V4.5-ALL

[Intro – Dark downtempo electro-tango; broken low pulse, deep upright bass, distant room ambience and one long bandoneon breath. Instrumental.] [Male Solo Vocal – Verse – Deep smoky baritone; restrained, fascinated and close-mic, like thoughts he will not speak aloud] Across the room, she owns the light Every curve turns shadow into flame One step closer and I might ignite So I stand still, swallowing her name [Female Solo Vocal – Whispered Response – Low velvet contralto; barely whispered, calm and knowing] Mírame... Despacio... You came to watch me. Now let me watch you. [Male Solo Vocal – Verse – Deep smoky baritone; quiet yearning growing beneath his control] I came to look, nothing more But the air grows warmer where she rests Damn... if I cross this floor I may never leave those eyes [Female Solo Vocal – Response – Low velvet contralto; sensual, unhurried and certain] I felt your silence cross the room Before your shadow touched the light You thought desire needed hands I only had to hold your eyes [Instrumental Tension – Bandoneon draws one low rising note over a dry broken pulse; sparse piano and deep bass, then a full breath of silence.] [Male Solo Vocal – Pre-Chorus – Deep smoky baritone; controlled but increasingly breathless] I tell my feet to stay in place But every pulse moves closer still She hasn't even raised her hand And already bends my will [Female Solo Vocal – Pre-Chorus Response – Low velvet contralto; teasing, intimate and completely in control] Don't ask me what I want tonight Your breathing answered long ago Stay where the shadow cuts the light And let me see what you won't show [Male Solo Vocal – Chorus – Deep smoky baritone; slow, yearning and intense without becoming loud] In her gaze, the room turns slow Every hidden flame begins to show She never moves, yet still I sway She lets the silence lead the way [Female Solo Vocal – Chorus Response – Low velvet contralto; dark, hypnotic and dominant without force] Under my gaze, you lose your place No hands, no words, no need to chase I never move; I only wait While your desire gives you away [Instrumental Interlude – Sighing bandoneon and low cello over dub-deep bass; minimal electronic clicks and long suspended pauses.] [Male Solo Vocal – Verse – Deep smoky baritone; softly shaken, breath audible between phrases] She never touched me Still I felt Every wall inside me melt Every breath became her rhythm Every thought forgot its place [Female Solo Vocal – Verse Response – Low velvet contralto; self-assured, close and almost smiling] I wear the stillness like perfume You search my mouth for what comes next But bodies speak before the tongue And yours has told me everything Each pulse you try to hide from me Comes closer when I barely breathe [Male Solo Vocal – Verse – Deep smoky baritone; desire held at the edge of restraint] The distance burns against my skin One step would only feed the flame She holds me without pulling me And still my blood repeats her name [Female Solo Vocal – Bridge – Intimate velvet breath-whisper; Spanish words slow and nearly silent] Mírame... Sin tocarme... Let the wanting fill the air I can taste it in the silence I can feel you standing there [Instrumental Rise – Sharp bandoneon inhale, one bowed cello note and three isolated low beats; silence, then a muted electronic pulse.] [Both Voices – Final Harmony – Velvet female contralto leads; deep male baritone remains beneath her in a low restrained harmony] The room turns slow, the shadows sway Every hidden flame has found its way No hands, no words, no need to chase We meet inside this velvet haze [Male Solo Vocal – Final Response – Deep smoky baritone; almost whispered in complete surrender] I come undone in her gaze [Female Solo Vocal – Outro – Low velvet whisper, slow and knowing; bandoneon fading behind her] Mírame... Despacio... You came to watch me. Now you know who was watching whom.
