Eclipse Of My Soul: A journey through melody and verse

Smoke In Ashes

(Verse 1)

Smoke in ashes, I am paralyzed by the imagination of your touch,

When I fought with my demons, unleashing all my worst fears.

Chains wrapped around my waist; you pull me close like your favorite toy,

Then threw me against the wall.

But I didn't die instantly, I watched as you approached cautiously.

You carried me in your arms, but sometimes you act as if I am your biggest enemy.

People say you're a bad influence; in my eyes, you're a lover under the stars.

We got a toxic love; I am hypnotized by your traits.

I remember that night crystal clear,

The smell of perfume still lingers in my clothes.

I am walking down the streets in your leather jacket,

Wearing your favorite sunglasses.

Will you still recognize me even from a crowd of people?

(Pre-Chorus)

Shadows whisper your name in the quiet of my mind,

A bittersweet melody I can't leave behind.

Leather and smoke, it's the thrill of the chase,

But love's a battlefield, and I've lost the race.

(Chorus)

We're a wildfire burning out of control,

But you've got my heart, you've got my soul.

It's a toxic love, a dangerous game,

But I'm addicted to the way you say my name.

Perfume and leather, stars in the night,

We're a mess, but baby, it feels so right.

(Verse 2)

Every touch is a scar, every kiss a regret,

But somehow, I'm tangled in the web you've set.

You're the fire that burns, but I crave the pain,

Caught in the storm, dancing in the rain.

Even in the crowd, your shadow calls my name,

A phantom touch ignites the flame.

Wearing your memories like a second skin,

But is this a battle I'll ever win?

Caught in the storm, dancing in the rain,

Your words are a weapon, cutting me deep.

Your voice is the lullaby that puts me to sleep,

Yet I run to the fire, not away from the harm,

You're the poison I drink, the air, I can't breathe.

(Bridge)

I'm the ghost of the girl you swore you'd keep,

A promise you made, but couldn't breathe.

We're a cycle of love, hurt, and despair,

But when you're around, nothing else compares.

I am lost in the chaos of your dangerous charm,

A sweet contradiction I'll never leave,

Somehow, I am tangled in the web you've set.

(Final Chorus)

We're a wildfire burning out of control,

But you've got my heart, you've got my soul.

It's a toxic love, a dangerous game,

But I'm addicted to the way you say my name.

Perfume and leather, stars in the night,

We're a mess, but baby, it feels so right.

(Outro)

So tell me, if I walk away tonight,

Will you follow me, or dim the light?

This toxic love's a haunting refrain,

But I'll keep coming back to the fire again,

All I care about now is my reputation.

Backstory: This ICONIC song is inspired by reputation of Taylor, it's my all time favorite album of hers, I love that album so much. It's the greatest album of her career. Then last night I came up with the lyrcis of verse 1 and worked on the song in morning. The theme of repuation is about love, friendship, empowerment, vulnerabily, public image and pain not just revenge taken. Also, this is my very first Electropop and R&B genre song, therefore hope u guys love it :D
