Open the Gate—Obsidian AI
D
Dineo Nkhelle
emotional
small delay throws on key words
bright and emotional mix
Pop ballad with a steady mid-tempo pulse
light kick and piano in verse
pre-chorus lifting with string swells and rising toms
chorus opening into stacked harmonies and handclap accents; intimate close-mic lead with doubled choruses
reversed swells into each hook

[Verse 1]
I carried your names
Like stones in my coat
Every step felt heavy
Every room felt cold
The mirror knew me
But it looked away
I wore my hurt so long
It learned my face
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m loosening my hands
From what held me down
I’m letting the dark
Fall out and drown
[Chorus]
Open the gate
I’m coming through
Open the gate
I’m done with you
No more chains
No more old rain
I’m walking out
I’m walking clean
(Open the gate)
(Open the gate)
[Verse 2]
The old night letters
Still know my door
Names I never spoke of
Live on the floor
But I found a fire
Under all that ash
It does not ask me
To go back
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m loosening my hands
From what held me down
I’m letting the dark
Fall out and drown
[Chorus]
Open the gate
I’m coming through
Open the gate
I’m done with you
No more chains
No more old rain
I’m walking out
I’m walking clean
(Open the gate)
(Open the gate)
[Bridge]
If I was lonely
I was not lost
If I was broken
I can still cross
I lay it down now
The blame, the ache
I leave the prison
I leave the weight
[Final Chorus]
Open the gate
I’m coming through
Open the gate
I’m done with you
No more chains
No more old rain
I’m walking out
I’m walking clean
Open the gate
I’m breathing new
Open the gate
I’m made brand new
(Open the gate)
(Open the gate)
I carried your names
Like stones in my coat
Every step felt heavy
Every room felt cold
The mirror knew me
But it looked away
I wore my hurt so long
It learned my face
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m loosening my hands
From what held me down
I’m letting the dark
Fall out and drown
[Chorus]
Open the gate
I’m coming through
Open the gate
I’m done with you
No more chains
No more old rain
I’m walking out
I’m walking clean
(Open the gate)
(Open the gate)
[Verse 2]
The old night letters
Still know my door
Names I never spoke of
Live on the floor
But I found a fire
Under all that ash
It does not ask me
To go back
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m loosening my hands
From what held me down
I’m letting the dark
Fall out and drown
[Chorus]
Open the gate
I’m coming through
Open the gate
I’m done with you
No more chains
No more old rain
I’m walking out
I’m walking clean
(Open the gate)
(Open the gate)
[Bridge]
If I was lonely
I was not lost
If I was broken
I can still cross
I lay it down now
The blame, the ache
I leave the prison
I leave the weight
[Final Chorus]
Open the gate
I’m coming through
Open the gate
I’m done with you
No more chains
No more old rain
I’m walking out
I’m walking clean
Open the gate
I’m breathing new
Open the gate
I’m made brand new
(Open the gate)
(Open the gate)
