Lyrics
[intro]
[verse]
I walk the wire of doubt and fear
My smile shines but no one hears
Promises like fading light
Turn to shadows in the night
Late thoughts bleed like open scars
Moon hums blues beneath the stars
Walls I built from broken dreams
Painted gold to hide the seams
[pre-chorus]
I learned to breathe in silent cries
To paint the calm in practiced lies
But every heart knows wars within
When hope is thin and light grows dim
[chorus]
I stand between the stars and scars
Reaching out to who we are
Though the dark screams loud and clear
I may break but still I rise
Light will flood through cracked disguise
Love still whispers in my ear
[verse]
I kissed the edge of letting go
Carried weights you'll never know
Tears I stored behind my sight
Learned to drown in my own light
They said time would heal the ache
Time just taught my knees to shake
Yet I stand through fear and pain
Hope remains though storms remain
[pre-chorus]
I made peace with mirrored eyes
Even when they turned aside
Every loss became my guide
Every dusk taught me to try
[chorus]
I stand between the stars and scars
Reaching out to who we are
Though the dark screams loud and clear
I may break but still I rise
Light will flood through cracked disguise
Love still whispers in my ear
[bridge]
If I fall let me fall free
If I bleed let it be me
I don't chase perfection's throne
I just need to not be alone
Take my fears my flickering flame
Every shape my pain became
If dawn forgets to break anew
Tonight I'll run through skies of blue
[chorus]
I stand between the stars and scars
Now I see how far we are
Through the fire through the doubt
Every crack begins to gleam
Broken turns to bright esteem
Love is pulling me back out
[outro]

Konsep Musik “Between the Stars and Scars”
“Between the Stars and Scars” adalah lagu bernuansa emosional dan reflektif yang mengangkat perjalanan batin seseorang yang hidup di antara luka dan harapan. Lagu ini menekankan kejujuran perasaan—bukan tentang kemenangan besar, melainkan tentang keberanian untuk bertahan.
Dibalut genre Alternative Pop / Cinematic Indie Ballad (dengan opsi versi unplugged yang intim), aransemen musik dibangun progresif: dari sunyi dan rapuh, menuju kesadaran diri, hingga harapan yang tenang. Setiap bagian lagu memberi ruang pada emosi untuk bernapas, dengan vokal yang tulus dan tidak berlebihan.
Secara keseluruhan, lagu ini menyampaikan pesan bahwa luka tidak selalu harus disembuhkan untuk bermakna. Berdiri di antara kegelapan dan cahaya pun sudah menjadi bentuk kekuatan dan kejujuran diri.
