[Intro]
[Deep, throbbing synth bass that vibrates the speakers. A clean guitar plays a delay-heavy, shimmering melody. The drums are loose and jazz-influenced.]
[Verse 1- Vocals are close, intimate, a breathy croon]
Trace the ley lines on your skin
I’ve forgotten where I end and you begin
We are two rivers crashing at the mouth
The magnetic pull is dragging us down south.
There’s a fever in the static, there’s a hum in the air
I am tangling my fingers in a prayer
You are the temple, I am the kneeling saint
Covering the canvas in a brand new coat of paint.
[Pre-Chorus- Guitars swell with fuzz. The atmosphere gets thicker, harder to breathe]
Lock the door.
Kill the lights.
We are rewriting the scripture of the night.
No words.
Just breath.
A little imitation of a little death.
[Chorus- Full Shoegaze explosion. Wall of sound. Vocals are belted, powerful, and soaring]
Oh, we are blurring the lines!
Leaving the shape of our bodies behind!
I want to melt into the floor with you
Until the grey of the world turns a violent blue!
Drink the water, taste the wine
I am yours, and you are...
[Music cuts out for a split second]
...Divine.
[Verse 2- Bass-heavy groove. The guitar plays feedback swells]
(Spoken/Whispered)
It’s not enough to be close.
I want to be the ghost inside your ribs.
I want to be the oxygen you keep.
I want to be the reason you can't sleep.
(Singing returns - Aggressive)
Tear down the walls, let the ceiling collapse
We are running laps on the edge of the maps
Friction is a fire that cleanses the soul
I am the half that is making you whole.
[Bridge]
[Ethereal, floating section. Clean guitars only]
Holy...
Holy...
Holy...
We are dissolving.
We are evolving.
[Scream builds in the background]
WE ARE DISSOLVING!
[The Breakdown]
[The mood shifts from romantic to primal. Massive, downtuned, rhythmic chugs. It should feel like a heartbeat pounding out of a chest.]
CONSUME ME!
[HEAVY RHYTHMIC CHUG]
TAKE! IT! ALL!
I AM THE ALTAR! YOU ARE THE FALL!
[DISSONANT SLIDE]
WORSHIP THE MOTION!
WORSHIP THE SKIN!
I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU END AND I BEGIN!
[STOP/START RIFF]
ONE! BODY!
ONE! SOUL!
LOSE! CONTROL!
[Chorus- Full Shoegaze explosion. Wall of sound. Vocals are belted, powerful, and soaring]
Oh, we are blurring the lines!
Leaving the shape of our bodies behind!
I want to melt into the floor with you
Until the grey of the world turns a violent blue!
Drink the water, taste the wine
I am yours, and you are...
[Music cuts out for a split second]
...Divine.
[Outro]
[The heavy instruments fade out, leaving a pulsing synth and the sound of heavy breathing or rain.]
[Clean Guitar Melody - soft and lullaby-like]
[Soft Vocals]
Dissolve...
Dissolve...
Just let go.
[HEAVY, droptuned guitar solo]
Atlantica
