In fact, your soundtrack is well suited for playing without lyrics (I thought about it when I listened to it. After reading the description, it turned out that I was not mistaken, heh)
Thanks!

Description
When I saw this image and read the theme, my mind immediately thought of a 3D platformer game jam project where the visuals and music tell a story without dialogue. The setting would be a dream bubble world inside of the main character's mind. One of my main considerations while writing this OST was the use of mallet instruments and the kalimba. To me, these instruments give off a bubbly childlike wonder that fit the image.
The first track, "A Peaceful World", represents the first stage of the game, which I pictured as a calm introduction to this dream.
The second track, "Bubble Fields", represents the second stage, now with extra bubbles! The tension is still non-existent, but the atmosphere has a fun and plucky feel to it.
The final track, "The Bubble Bursts", represents the last stage of the game, where the motifs from the previous tracks come together to mark the end of this dream. As the title implies, the bubble bursts and the main character wakes up.

How does it fit the theme?
The picture image just gave off very strong kalimba and mallet vibes, so I decided to have some fun writing parts for them. There's also a sense of whimsy and joy in the image, so I tried to capture that with a bright and positive tone for each track.
