Rémi Du Chemin - Emergency Broadcast Lyrics

[Intro]
Static crackles, signal's weak
First breath taken, system breach
This is an emergency broadcast, stay tuned
Born into chaos, full moon

[Verse 1]
White walls, fluorescent lights flickering
Mom's screaming, machines beeping, time's ticking
Dad's outside, they won't let him in
'Cause his accent's thick and his skin's too different
F*ck their system, we persist and exist
Through the noise and the static, we still resist
Got my grandma's stories running through my veins
Colonial ghosts still rattling these chains

[Chorus]
This is an emergency broadcast (hey)
Breaking through the noise, breaking through at last
Signal's cutting in and out, but we survive
They can't silence us, we're too alive
Emergency broadcast (what?)
Born into static but we'll outlast
Every system trying to tune us out
This is how we turn the volume loud

[Verse 2]
Inherited wisdom from the old guard
Stories whispered when the lights get dark
Caroline's playing on a broken radio
While I'm emerging from the undertow
Blood memory stronger than their protocols
Ancient rhythms breaking through these hospital walls
They tried to classify us, put us in a box
But our frequency's free, yeah, we pick our own locks

[Bridge]
(Static interference)
Can you hear me through the white noise?
Carrying messages in my newborn voice
Fatima's wisdom, grandma's prayers
Survival coded in my DNA, I swear

[Verse 3]
Born between cultures, living in between
First cry was a protest, know what I mean?
They can't decode our transmissions
'Cause our language is soul, beyond their definitions
Emergency state but we been here before
Each generation opening another door
Signal's getting stronger as I find my way
Through the static of this modern-day

[Outro]
This is an emergency broadcast
Last transmission, but it won't be the last
Born survivors, we keep breaking through
Static can't kill what's already true
(Signal fades)
