[Structure]
[Intro]
Ambient guitar reverb + soft synth drone
Minimal instrumental opening
Vocals almost whispered
[Verse 1]
Sparse instrumentation
Picked electric guitar with heavy atmosphere
No strong drums yet
Keep vocals fragile and close
[Pre-Chorus]
Introduce deeper bass and subtle percussion
Increase tension slowly
Background harmonies begin softly
[Chorus]
Wide atmospheric production
Slow cinematic drums
Layered vocals with large reverb
Emotional but restrained, not explosive
[Verse 2]
Slightly fuller than Verse 1
More ambient layers underneath
Maintain emotional intimacy
[Pre-Chorus]
Build more tension than first pre-chorus
Bass stronger, drums deeper
[Bridge]
Strip back instrumentation
Soft piano + ambient textures only
Very intimate vocals
Pause before final chorus for emotional impact
[Final Chorus]
Largest atmosphere in the song
Full layered vocals
Wide guitars and synths
Still slow and drowning rather than aggressive
[Outro]
Fade into ambient textures and distant guitar reverb
Leave a lingering emotional feeling
[Aesthetic]
Dark forests at night, stars through clouds, cold air, wet roads, dim amber lights, cinematic melancholy)
Verse 1
Eyes at the sky
Fingers tracing stars
Our hearts painted moons
Pre-Chorus
Can you stay with me?
Don’t leave me alone with my thoughts
While the world runs out
Chorus
Sing me a lullaby
Then cry yourself to sleep
And bury me six feet down
Where no one hears a sound
Verse 2
Blurred lines coming into view
How did we end up here?
Believed every word you whispered
Like you were heaven-sent
Pre-Chorus
Now will you stay with me?
Cut my thread with a knife
And watch the world fade away
Chorus
Sing me a lullaby
Then cry yourself to sleep
And bury me six feet down
Where no one hears a sound
Bridge
Hold me while I leave
Fade into the unknown
While you sing the song
Of the long gone
Final Chorus
Sing me a lullaby
Then cry yourself to sleep
And bury me six feet down
Where no one hears a sound
Outro
The stars never shined this bright
BLACKLARK
