[Intro]
[Eerie, reverse synth fades in, met with a slow, heavy, heartbeat bass]
Yeah... I see you on the edge.
Right on the borderline.
(Don't look back)
[Verse 1]
Neon bleeding through the smoke, you're freezing in the flashes
He’s pouring up another drink, but you’re just sipping ashes
Empty rooms and empty eyes, a paradise of plastic
You caught my gaze across the haze, the chemistry is drastic
He’s pulling on your Prada sleeve, but you ain't even feeling it
The facade is finally cracking, babe, I see the way you’re peeling it
You’re tired of the toxic nights, the highs that leave you hollow
I’m offering a deeper dive, if you’re just brave enough to follow.
[Pre-Chorus]
[Rapid trap hi-hats start rolling, tension heavily builds]
The bass is shaking the floor, but your heart's beating for more
You’re standing right in the frame, sick of the script and the game
I got the shelter you need, from the vanity and the greed
Just kill the hesitation... and bridge the separation.
[Chorus]
[Sub-bass drops heavy, atmospheric trap beat kicks in]
You’re one step away, baby, don't turn back
Leave him in the VIP, let his memory fade to black
(Fade to black)
Trade the liquor and the lies for a real attachment
We can leave this empty life, make a new establishment
You’re one step away, baby, don't turn around
Leave the party in the past, let it burn to the ground
Step into the shadows where you’re finally found
Take the step... settle down.
[Verse 2]
He buys you Balenciaga, but he bankrupts your emotion
A shallow little puddle when you're yearning for an ocean
You chase the dopamine, the flashing lights, the validation
But wake up in a velvet cage, living in a beautiful damnation
(Yeah) I’m the exit sign glowing neon red in the dark
I’m the flint, I’m the friction, I'm the catalyst and spark
You're a queen in a castle of cards bound to fold
Trade the glittering ice for a love that ain't cold.
[Bridge]
[Beat cuts out entirely. A single, haunting, reverb-heavy piano chord rings]
So let the DJ play the final track...
Feel the gravity pulling you from the pack.
You don't need another hit, you don't need another lie.
Look him in the eyes and kiss the hollow life goodbye.
(Say goodbye...)
[Final Chorus]
[Drums return with maximum impact, distorted 808s sliding]
'Cause you’re one step away, baby, don't turn back
Leave him in the VIP, let his memory fade to black
Trade the liquor and the lies for a real attachment
We can leave this empty life, make a new establishment
You’re one step away, baby, don't turn around
Leave the party in the past, let it burn to the ground
Step into the shadows where you’re finally found
Take the step... settle down.
[Outro]
[Beat slows to a hypnotic halt, vocal reverb echoing out]
One step.
Close the distance.
(I got you.)
[Fade to silence]
