head. When every step feels like a fall, And silence echoes through it all. Be near me then, and hold me tight, A star to guide through endless night. [Chorus] Be near me now, when the world turns away, When my strength has faded, my heart gone astray. Oh, Oh, Oh Oh... Let your presence mend what’s broken in me, A light in the dark, a safe harbor at sea. [male] When blood creeps slow and nerves betray, And life itself seems far away. When every thought, a weight, a stone, And I am left to stand alone. Be near me when the voices fade, When shadows of rejection invade. Stay close, though I am bruised and torn, A spark remains where love was born. Chorus: Be near me now, when the world turns away, When my strength has faded, my heart gone astray. Oh, Oh, Oh Oh... Let your presence mend what’s broken in me, A light in the dark, a safe harbor at sea. [Male] For even when all wheels are slow, A deeper truth begins to grow. Through pain, through loss, the soul can rise, If hope stays near, it never dies. [Male] Be near me when my light is low, And I shall find the strength to go. Through every shadow, every scar, Hope will guide me, near or far.
[Verse] It was just another night The city lights were shining bright I didn't see you coming through The road was clear I never knew [Verse 2] Then in the blink of an eye A flash a scream I hear a cry All that we were it disappeared And I'm left standing with my fear [Chorus] City lights they fade away Memories of yesterday All that's left is what we share In the glow of broken stares [Verse 3] Walking streets where shadows grow Whispers haunt the paths we know Echoes of a distant time When our hearts were intertwined [Bridge] Searching for a place to hide From the truth we can't deny Broken dreams beneath the glow Of the lights that used to show [Chorus] City lights they fade away Memories of yesterday All that's left is what we share In the glow of broken stares
