Rémi Du Chemin - Blackout Anthem Lyrics

[Intro]
Static in my veins, power lines down
Born in darkness, emergency crown
First breath I took was in shadows deep
While the backup gen' kept my mama's heart on beat

[Verse 1]
Came into this world when the grid went black
Hospital lights flickering, ain't no turning back
Daddy in the hallway, lighter flame glow
Teaching me survival before I could even know
They profile him at checkpoints, but he stands tall
I inherited that strength through hospital walls
Banlieue nights taught me more than schools ever could
Where every blackout means the hood's misunderstood

[Chorus]
When the power's out, we shine the brightest
System failures make us the finest
Born in darkness, but we still rise
Blackout babies with electric eyes
(Electric eyes, electric eyes)

[Verse 2]
Classical keys mixed with street poetry
Arabic drums speaking ancestry
Every power cut's just another test
Proving we survive through this mess
They think darkness gonna keep us down
But we been glowing since they dimmed this town
Each disruption makes us stronger now
Breaking through the static, showing them how

[Bridge]
Static... silence... then we break through
Like emergency lights, we cutting right through
Can't dim our spirit, can't kill our groove
Even in darkness, watch how we move

[Outro]
Born in blackout, living in light
Emergency power running through the night
System's failing but we still exist
Through every darkness, we still persist
