“In the shadows where dreams meet,
A story unfolds through time.
16 bars, each a brief scene,
Life’s moments captured, never the same.

Faces appear in the dim light,
Hopes and fears dance quietly.
Whispers echo in empty halls,
Past ghosts answer the calls.

A journey of laughter and tears,
Threads tied tight over the years.
Every heartbeat tells a tale,
In these 16 bars, we rise and fall.

From city streets to the great unknown,
Every glance plants a seed.
Film reflects our true selves,
In the end, it’s the truth that completes us.”
