Closer/Closer

[Intro extended and building] [this song contains lots of car should or instrumental imitations of them] [low synth drone, distant tremolo guitar, sparse metallic percussion, dry kick slowly entering,] [Verse 1] [rigid four-on-the-floor kick, clipped snare, relentless closed hi-hat, deep distorted bass like a V8 at low revs] Red light White line Your tail My headlights Wet road Cold mask You turn I pass Second gear Third gear Close now Still here No words No names Just brakes And chains [Pre-Chorus] [ synth rises, toms building, guitar tremolo intensifies] You take the corner I take it tighter You hit the brake I go Faster [Chorus] [full drums, pounding toms, distorted bass, surf guitar slicing through synth pulse] I'M GETTING CLOSER But i don't want to know ya You see me now In the rearview mirror I'M GETTING CLOSER (this is the cloze-r) [Verse 2] [drop back to dry mechanical drums and bass, clipped guitar stabs] Tunnel brick wall Headlights You're gonna fall Gear shift Hard turns burning Rubber It's gonna hurt Bridge Left side No room No time You run I follow You slow Waters not shallow (and now you know) [Instrumental] [drums become more frantic; rapid 16th-note machine fills, accelerating synth pulse, distorted guitar bends mimicking engine revs] [brake squeal / complete drum stop] GO. [instrumental section with raw bending guitar, steady bass and finishing with a drum fill] [Chorus] [everything slams back in] I'M GETTING CLOSER BUT IM NOT TRYING TO KNOW YA You see me I See your fear I'M GETTING CLOSER No headlights Behind me No road Can hide you from me [Bridge] [beat strips down to kick + bass pulse; vocals almost whispered] You thought You lost me You thought I turned You thought The road Was yours [brief silence] But im right here. [Final Chorus] [maximum intensity; huge distorted bass, pounding toms, tremolo guitar wall, metallic percussion] I'M GETTING CLOSER I DON'T WANT TO KNOW YA THE NIGHT OWNS YOU Red lights White lines Your tail My headlights I'M GETTING CLOSER THIS IS THE CLOZE-R I'M GETTING CLOSER I DON'T WANT TO KNOW YA I'M GETTING CLOSER I DON'T WANT TO KNOW YA You see my mask In the mirror The nights just beginning [Outro] [drums gradually disappear; engine-like synth remains, guitar feedback bends downward] [engine cuts]
