Dark thriller story told by two male narrators: close-mic whispers and gritty spoken-word, with occasional doubled ghosts and distant choir pads, 82 BPM trip-hop base: dusty kick/snare, vinyl crackle, sub bass, dark Rhodes, ambience, subtle sidechain swell, Cinematic orchestra builds suspense: low string drones, cello ostinatos, staccato violas, muted horns, tremolo swells, risers, trailer hits, impact booms, Chorus hit switch: hard distorted guitars slam in with dragging powerchords and tight palm-mutes; staccato drums punch stop-start snare/kick accents and clipped fills, aggressive and cinematic, not punk, After each chorus, drop back to sparse trip-hop and orchestral shadow, Mood: noir, claustrophobic winter night, neon outside and danger inside, Mix warm, bass-forward reverb, Structure: spoken intro, steady escalation, orchestral peak in bridge, dark unresolved ending, Harmonics stay minor, tense, dissonant, Add heartbeat foley, door creaks, faint sirens, low rumble; vocals front
