[Intro – clean math-rock tapping, 7/8, delayed taps, open strings ringing]
The sky exhales…
And I’m still holding you.
⸻
[Verse 1 – Nirvana-style restraint]
The sun is thinning at the seams
Purple bleeding into grey
Every promise feels half-spoken
Every heartbeat feels delayed
We’re standing on the edge of “almost”
Hands numb, but we won’t let go
Every light we ever trusted
Learning how to burn out slow
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – time shifts, tension builds]
If this is the end of the color in the sky
Then stay—
Let me love you before it dies
⸻
[Chorus – Dayseeker-style emotional surge]
This is the last thread of twilight
Wrapped around your shaking hands
If the world goes dark tonight
I’ll still love you while I can
We’re fighting shadows with bare hearts
Trying not to lose the flame
In a fading world that’s falling apart
We’re still screaming each other’s names
⸻
[Verse 2 – heavier, syncopated]
Every screen says “give it time”
But time is running out of breath
Hope feels like a dying signal
Still screaming through the static mess
They say love’s just chemical
Just a spark that fades away
But I feel it in the silence
When you look at me and stay
⸻
[Chorus – repeat, layered harmonies]
This is the last thread of twilight
Wrapped around your shaking hands
If the world goes dark tonight
I’ll still love you while I can
We’re fighting shadows with bare hearts
Trying not to lose the flame
In a fading world that’s falling apart
We’re still screaming each other’s names
⸻
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK – MATH ROCK → METALCORE, Section A (10s): Clean tapping melody, 5/4 Bass mirrors guitar an octave down, Section B (10s): Distorted counter-melody, Off-beat accents, drum fills everywhere, Section C (20s – HALF-TIME DROP): Low chugs in Drop C, Ride cymbal → crash, Emotional weight over technical chaos]
⸻
[Bridge – quiet, haunting]
If love is just a dying star
Then let it take us with the light
I don’t need forever now
Just don’t let go tonight
⸻
[FINAL CHORUS – biggest, desperate]
This is the last thread of twilight
Still glowing in your eyes
If we’re swallowed by the night
At least we didn’t run and hide
We built something in the ruins
When everything was breaking down
In a world that’s losing color fast
We were love—still burning out loud
⸻
[Outro – math riff fades into feedback, clean guitar repeats the intro riff]
The light is gone…
But your hand’s still here.
HERE!
Atlantica
