[Intro — Distant neon synth pulse, atmospheric city ambience, soft electric guitar swells] [Verse 1 — Close-mic youthful male tenor, warm and slightly breathy, restrained beat] We found heaven underneath the wires Neon roses growing through the fire City breathing blue and ultraviolet You looked at me and somehow everything went quiet Your hand found mine beneath the traffic glow Like you already knew I wouldn’t let go Everybody said this place would eat us alive But with you beside me, I finally felt like I survived [Pre-Hook — Drums begin building, shimmering synths widen, vocal grows more urgent] Maybe paradise was never green Maybe it was always something mean A little dangerous A little broken A place where we could finally be seen [Hook — Huge euphoric lift, soaring clean vocal, bright distorted guitars and cinematic synths] Welcome to Electric Eden Where the night keeps breathing Where your skin lights up Every time you get close to me Electric Eden No saints, no reason Just two boys running wild Through a city that never sleeps If heaven won’t have us We’ll build our own tonight Under broken stars And fluorescent light Welcome to Electric Eden Where you feel like paradise [Instrumental Turn — Glittering synth arpeggio, electric guitar echo, pulsing bass] [Verse 2 — Playful confidence, stronger drums, vocal smiling through the delivery] We climbed rooftops just to watch it burn Made mistakes and called them lessons learned You laughed with your head against my shoulder Like maybe growing up didn’t have to make us colder We kissed beneath a flickering motel sign Red on your face, blue running into mine For once I didn’t care who might see You made the whole damn city feel like home [Pre-Hook — Rising intensity, subtle vocal grit, synths climbing underneath] Maybe paradise was never clean Maybe love was always in-between A little reckless A little sacred A little more than what they let us dream [Hook — Bigger drums, soaring vocal, wide guitars, euphoric electronic layers] Welcome to Electric Eden Where the night keeps breathing Where your skin lights up Every time you get close to me Electric Eden No saints, no reason Just two boys running wild Through a city that never sleeps If heaven won’t have us We’ll build our own tonight Under broken stars And fluorescent light Welcome to Electric Eden Where you feel like paradise [Bridge — Beat drops away, intimate close-mic vocal over lonely piano and distant synth pulse] No apple tree No golden gate No perfect world No promised fate Just your mouth My name Streetlight halos in the rain If this is all we ever get Then baby, I don’t need the rest [Music briefly falls almost silent] Because paradise was never somewhere It was you [Breakdown — Deep pulsing bass returns, heartbeat kick, vocal low and emotional] Let the signs burn out Let the skyline fade I’d still find you In the dark we made No heaven above No hell below Just your hand And nowhere else to go [Build — Synth arpeggios accelerate, live drums surge, vocal climbs into a sustained high note] [Final Hook — Massive cinematic release, soaring lead vocal, layered harmonies, guitars and synths exploding together] Welcome to Electric Eden Where the whole world disappears Where every broken thing about me Feels beautiful when you’re here Electric Eden I finally believe it Maybe paradise is real If we’re the ones who get to choose it If heaven won’t have us Then heaven can wait We’ve got midnight We’ve got mistakes [Brief instrumental suspension] We’ve got Electric Eden And baby I’m already home [Outro — Instruments fall away to soft synth, distant guitar, intimate falsetto] Neon dies Morning comes Your hand’s still in mine [Final line almost whispered] Paradise survived.
