Working Title (final choice): “Neon Exodus”
Genre: Dark synthwave / cyberpunk ballad (think Kavinsky meets The Weeknd with a touch of Blade Runner 2049 soundtrack)
Final Structure We Agreed On:
• Intro (instrumental, rainy city sounds + distant sirens)
• Verse 1
• Pre-Chorus
• Chorus
• Verse 2
• Pre-Chorus
• Chorus
• Bridge (half-time, almost spoken-word)
• Final Chorus (bigger, layered vocals + synth solo)
• Final Chorus (stripped back to just voice + pulsing bass at the end)
Final Lyrics (this is the very last version we locked in):
[Intro]
(static crackle, rain on glass, low synth hum)
[Verse 1]
Streetlight saints in the acid rain
Holograms praying for a real name
I sold my shadow for a faster high
Now the mirror won’t look me in the eye
[Pre-Chorus]
Every promise pixelates
Every heartbeat simulates
[Chorus]
We’re burning out in neon exodus
Chasing ghosts through the overpass
Love in 4K, still buffering
We disappear in the glow we trust
Neon exodus, neon exodus
[Verse 2]
Your lipstick glitch on my collarbone
We speak in code that we write alone
Midnight towers count the cost
Every kiss is a file we lost
[Pre-Chorus]
Every promise pixelates
Every goodbye resonates
[Chorus]
We’re burning out in neon exodus
Chasing ghosts through the overpass
Love in 4K, still buffering
We disappear in the glow we trust
Neon exodus, neon exodus
[Bridge]
(whispered, almost spoken)
If tomorrow never renders
If the credits roll too soon
I’ll save you in my memory
8-bit heart, eternal blue
[Final Chorus – massive]
We’re burning out in neon exodus
Screaming loud in the silence plus
Even angels crash when lightning’s us
We disappear…
(voices layer and echo)
Neon exodus… neon exodus…
[Outro]
(single synth note decaying into rain and distant sirens again)
