[Verse 1]
Metronome's steady click, my heartbeat out of time
Years of perfect posture, years of falling in line
Ivory keys beneath my fingers, cold and pristine
But my soul's got other plans, if you know what I mean
[Pre-Chorus]
They say "Back straight, chin up, play it by the book"
But these hands are tired of being told just how to move
Yeah, these hands are tired of being told just how to move
[Chorus]
This is my soft rebellion
Breaking free without a sound
No need to scream or shout it
Just letting my truth pour out
My soft rebellion
Breaking chains note by note
They can keep their golden rules
I'm finding my own road home
[Verse 2]
Classical training running through my veins
But my spirit's singing blues in the pouring rain
Sheet music scattered on my bedroom floor
Their perfect lines can't hold me anymore, no more
[Bridge]
Watch me bend these melodies
Till they feel like poetry
Every wrong note feels so right
When I'm playing from inside
Damn their expectations
And their sacred limitations
[Chorus]
This is my soft rebellion
Breaking free without a sound
No need to scream or shout it
Just letting my truth pour out
My soft rebellion
Breaking chains note by note
They can keep their golden rules
I'm finding my own road home
[Outro]
Let them talk about technique
While I'm finding my release
In this quiet revolution
I'm becoming who I'm meant to be
