Midnight Carousel

[Intro]
Soft arpeggios shimmering in the night
Echoes of a distant neon light

[Verse 1]
Darkness drapes the silent street
Footsteps echo, heartbeat beats
Whispered secrets, stories old
In this city, stories unfold

[Pre-Chorus]
Hiding shadows, ghostly gleam
Fading echoes of our dream
Lost in time, a midnight haze
Caught within this neon maze

[Chorus]
Round and round, until the lights forget our names
Whispered softly in the dark, just shadows and our flames
Lost in reverie, a ghostly symphony
Hold on tight, a midnight carousel, wild and free

[Instrumental Chorus]
(Lead melody doubles as hook, melodies drift and swell, shifting an octave)

[Post-Chorus]
(Whispered)
Round and round, until the lights forget our names

[Bridge]
(Slow build, modulation, tension rises)
Turning wheels, the pulse intensifies
In the night, our spirits rise
Through the shift, we find our way
Entering darker days

[Outro]
Fade into the neon glow
Where only shadows know
Round and round, until the lights forget our names
Forever lost in this midnight game

Dark synthwave, retro pop, analog lead, reverb, haunting melody
