[INTRO – 0:00 | atmospheric, slow pulse]
[No full drums, Breathy vocal chops + reversed piano]
Midnight dripping from your eyes
Velvet smoke and neon skies
Say my name like it’s a sin
Pull me closer, let me in
[VERSE 1 – minimal beat, slow feel]
Soft kick every second bar
Sub bass barely audible
Your touch like a secret flame
Every look rewrites my name
Shadows dancing on the wall
I don’t even try to fall
Heartbeat moving out of time
Cherry lips and dirty wine
You don’t know the side I hide
Dark oceans behind my eyes
[PRE-CHORUS – tension build]
[Reverse riser + filtered hats]
Whisper low, don’t break the spell
Heaven wrapped in shades of hell
[CHORUS – energy lifts, slightly faster groove]
[Full drums enter, Bass slides stronger, Pads open wide]
I’m your velvet shadow in the night
Soft temptation, dark delight
Feel my voice under your skin
Where the silence pulls you in
Hold me where the lights don’t glow
Love me slow, then let me go
If you chase, you lose control
I’m the fire you never hold
⸻
[VERSE 2 – stripped, sensual]
[Remove some drums, Add electric guitar texture]
Perfume fading on your chest
Every breath a quiet test
Hands tracing forbidden lines
Lost between your world and mine
Say you crave the darker side
Where the angels learn to lie
Every step, a deeper fall
I don’t fear the night at all
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS 2 – bigger build]
[Faster hat rolls, Short silence before drop]
Don’t look back when I begin
Once you taste, it pulls you in
⸻
[FINAL CHORUS – vocal focus grows]
[Layered harmonies, High counter-melody synth, Drums strongest here]
I’m your velvet shadow in the night
Soft temptation, dark delight
Feel my voice under your skin
Where the silence pulls you in
⸻
[OUTRO / VOCAL SHOWCASE – emotional climax]
[Beat gradually fades, Pads rise higher, Add airy choir-like vocals, Lead vocal climbs into higher notes, breathy falsetto textures]
Higher… higher… can you feel me breathe
Broken halos underneath
Echoes calling through the dark
I leave my voice inside your heart
(High sustained notes, layered harmonies, reverb tail fading…)
