[Intro – soft piano, airy pads, subtle low synth hum, pulsing sub-bass]
Dreams fall across my chest
A trembling heart, a fleeting breath
You pull me close, then push away
I hate to love you, yet I stay
[Verse 1 – sparse piano, dark pads, sub-bass pulse]
Every word a jagged knife
Carving scars into my life
I reach for you, you disappear
I crave the love, I drown in fear
Tangled hearts in silent war
I give my all, you take much more
I want your fire, I fear your flame
I love the war, I hate the game
[Pre-Chorus – rising synth swell, soft percussion, sub-bass]
Draw me close, then let me fall
I need your chaos to feel it all
Every touch a fleeting pain
I take the loss, I love the gain
⸻
[Chorus – full synth layers, distorted bass, punchy electronic drums]
Hate to love, love to hate
The push, the pull, the cruel debate
Give and take, we spin, we break
I drown in you, I can’t escape
Hate to love, love to hate
Your bitter lips, my twisted fate
We crash, we burn, we rise again
The storm inside, the sweetest sin
⸻
[Verse 2 – dark synth pad, light piano, sub-bass pulse]
Silent screams behind your eyes
Promises wrapped in disguise
I crave the wounds, the bruised delight
The clash of wrong, the taste of right
I push you out, I pull you near
The pain of love is crystal clear
I take your darkness, you take my soul
In broken halves, we find our whole
⸻
[Interlude – heavy synth, distorted bass, pulsing electronic drums, No vocals, just instrumental
A growling synth rises, twisting like a storm
Distorted bass throbs, heartbeat syncopated with drums
Arpeggiated synths slice through the darkness
Pads swell, then collapse into tension-filled silence]
[Bridge/Interlude – spoken/whispered, ambient pads, soft sub-bass]
Every fight, every flame
Every whisper calls my name
I sink, I rise, I bleed, I crave
I love the cage, I love the slave
In your chaos, I am home
In your war, I’m not alone
⸻
[Instrumental interlude- heavy bass and syncopated drums with a crazy, mathrock guitar go on for a minute and turn into an ambient synthetic symphony]
[Chorus – maximal synth layers, distorted bass, heavy electronic drums, layered vocals]
Hate to love, love to hate
The push, the pull, the cruel debate
Give and take, we spin, we break
I drown in you, I can’t escape
Hate to love, love to hate
Your bitter lips, my twisted fate
We crash, we burn, we rise again
The storm inside, the sweetest sin
⸻
[Outro – lamenting, desperate, sad scream, fading piano and pads]
PULL ME CLOSER (push me away)
I LOVE THE NIGHT, (I fear the day)
Hate to love, love to hate
Forever bound… forever bound by twisted fate
[30 second Interlude – heavy synth, distorted bass, pulsing electronic drums]
[End]
