Zylvow - Northern Lights, Broken Mirrors Lyrics

[Intro]
Cold nights in Åland, yeah, Northern Lights above
Caught between two worlds, but neither shows me love

[Verse 1]
Pristine houses, perfect lawns, that's where I came from
But these streets got different rules, that's where I belong
Dad's blueprints and mom's books couldn't save me
From the truth that Sofia showed, tried to play me
Posted up in group chats, laughing at my flow
"Rich boy trying to rap," that's all they want to know
F*ck your validation, I've seen both sides clear
Engineering legacy, but trap beats in my ear

[Chorus]
Lights in the sky, beauty in the dark
Tearing me apart, but this pain is art
Two-faced friends with their perfect smiles
While I'm building bridges over troubled miles
(Yeah, yeah, over troubled miles)

[Verse 2]
Maritime samples mixed with 808s
Club nights blur into morning breaks
Looking in the mirror, who the f*ck am I?
Product of perfection learning how to fly
Sofia thought she knew me, called me fake
But authenticity's the mask I had to break
Middle class manners hiding street dreams
Nothing's what it seems, nothing's what it seems

[Bridge]
Caught between the harbors and the trap house
Everything my parents built, I'm burning down
Not a f*cking puppet in your perfect town
Northern Lights guide me when I'm losing ground

[Verse 3]
Every mock accent, every sideways look
Every page torn from my perfect book
Turn trauma to power, that's what I choose
Got nothing left to prove, nothing left to lose
Father's precision, mother's discipline
Couldn't prepare me for the state I'm in
But I'm finding beauty in this fractured space
Where imperfection shows its real face

[Outro]
Cold nights in Åland, yeah, Northern Lights above
Finally found myself in what they're scared of
