[Intro – 4 Bars – Minimal Keys + Vinyl Texture] (Soft hums layered in background) I blacked out emotionally… (Ad-lib whisper: “yeah…”) ⸻ [Verse 1 – 16 Bars – Soft Drums Enter Lightly] I blacked out emotionally Didn’t recognize my tone Said things from broken places That I should’ve left alone I let my emotions run me Like a solo out of key Playing off old memories You were just listening to me (Soft background harmony on “emotionally” + “alone”) ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – 8 Bars – Add Light 808 + Pad Swell] I was improvising pain Like I didn’t know the tune Let my past step on the stage And it sang over you (Background echo: “over you…”) ⸻ [Chorus – 16 Bars – Full Beat Drops] I let the storm inside me drive Took my hands off every line Now I’m staring at the silence Where your love used to shine I blacked out emotionally Let the rhythm take control Now I’m learning how to hold My heart before it folds (Repeat last line softly:) Before it folds… Before it folds… (Add harmony stack on final 4 bars) ⸻ [Verse 2 – 16 Bars – Beat Slight Bounce] You were steady like a bassline Soft and low and true I was scattered like blue notes Falling out of tune I let my emotions run me wild Handed pain the wheel Now I’m sitting in the quiet Finally learning how to feel (Ad-lib on “feel” – light vocal run) ⸻ [Bridge – 8 Bars – Strip Drums, Keep Piano + Pad] If I rewind the record Slow the vinyl down I would breathe before I answer I wouldn’t let it drown No more letting old wounds Speak for who I am I’m learning how to love you With steadier hands (Voice crack slightly on “hands”) ⸻ [Final Chorus – 16 Bars – Add Extra Harmony + Slight Drum Lift] I won’t let the storm inside me drive I’m gripping every line Won’t sabotage the quiet Where your love still shines No more blacking out emotionally No more losing control I’m finally in the driver’s seat Yeah, I’m owning my soul (Background layer: “my soul…”) ⸻ [Outro – 4 Bars – Beat Fades] I blacked out emotionally… But I’m learning control. (Soft hum fade out) ⸻ Production Notes for Zona • Keep drums soft, not aggressive • Use rim snare instead of hard clap • Add subtle hi-hat rolls before chorus • Warm electric piano chords (minor 7th / 9th) • Light reverb on lead vocal • Layer 2–3 background harmonies in chorus • Keep vocals raspy, slightly breathy, not over-sung
