Rémi Du Chemin - Sirens & Silence Lyrics

[Intro]
Static in the air, red and blue flashbacks
Daddy stood so tall that night, kept his pride intact
Sirens wailing like they know our names
Power's out but we still got our flames

[Verse 1]
Hands against the wall, but his spine was steel
Badge lights flickering, showing what's real
They thought they had him cornered, but they didn't know
Every shadow cast just made our light grow
Mama watching from the window, holding back tears
Teaching me that strength ain't about these fears
Static on the radio, dispatch calls
But they can't dispatch what's inside these walls

[Chorus]
When the sirens scream, we make poetry
When they try to dim us, we glow differently
Power's out but we still burning bright
Making art from darkness, turning wrong to right

[Verse 2]
Sampling pain, mix it with the bass
Every hurt note got a story to trace
Classical keys meet the street's heartbeat
Father's words flowing through concrete
They can stop the power, cut the grid
Can't kill the rhythm living where we live
Each verse I spit's a generator humming
Keep the lights on when they see us coming

[Bridge]
Static... silence... static... rise
Stories never die, they just amplify
Through the noise, through the night
Through the bullshit, we still shine bright

[Verse 3]
Every profile's just another track
Every stop and search adds to the stack
Of poems and beats we keep in our chest
Transform the trauma, that's how we test
Not a victim's tale, this is victory
Converting pain to electricity
Father's voice echoes through time
His dignity turned these words to rhymes

[Outro]
When the power's out, we still glowing
When they silence us, we keep flowing
Static can't stop what we become
When sirens fade, our songs still run
