Lyrical Analysis of...
Skyline Promises
- **Skyline Promises**
- Verse 1
- Late night city, heartbeat like a drum,
- We ride through shadows, where the lost boys come from.
- You fold my cold nights into something warm,
- Turn my heavy shoulders to a place that’s calm.
- Mama told me keep my circle small, keep it tight,
- But you stayed when the rumors lit up the night.
- Paper dreams and fast lanes, we learned to dodge the cost,
- You my anchor when the skyline’s feelin’ lost.
- Pre Chorus
- Ain’t no diamond fix the cracks inside my chest,
- But when you breathe my name, it settles all the stress.
- We count our blessings under streetlight confessions,
- Holdin’ on to truth, not the flashy possessions.
- Chorus
- You my skyline promises, light on my roof,
- When the world go cold, you the honest proof.
- Hold me like you mean it, don’t let me go loose,
- Ride through storms with me, baby, that’s the truth.
- You my skyline promises, keepin’ me close,
- Love louder than sirens, softer than my ghosts.
- Verse 2
- Old friends turned strangers, some doors got closed,
- We learned to speak in silence, where the pain goes.
- I been countin’ losses, but I keepin’ you in wins,
- You mend the broken sentences my past begins.
- Your laugh cut through the static, clearer than a bell,
- I put my faith in us, watch the story swell.
- We trade the flashy nights for mornings full of trust,
- Turn the ashes of our doubts into gold and dust.
- Pre Chorus
- I ain’t perfect, got my faults like lines on my skin,
- But you love me messy —that’s where healings begin.
- When the pressure push, we bend, never break,
- We learn to build in pieces what the world tried to take.
- Chorus
- You my skyline promises, light on my roof,
- When the world go cold, you the honest proof.
- Hold me like you mean it, don’t let me go loose,
- Ride through storms with me, baby, that’s the truth.
- You my skyline promises, keepin’ me close,
- Love louder than sirens, softer than my ghosts.
- Bridge (rap —steady, confessional)
- I seen nights where hope was just a flicker in the dark,
- Friends switched up fast, left me with half a heart.
- You stayed like constellations, steady, never part,
- Turned my scattered pieces into something like art.
- I’ll protect that love with every breath I take,
- We outgrow the pain, learn from every mistake.
- They talk about the fame, but they don’t know the weight,
- You keep the real me safe when the cameras spray.
- Breakdown (soft)
- City hum in the distance, our whispers loud,
- We plant our roots in concrete, rise above the clouds.
- Promises in neon, vows in midnight prose,
- You the rhythm to my steps —my skyline rose.
- Final Chorus (full)
- You my skyline promises, light on my roof,
- When the world go cold, you the honest proof.
- Hold me like you mean it, don’t let me go loose,
- Ride through storms with me, baby, that’s the truth.
- You my skyline promises, keepin’ me close,
- Love louder than sirens, softer than my ghosts.
- Outro (quiet)
- Night folds, dawn peeks, we count the ways we chose,
- Still here, still standin’—you my skyline promises.
