Title: Hollow Constellations
Verse 1 — Arrival
Glass moon hanging low,
gold threads where the river slows.
Your hand — static heat,
writes my name in a pulse-light beat.
Shadows bend; lungs unfold,
every breath turns sharp and cold.
We’re speaking in the language
only water keeps.
[[INSTR: PRE | x4 bars | add snap/clap, warm bass swell, light pluck echo]]
Pre-Chorus
Step into the quiet space—
time’s a thread we can erase.
If I fall, then let me break
into the light you make.
[[INSTR: CHORUS A | x8 bars | DROP: sidechained supersaw chords + sub swells + punchy kick/snare; bright top arp]]
Chorus
Hollow constellations,
we’re burning just to glow.
Every heartbeat’s collision,
every echo pulling close.
Let the night undo the silence,
let the stars fall in a row—
I’ll be weightless in the gravity
you throw.
[[INSTR: POST | x2 bars | pad tail + delay throw on “throw”]]
[[INSTR: VERSE 2 | x8 bars | –KICK first 4, +BASS pulse, pluck call/response, vox closer]]
Verse 2 — Pull
Paper lights in the tide,
footsteps cut the moon in stripes.
Your voice — underwater glass,
folds the world in a single gasp.
Open hands too far, I drop
the shape of us I tried to lock.
Still the sky keeps pouring
through me.
[[INSTR: PRE | x4 bars | riser + tom fills, pitch sweep]]
Pre-Chorus
Step into the quiet space—
time’s a thread we can erase.
If I fall, then let me break
into the light you make.
[[INSTR: CHORUS B | x8 bars | DOUBLE LIFT: brighter chords, added harmonies, sub drop pickup on beat 1]]
Chorus
Hollow constellations,
we’re burning just to glow.
Every heartbeat’s collision,
every echo pulling close.
Let the night undo the silence,
let the stars fall in a row—
I’ll be weightless in the gravity
you throw.
[[INSTR: INSTRUMENTAL BREAK | x16 bars | vocals mute; stacked lead over half-time beat; filter sweep mid; reverse snare fill into impact]]
[[INSTR: BRIDGE | x8 bars | pads + bass glide; sparse kicks; widen +1 then build]]
Bridge — Return
Catch me in the fade,
when the noise runs out of room.
Hold me in the space
where the air forgets to move.
If this ending is a signal,
I will follow it through—
I don’t care what breaks
if it breaks with you.
[[INSTR: FINAL CHORUS | x12 bars | MAX: full drums, wide synths, stacked harmonies, ad-libs; last 4 bars ride-out instrumental]]
Final Chorus
Hollow constellations,
we’re burning just to glow.
Every heartbeat’s collision,
every echo pulling close.
Let the night undo the silence,
let the stars fall in a row—
I’ll be weightless in the gravity
you throw.
[[INSTR: OUTRO | x6 bars | strip to pads + airy vox chops; slow fade]]
Outro
You throw—
and I go.
