Intro [whispered / overlapping voices with heavy reverb and stereo layering. Clean ambient guitar swells and distant textures] I don’t even know which voice is mine anymore… They all sound the same. [whispers overlapping] You said this / You meant that / You always do this / No you don’t / Yes you do... Verse 1 [slow djent groove] [Low gritty melodic vocal, half spoken. Tight palm-muted guitar riff, minimal drums building tension] I contradict myself mid-sentence Say I’m fine then fall apart I build a version I can live with Then tear it back to parts I swear I’m trying to be better Then I sabotage the plan Like there’s something behind me Pulling strings inside my head I change depending on the moment Who I’m with, what they expect Every version feels dishonest But I don’t know what is left I keep rehearsing different answers Like I’m someone I can fix But every time I choose a path I split. Pre-Chorus [rising tension] [Strained clean vocals. Guitars open into wider chords. Light orchestral pad builds] Every thought turns into noise Every choice feels like a lie I don’t know which voice is real… I don’t know which one is mine. Chorus [big emotional metalcore] [Full band explodes. Wide guitars, heavy drums, layered clean vocals with background screams] I don’t recognize myself Fuck! I don’t recognize anyone else either Every version of me Feels like a stranger in my skin I try to hold it together But it’s pulling me apart I’m not that person anymore I’m at war with myself. Verse 2 [heavier, more aggressive] [Half screamed vocals. More complex djent riff, stronger drums] I say things I don’t believe in Just to see which side reacts Like I’m testing my reflection But it never answers back Some days I want to disappear Some days I want control Some days I feel nothing at all Some days I lose it all I argue with myself in silence Like I’m two steps out of phase Every thought becomes a question Every answer rearranged I try to pick a single version Just to finally feel aligned But the second I commit to one I leave it all behind. Pre-Chorus [bigger, layered] [More emotional and louder. Layered vocals] Every thought turns into noise Every choice feels like a lie I don’t know which voice is real… I don’t know which one survives. Chorus [bigger, layered] [Same as before but with added scream layers and heavier instrumentation] I don’t recognize myself Fuck! I don’t recognize anyone else either Every version of me Feels like a stranger in my skin I try to hold it together But it’s pulling me apart I’m not that person anymore I’m at war with myself. Bridge [dual voices] [Drop drums. Ambient guitar and low drone] [Clean Voice] Just breathe. You’re overthinking. You’re still in control. [Scream Voice] You’ve never been in control. You fake it. You always have. [Clean Voice] You can fix this. You’ve done it before. [Scream Voice] You break it every time. That’s all you do. [Both overlapping] Stop / Keep going / Shut up / Say something / Be someone / Be anyone [Build - rising chaos] [Drums re-enter with toms, guitars build with tremolo picking and feedback] I try to shut it out But it gets louder I try to pin it down But it slips further I try to choose a side But they keep shifting And every piece of me Starts drifting. Breakdown [chaotic / stop-start] [slow, crushing, stop-start djent] [Deep screams. Massive down-tuned chugs. Silence between hits] I DON’T KNOW WHO I AM Say it again Say it again Say it again Until it makes sense I DON’T KNOW WHO I AM Every version Every lie Every piece of me Divides Final Chorus [desperate / bigger] [maximum intensity] [Full instrumentation, biggest vocal delivery, layered clean + scream] I don’t recognize myself And I don’t know who I’m becoming Every version of me Is just another contradiction I try to hold it together But there’s nothing left to hold I’m not one person anymore I’m losing all control. Outro [quiet / unsettling] [ambient fade] [No drums. Clean guitar and distant textures. Soft vocal] Maybe this is who I am… [pause] Or maybe… this is what’s left.
