Even Under Ashen Skies by Jay Jeong un Yang

 

I created a song using Suno titled 'Even Under Ashen Skies', and it was made as a gift for Yu Seong Ho. The lyrics were inspired by the manga '7 Seeds' by Tamura Yumi.

The artwork featured in the videos was created by me using ChatGPT.

 Lyrics:

Verse 1

Beneath a shattered sky
We learned to live before we learned our names
They told us to survive
To save our tears, to swallow pain
No one ever had to teach us
How the warmth inside would fade
Even a gentle word of kindness
Started feeling like a weight

Pre-Chorus

But still I want to believe
In hands that reach out first
So I stand here holding on
Though it hurts

Chorus

Even if this world is cruel
I will not turn my heart to stone
Even carrying all these wounds
I won’t choose hate as my own
This softness isn’t weakness
It’s the last light I defend
A gentle heart is not surrender
It’s how I live until the end

Verse 2

They said to stay alive
You’d have to throw your heart away
That everything you love
Would only slow you down someday
But I still remember clearly
A hand that helped me rise again
Eyes that cried beside my breaking
When I had nothing left to spend

Pre-Chorus

So I still choose to hold on
To every fragile part of me
Even when the world keeps telling me
To leave it all and flee

Chorus

Even if this world is cruel
I still want to remain human here
Even when I’m told not to trust
I’ll keep choosing you, my dear
If breaking makes me weak
Then this heart is strong instead
A gentle heart is not my burden
It’s the reason I’m not dead

Bridge

Maybe one day all of this
Will vanish without a trace
But if the warmth I gave away
Helped someone live one more day
Then that will be enough for me
That will be the truth I choose
That even in this ruined world
Kindness still has something to prove

Final Chorus

Even if this world is cruel
I will not disappear inside
The heart that bloomed in all this pain
Has every reason now to rise
In a world grown cold and empty
This is why I still remain
A gentle heart is not a weakness
It’s the miracle that stayed

Outro

Even if I lose it all
This heart I hold so tight
I will never let it fall
I will not give up the light
