[Intro – VE:NOM (Male, low, calm, almost monotone, controlled)] Proximity warning. Trigger armed. Distance recommended. You get close — I calculate the damage first. ⸻ [Hook – VE:NOM (Male, restrained, steady, hypnotic delivery)] Every time I get close — landmine Slow burn ticking in half-time Was it all in my head? Designed? Used to float — now I capsize You don’t even know — that’s past life He would call me up — landline “You’re not good enough” — flatline But I decline Yeah, I decline Landmine. ⸻ [Verse 1 – VE:NOM (Male, graphic imagery, composed, surgical tone)] I bury doubt beneath my feet Then dare you just to walk with me Pressure plates in every word Say you’re safe — I detonate quietly I don’t scream I don’t run I just calculate the fallout You say love I say distance Watch how quickly I shut down I build closeness like a weapon Pull you in — then disassemble Call it fate Call it trauma Call it something fundamental I don’t need a war outside When I’m wired for implosion Every time you step too near I trigger my own explosion ⸻ [Pre-Hook – SI:REN (Female, smooth, controlled, emotionally intelligent)] You confuse defense with destiny You mistake fear for clarity You don’t need to blow it up Just because it’s touching something deep You don’t have to detonate Every time it feels unsafe ⸻ [Hook – Both (Layered, tense, wide but restrained)] Every time I get close — landmine Slow burn ticking in half-time Was it all in my head? Designed? Used to float — now I capsize You don’t even know — that’s past life He would call me up — landline “You’re not good enough” — flatline But I decline Yeah, I decline Landmine. ⸻ [Verse 2 – SI:REN (Female, precise, sharp, calm authority)] You romanticize destruction Like it proves you’re still in control You call distance self-protection But it’s fear wearing a halo You don’t sabotage for pleasure You sabotage to feel prepared If you ruin it before it blooms You never have to see it wilt You think love is something fragile Something bound to disappear So you blow it up preemptively Before it ever gets near That’s the pattern. That’s the cycle. That’s the warning you ignore. ⸻ [Bridge – VE:NOM (Male, reflective, vulnerable but steady)] Maybe I mistake intensity For something that is permanent Maybe I fear stability Because it feels like surrendering If I burn it down myself I never have to watch it fall If I press the trigger first I don’t have to lose at all ⸻ [Final Hook – Both (Heavier 808, emotionally tense)] Every time I get close — landmine Slow burn ticking in half-time Was it all in my head? Designed? Used to float — now I capsize You don’t even know — that’s past life He would call me up — landline “You’re not good enough” — flatline But I decline Yeah, I decline Landmine. I’m working on disarming This landmine.
