[Silence]
[Instrumental, Acoustic Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro – Eerie Atmosphere]
The say all’s fair
(Billion-air)
[Soft Synth Pads, Distant Guitar Echoes, Sparse Drums, Percussion]
Air so thin
(Where did it go?)
All those dreams
(Floating slow)
Hey there…
(Billion-air)
[Verse 1 – Descent]
Numbers fall
(Wind through the hall)
Empty halls, hollow walls
(All that wealth now small)
Luxury turns to dust
(Friends betray your trust)
Whispers, deals, and hidden scores
(Sliding through closed doors)
Clocks tick loud
(Shadows crowd)
Echoes of a past parade
(Gone, decayed)
Chasing power, chasing fame
(Sparks a fire, fans the flame)
All you touched slips like sand
(Out of your hand)
[Pre-Chorus – Isolation]
Hey there…
(All alone)
Billion-air…
(Nothing’s grown)
Woe, regret…
(Forgotten tone)
[Build – Rising Tension]
[Synth Arpeggio Spiraling, Percussion Builds, Organ Dissonance]
Air gets thin, lungs burn dry
(Chasing highs, asking why)
Gold and zeros, vanished fast
(Fortune’s shadow never lasts)
[Chorus – Collapse]
Billion-air
(Drifting, fleeting)
All your wealth
(Disappearing)
Chasing clouds
(Out of reach)
Nothing left
(Just a breach)
Falling fast
(From your throne)
Empty crown
(All alone)
Billion-air
(Fade to gone)
[Bridge – Haunting Breakdown]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Whispered Vocals]
The parties end
(Only echoes)
The towers fall
(Empty meadows)
Friends and foes
(Blurs and tears)
Billion-air
(Disappears)
[Guitar Feedback, Slow Organ Swell, Distant Percussion]
[Verse 2 – Reflection]
Mirror cracks
(Who you were)
Shadows laugh
(Obscured)
All that you built
(Slipped away)
Nothing to hold
(Nothing to say)
No applause
(No more laws)
Just the wind
(Without a cause)
Every zero, every deal
(Never touched, never real)
[Pre-Chorus – Isolation 2]
Hey there…
(All alone)
Billion-air…
(Nothing’s grown)
Woe, regret…
(Forgotten tone)
[Chorus – Dissolution]
Billion-air
(Drifting, fleeting)
All your wealth
(Disappeating)
Chasing clouds
(Out of reach)
Nothing left
(Just a breach)
Falling fast
(From your throne)
Empty crown
(All alone)
Billion-air
(Fade to gone)
[Outro – Dissipating Into Thin Air]
[Soft Piano, Fading Guitar Harmonics, Whistling Wind, Subtle Synth Pad]
Air so thin
(Where did it go?)
All that gold
(Slipped below)
Echo fades
(Into the sky)
Billion-air (Where?)
(Let it fly)
