[120 BPM] | [Indie Electronic] | Key: A minor [Mood: Introspective] [Energy: Building] [Intro | soft keys | trembling synth | sparse | wide stereo | spacious reverb] (below the surface) (everything slows..................) [Verse 1 | restrained male vocal | soft keys | subtle percussion pulse | airy] I walked into the water alone No one watching, no sound The city disappeared above me And I finally came down The pressure held me like a secret I stopped pretending to breathe Down here nothing asks for answers Nothing wants anything from me [Pre-Chorus | emotional build-up | trembling synth swell | cinematic strings entering] And I know I should surface I know I should rise But the light looks so different from the underside~ [Chorus | cinematic strings | pulsing beats | hypnotic | wide stereo | restrained vocal peak] So I'm dancing underwater Moving slow like I'm dreaming Every sound becomes a colour Every colour starts bleeding I'm dancing underwater Where the doubt can't find its feet I was made for this strange silence This is where I feel complete~ [Verse 2 | restrained male vocal | soft keys | subtle percussion | sparse instrumentation] Your voice reaches down like sunlight Broken into pieces and warm I catch what I can in my hands Then watch it dissolve in my palms I've been carrying so much above me Suits and clocks and being fine But down here I move like I mean it Like the rhythm was already mine [Pre-Chorus | emotional build-up | trembling synth swell | cinematic strings building] And I know I should surface I know I should rise But the light looks so different from the underside~ [Chorus | cinematic strings | pulsing beats | hypnotic | wide stereo | restrained vocal peak] So I'm dancing underwater Moving slow like I'm dreaming Every sound becomes a colour Every colour starts bleeding I'm dancing underwater Where the doubt can't find its feet I was made for this strange silence This is where I feel complete~ [Bridge | breakdown | minimal | solo soft keys | vulnerable | spoken word] "maybe this is the only place I've ever told the truth" "maybe the surface was the lie and this is what's real" (below the surface................) (everything slows..................) [Build | trembling synth swell | cinematic strings rising | pulsing percussion builds | slow tension] [Final Chorus | Energy: High | full cinematic strings | pulsing beats | wide stereo | hypnotic peak] So I'm dancing underwater Moving slow like I'm dreaming Every sound becomes a colour Every colour starts bleeding I'm DANCING underwater Where the doubt can't find its feet I was made for this strange silence This is where I feel complete~ [Outro | fade out | soft keys | trembling synth | cinematic strings dissolving | spacious reverb] (below the surface) (everything slows..................) (everything slows..................) (gone.....................)
