Ilya Rozanov - Say My Name In Private

Описание: What would Ilya Rozanov sing if he all of a sudden decided to go for a music career, to shout what he feels in a song instead of on the ice? This was an exercise in imagination and we believe this is what he would sing.

"Say My Name In Private" is a song about the silence behind the spotlight.

It tells the story of a man celebrated by the world yet unseen where it matters most, carrying love he cannot claim openly and emotions he was never taught how to voice. Just like Ilya.

This song lives in the space between public strength and private truth, where longing lingers, pride fractures, and one name spoken softly means more than any victory.

Not a love song meant to be shouted.
A confession meant to be whispered.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
They scream my name like it’s armor
Like it keeps me standing straight
I smile like I’m untouched
Like nothing ever breaks
Lights burn white across my face
Victory on repeat
But I still hear your absence
Louder than their feet

[Pre-Chorus]
You look through me in daylight
Like we were never real
Funny how the world can’t see
The only thing I feel

[Chorus]
So say my name in private
When the noise finally dies
Say it low, say it honest
Like you’re not afraid this time
They can keep the spotlight
They can keep the throne
I don’t need the crowd tonight
I hate being alone
Say my name in private
Like it still belongs
Like the truth we never say
Is where we’ve been all along

[Verse 2]
They call me fearless, built for war
Ice in my veins, no regret
They don’t see me counting nights
I haven’t slept yet
I fight you like it’s instinct
Like it’s how I stay alive
But every win feels hollow
When you’re not on my side

[Pre-Chorus]
I break bodies, not the silence
That part still owns me whole
You’re the only one who knows
Where I go when I lose control

[Chorus]
So say my name in private
When the walls come falling down
Say it like you remember
Who I was before the crown
Let them guess, let them talk
Let them build their lies
You’re the only place I breathe
When the world feels tight
Say my name in private
Like it’s safe to stay
Like we don’t have to run tonight
Like you won’t turn away

[Bridge]
If this is weakness
Then let it be
I’ve carried worse
Inside of me
I can face a thousand rivals
I can bleed beneath the ice
But I fall apart in silence
When you say my name just right

[Chorus]
So say my name in private
When the lights go cold
Say it slow, say it steady
Like you’re still holding on
I don’t need forgiveness
I don’t need a crown
Just say my name like it’s mine still
Like I’m not shut out

Say my name in private
And don’t let go.
