V6

[driving opening riff, starts as a distant alarm clock then narrow stereo image, crisp melodic motorik drums, deep chorus-soaked bass] [Verse 1 — restrained, tight stereo image, centered vocal] Sunrise finds me awake as the stars start to fade Writing song after song that nobody'll see The neighbors get ready for their daily crusades I look out the window enjoying my tea [Chorus — stereo field opens dramatically, wide doubled guitars, expansive synths, fuller drums, centered lead vocal] Come here and see the first heroes of the day Come here and see them, wish them luck on their way Celebrate their obsessions no matter the cost And wish them some sleep when they need it the most [transition] (Sound of a heavy mechanical watch ticking loudly) (Deep, distorted digital hum starts low) (The sound of a cold wind blowing through an empty hall) [Digital Glitch and Static Noise - High Pitch] [Verse 2 — stereo narrows again, sparse guitars, driving bass and drums] Sleepless nights are heroic, if you know how to choose An adventure for dreamers with nothing to lose I could wander night streets or engage in good deeds Or write down some songs that nobody needs [Chorus — stereo field opens dramatically, wide doubled guitars, expansive synths, fuller drums, centered lead vocal] Come here and see the first heroes of the day Come here and see them, wish them luck on their way Let us all celebrate those heroically few And nights lost to obsessions they can't help but pursue [Instrumental — wide interlocking guitars and analog synths, stereo movement, hynotic repeatitions] [Verse 3 — stereo narrows, arrangement pulls inward, centered vocal] At the start of the day, they may leave, they may stay The world will continue to move on its way What they do now doesn't matter because here's the twist When the sun rises up, they cease to exist [Final Chorus — maximum stereo width, huge doubled guitars left and right, expansive analog synths, fuller drums, centered lead vocal] Come here and see the first heroes of the day Come here and see them, wish them luck on their way Celebrate their obsessions no matter the cost And wish them some sleep when they need it the most [Outro — wide echoed guitars and minimalist synth oscillations gradually recede, sparse atmospheric piano]
