Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro- Thick, hazy atmosphere. Clean guitars are drenched in reverb and delay, playing a melancholic, drifting melody. It sounds like being underwater. No drums yet.] [Instrumental Interlude- The full band kicks in. A wall of fuzz distortion hits the listener. The drums are slow and crashing, washing over the mix like a tidal wave. The lead guitar wails a high, piercing note through the noise.] [Verse 1- Music pulls back to a throbbing bass line and ambient feedback. Vocals are breathy, melodic, and slightly buried in the mix for that shoegaze feel.] I wake up reaching for the negative space Tracing the outline of a forgotten face The gravity is wrong, the axis is bent I’m walking through the ruins of where we went A signal in the static, a ghost in the wire I’m freezing to death in the center of the fire. [Pre-Chorus- Tension builds. Snare roll accelerates. Guitars start to chug slowly.] I am the drift... I am the wreck... Searching for the pulse in a severed neck. [Chorus- Massive, soaring wall of sound. Major key melody over minor key heaviness. Emotional and desperate.] I’m a compass spinning wild in the dark Searching for the coordinates of a missing spark There’s a hole in the universe shaped like you And I’m bleeding out just trying to push through (I’m bleeding out...) Yeah, I’m bleeding out. [Screamed Verse 2- Tempo picks up slightly. The "Shoegaze" fog lifts to reveal sharp, aggressive metalcore riffing. Pure aggression.] [Fry Scream]: Tear THE SKY DOWN! Show me where the stars align! I’ve been screaming at the void just to get a sign! You’re a phantom limb, an ache I can’t explain! Wiring the nerves to a different kind of pain! WHERE ARE YOU?! [Guttural growl]: WHERE ARE YOU?! [Bridge- Atmospheric and floaty. The heavy guitars drop out. Synthesizers swell.] [Clean vocals, high pitch]: I’m sending flares into the grey... Hoping they find you far away... (Far away...) [Lyrical Interlude- Music stops completely except for a low hum. Spoken word, intimate and close to the mic.] I can feel you out there. Like a shadow detached from the floor. I’m not whole anymore. I’m just... fractions. [Breakdown- The heaviest part of the song. Slow, sludgy, and destructive. The guitars use a "fuzz" pedal to make the breakdown sound like a wall of static.] [Scream]: Fractured! [Sub-bass drop] [Chug - Chug - Squeal] I AM NOT WHOLE! [Chug - Chug - Squeal] RETURN! TO! ME! [Tempo slows to a crawl] BITCH! RETURN! [Chorus- Explosive energy. The melody returns, soaring over the wreckage of the breakdown.] I’m a compass spinning wild in the dark Searching for the coordinates of a missing spark There’s a hole in the universe shaped like you And I’m bleeding out just trying to push through. [Instrumental Interlude- Post-rock vibes. The distortion remains but plays a triumphant, sad melody. The drummer plays a complex fill-heavy groove.] [Intro Repeated- Sudden cut to the clean, watery guitar from the very beginning. The loop closes]
