Rain of Brass Petals (Three Voices Edit) Lyrics

I am the first
a shadow at the end
of the hallway
I spin the carousel
the laughter recedes away
my finger on your lips
i stole something precious

I am the second
alone in a faceless crowd
a human caught
in monochrome dreams
I scream to wake up
my voice drowns deep underground
only the dead can hear me,
see me

I am the third
a master
a sentinel of awakeness
I hold truth like a torch
shadows flicker before me
rapid eye follow the
chain of thought
until the silence ends

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is what I think...

The first is Alessa ("a shadow at the end of the hallway... I spin the carousel...I stole something precious (Cheryl)) The second is Mary...or perhaps Maria ("a human caught in monochrome dreams (the video tape?) I scream to wake up (This could point to Maria..) my voice drowns deep underground only the dead can hear me, see me" (Notice how Maria is never with you when you encounter Angela, Laura, or Eddie...))

The third is Heather("a sentinel of awakeness (realizing who she is?) I hold truth like a torch shadows flicker before me...")

But I also could see the third being Vincent.
