Under the Strobe

[Intro]
Red exit sign
Flickers once
Air tastes metal
Someone laughs too long
[Verse 1]
Concrete sweat
On my tongue
You look back
Like you might run
Eyes cut through
Laser dust
Every heartbeat
Kicks up dust
[Chorus]
Welcome to the darkside
Stay
No way out
You came to play
Shadows drinking all your fear
You are mine while you are here
Welcome to the darkside
Breathe
Every exhale
Let it bleed
If you scream
They’ll sing along
In this night
You don’t belong
[Verse 2]
Hands up slow
Like a spell
Shape your sins
Let them sell
Mask on face
Name erased
All that’s left
Is hunger
Taste
[Chorus]
Welcome to the darkside
Stay
No way out
You came to play
Shadows drinking all your fear
You are mine while you are here
Welcome to the darkside
Breathe
Every exhale
Let it bleed
If you scream
They’ll sing along
In this night
You don’t belong
[Bridge]
Can you feel them
Breathing close
Every stranger
Almost ghosts
Say my name then
Let it go
You came hollow
Leave a shadow (oh)
[Chorus]
Welcome to the darkside
Stay
No way out
You came to play
Shadows drinking all your fear
You are mine while you are here
Welcome to the darkside
Breathe
Every exhale
Let it bleed
If you scream
They’ll sing along
In this night
You don’t belong

Brooding dark techno / tech-house hybrid with male vocals; hypnotic offbeat hats and a single, pummeling kick pattern; eerie atonal stabs and whispered FX moving in and out of a sparse minimal groove. Verses ride a tight, muttered delivery right in the mono center; chorus widens with distorted doubles, ghostly backing chants, and a subtly rising filter sweep. Long decays on reverb tails and glitchy delays create a haunted warehouse vibe that builds toward a late-track, tension-heavy break before slamming back in., techno, minimal
