Still Awake (Not Superman) by Night Shift Hero🌙
A thank-you track in return for “She Is a Wistaria Addict.” https://suno.com/song/64b6ada1-3d48-4878-a8eb-948b8571726e Written from my own imagination, inspired by the themes in his songs. [intro] [tension: t1] (nearly silent kick pulse) (low room tone, faint electrical hum) Still awake. Lights still on. No applause. Just time. --- [verse 1] [tension: t2] [style: calm, spoken, restrained] White light. Empty halls. Coffee cold, against the wall. No headlines. No call home. Just the hours I don’t own. Hands steady. Breath in line. Holding still what won’t be fine. No speech. No scene. Just staying in between. --- [pre-chorus] [tension: t3] No cape. No name. Still here. Still the same. --- [build-up] [tension: t4] HEARTBEAT. (low) HEARTBEAT. (no rise) (no fall) --- [chorus] [tension: t5] Still awake. Still awake. Someone has to stay. No flight. No crown. Just now. Just sound. --- [verse 2] [tension: t2] [style: slow rhythmic flow] Eyes burn red, but I know the way home. Two cups waiting. Not alone. Weak where I bend. Strong where you stand. We fill the cracks I don’t understand. No villains. Just strain. Bills and thoughts inside my brain. Night keeps moving. I don’t run. I stay until morning comes. --- [chorus] [tension: t5] Still awake. Still awake. Nothing won. Nothing saved. Still awake. Still awake. Enough for today. --- [bridge] [tension: t3] (breakdown: kick drops, breath and noise only) Breath in… Hold… Breath out… The silence keeps time. --- [final chorus] [tension: t5] No myth. No mask. Still here. Still awake. No hero. No claim. Just staying in the frame. --- [outro] [tension: t4] Lights dim. Shift ends. Not saved. Not failed. Just human. Still awake. (end with low reverb tail)
