Drugs and Memories

(Intro – 16 bars)
(Soft vinyl crackle, low-pass pad, distant female breaths)
(Four-on-the-floor kick slowly fades in, sidechained atmosphere)
(Reverse reverb vocal tails drifting wide)
⸻
(Verse 1 (Female – breathy, vulnerable)
(Beat minimal, sub muted)

Your name tastes like smoke and regret
Bathroom lights and silhouettes
Pills dissolve under my tongue
Trying to feel like I’m still young

Polaroids in broken frames
Every face just looks the same
We were chasing something fake
Every line another mistake

I don’t miss the chaos nights
But I miss the way it felt inside
Your voice swimming in my head
Every word something I said
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chords open, tension building)

Every high left a scar
Every love left a trace
Now I’m sober in the dark
Still seeing your face

I don’t know what I’m missing
You or who I used to be
All I know is the past
Keeps calling me
⸻
(Chorus (Female – airy, emotional)
(Full beat drops, deep bass, wide synth stack)

Drugs and memories
Running through my veins
I don’t know if it’s love
Or just chemical pain

Drugs and memories
Still stuck on repeat
I keep dancing with ghosts
Just to feel something deep

⸻
(Post-Chorus – Vocal Hook)
(Chopped vox, heavy delay)

Mem-o-ries…
On me…
Still in my blood
Still haunting me
⸻
Verse 2 (Female – darker, detached)
(Rolling bassline introduced)

Kitchen floors and sunrise lies
Laughing just to hide the cracks
We said forever, meant tonight
Borrowed love, borrowed time

You held me like the world was ending
Every touch felt never-ending
Now I wake up clean and cold
Missing things I shouldn’t hold

I don’t miss the drugs or fights
I miss feeling alive at night
Now the silence hits too hard
When the music stops and the lights go dark
⸻
(Pre-Chorus 2)
(Stronger riser, added harmony)

We were young and reckless
Dancing on the edge
Trying not to feel broken
Trying not to feel dead

Your shadow in the strobe lights
Still won’t let me leave
I don’t know if I’m healing
Or just learning how to breathe

⸻
(Chorus (Repeat – bigger)
(Extra harmonies, open filter)

Drugs and memories
Running through my veins
I don’t know if it’s love
Or just chemical pain

Drugs and memories
Still stuck on repeat
I keep dancing with ghosts
Just to feel something deep

⸻
(Bridge / Breakdown)
(Beat drops out, echo piano, reverb-drenched vocal)

I don’t miss the needles
I don’t miss the smoke
I miss the way you looked at me
Like I was more than broke

Emotionally numb, chemically bound
Lost myself just to be found
Now I’m clean but the past still bleeds
Drugs and memories
⸻
(Build-Up)
(White noise riser, snare rolls, vocal chops repeating)

Feel something…
One more time…
⸻
(Final Drop / Chorus)
(Max energy, club-ready)

Drugs and memories
Running through my veins
I don’t know if it’s love
Or just chemical pain

Drugs and memories
Still stuck on repeat
I keep dancing with ghosts
Just to feel something deep
⸻
(Outro – 16 bars)
(Bass fades, pad holds, whispered ad-libs)

Memories…
Drugs…
Still here…

Deep melodic house track with a haunting female vocal, blending epic drops , and late-night nostalgia on the dancefloor
