Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Female)
I thought I had another breath,
Another chance to second-guess.
But seconds don’t ask permission,
They just rewrite your position.
(Male)
I was mid-sentence, mid-belief,
Still trusting what I couldn’t see.
Then time collapsed into a stare,
And I realized — there was no time to prepare.
[Pre-Chorus]
No slow descent, no warning flare,
Just everything changing mid-air.
[Chorus]
(Both – explosive)
No time to prepare — it hit too fast,
No shield, no brace, no future past.
No time to prepare — wide awake,
Watching the moment everything breaks.
No time to prepare — I’m standing there,
Still breathing through the shock and glare.
[Verse 2]
(Female)
I search the signs I didn’t miss,
But truth arrived like a closed fist.
I trusted calm, I trusted tone,
Didn’t know calm could feel like home.
(Male)
They say “you learn to see it coming”,
But some collisions don’t announce them.
There’s no rehearsal for despair
When there was never time to prepare.
[Pre-Chorus]
If fate exists, it doesn’t wait,
It doesn’t knock, it detonates.
[Chorus]
(Both – heavier)
No time to prepare — it hit too fast,
No shield, no brace, no future past.
No time to prepare — wide awake,
Watching the moment everything breaks.
No time to prepare — I’m still there,
Learning how to stand in open air.
[Bridge]
I didn’t run.
I didn’t choose.
I just woke up inside the news.
[Final Chorus]
(Both – apotheosis)
No time to prepare — hear the sound,
A life reloading on the ground.
No time to prepare — I survive,
But I don’t live the same life.
No time to prepare…
No time to prepare — hear the sound,
A life reloading on the ground.
No time to prepare — I survive,
But I don’t live the same life.
No time to prepare…
[Outro]
(Whispered, together)
Still here.
Still shaking.
