"REPLY" was born from an idea I've lived through myself, and one that many people have probably experienced at some point. Sometimes there comes a moment when you already know the answer. Not because it was spoken. Precisely because it never was. When someone hesitates for a long time between two paths, between two people, a part of me eventually understands what that hesitation means. My mind already knows that if I were truly an obvious choice, the question probably wouldn't exist anymore. That's when a boundary appears. In this song, I end up saying: "Don't text me again." It's not a threat. It's not anger. It's not even a way of punishing someone. It's simply the moment when I finally accept the answer I never received. But that's also where the entire contradiction of "Reply" lives. Because at the exact moment I draw that line, another truth continues to exist in silence. My mind already knows the negative answer. But my heart also knows the other one. The one that requires no reflection. The one that doesn't compare. The one that doesn't place anyone in competition. The one that doesn't hesitate. The obvious choice. That duality is what inspired me. An idea that reminds me of the famous line from Le Cid: "Go, I do not hate you." The words say one thing. The subtext says another. When I sing "Don't text me again," I accept that reality's answer is probably no. But somewhere between the lines, I'm still whispering: "Don't text me if you're still hesitating." "Don't text me if you're still comparing." "Don't text me if you're still searching." A part of me is convinced it already knows the answer. But whether that answer will ever exist in reality is another story. ======================================== #VERSE He leaves you waiting on replies Then says he just needs space sometimes I won't say he's a narcissist But he's checking every box on the list You keep collecting red flags Still saying every warning sign's alright Everybody sees the signs, bigger than hashtags Except the one who's living it tonight #PRE-CHORUS Every time you tell the story The ending never really changes Still you're looking for the glory In something that feels strange #CHORUS Why do you text me and never really reply? Your WhatsApp views are always instant, don't lie Why do your messages feel so programmed? I know you'd be better with me, not only on Instagram I know I could give you what you need But if all our moments together don't plant the seed You still can't see the difference between my love and his pain I won't block your name, don't text me again #VERSE One good weekend buys more time For old excuses dressed to shine You call it working through hard times I call it crossing warning signs A few green flags appear again Just enough to pull you back in pain Every time you're ready to leave Something makes you stay and grieve #PRE-CHORUS Another promise, another reason Another chance to make a new season Yet the answer you're protecting Keeps you awake at night, bleeding #CHORUS Why do you text me and never really reply? Your WhatsApp views are always instant, don't lie Why do your messages feel so programmed? I know you'd be better with me, not only on Instagram I know I could give you what you need But if all our moments together don't plant the seed You still can't see the difference between my love and his pain I won't block your name, don't text me again #BRIDGE Take his hand Take mine Choose the future you believe in But if your heart still needs time To decide between us tonight Then the answer isn't hidden It's already been given #OUTRO So choose him If that's where your feelings stay I'd rather lose you completely Than watch you hesitate Choose him And let the answer finally be Because the right love never wonders Who it's meant to bemore

I don't want to see a thing I don't want to see a thing The dusty glasses resting on my face You say it's just my laziness and disgrace? Dirty and blurry view I closed my eyes and looked away from you The trendy frames that are light and thin Shallow view of life from deep within All the things about me Don't you ever frame me selfishly Losing all the sight Ah, in this world today Even your own face Twisted out of shape I just want to be bare Throw it all away into the air Left and right, up and down No way out I cannot move at all now Get me out of here right now Before I break break down In the hot bath steam Just like taking off my glasses You are far away Fading out today Glasses clouded in white and gray Show the temperatures we display Love has grown so cold Even if I wipe it off and fold Trendy virtual frames you see Fake reality made for me I don't need a filter Do not force that onto me, ever Hiding things I hate Ah, out of my sight Showing only lies Living in the night I know that is how it goes Yeah I already know Here and there, everywhere Nothing's wrong No one's to blame anymore Right answer is gone Nowhere to find in this war In the deepest sleep Just like taking off my glasses The world and my soul Fading out of control You say a clearer view Is happiness for you If we loved in the blur Staying just as we were It would be okay Broken glasses fall On the floor Barefoot I'll walk through the door Left and right, up and down Nowhere to run And I am fine with it all Covered in the mud Look at me standing tall In the blurry view I can only see you Glasses on the floor I want to see you again The one that is insane Is this world in the rain Glasses on my face The one that is insane Is this world in the rain Glasses give me pain Left and right, up and down Nowhere to run And I am fine with it all Covered in the mud Look at me standing tall In the blurry view I can only see you Glasses on the floor I want to see you again The one that is insane Is this world in the rain Glasses give me painmore

"I Stay Anyway" is a heartfelt song about choosing love even when life gets messy, painful, and uncertain. It tells the story of standing by someone through struggles, and difficult days—not because it's easy, but because they're worth fighting for. The song captures the kind of loyalty that stays when others would walk away, turning hardship into a promise: no matter what comes, I'm still here, and I stay anyway.more
