[Intro] [Vinyl surface noise, resonant low-pass filter sweep, off-beat snare snap] (Ah, ah, ah) (Ah, ah, ah) [Verse 1] [Pulsing sub-bass drone, dry staccato vocal, minimalist rimshot rhythm] Cold shadow on the glass, heavy static in the room Creeping through the hallway under neon in the gloom Faint hum through the floorboards, pressure in the chest Breathing in the dark while the silence takes the rest [Pre-Chorus] [Rising tape-delay feedback, syncopated vocal delivery, accelerating hi-hats] Didn't someone warn you 'bout the flicker in the wire? Walking through the smoke just to dance inside the fire Thought we had control, thought the current was a game Felt the high voltage rushing straight through the vein [Chorus] [Heavy sidechained synth drop, massive dub snare, wide stereo vocal stack] We caught a ghost in the frequency, burned out the power line! Traded tomorrow for a moment frozen out of time! We caught a ghost in the frequency, swimming in the static grain! Felt like deliverance, but it drove us both insane! [Post-Chorus] [Cut to pitch-shifted vocal chop, deep bass sub-pulse] (Ah, ah, ah, ah) Lost in the static grain (Ah, ah, ah, ah) Lost in the static grain [Verse 2] [Darkwave synth arpeggio, swung vinyl breakbeat, direct delivery] Left the city lights miles back behind the ridge Sinking in the valley past the broken wooden bridge Shadows on the dashboard, fingers on the dial Trying to catch a signal that's been dead for a mile [Pre-Chorus] [Rising tape-delay feedback, syncopated vocal delivery, accelerating hi-hats] Didn't someone warn you 'bout the flicker in the wire? Flashing that cold, sharp smile you acquire Thought we had control, thought the current was a game Now the dark circuit's pulling us into the flame! [Chorus] [Heavy sidechained synth drop, massive dub snare, wide stereo vocal stack] We caught a ghost in the frequency, burned out the power line! Traded tomorrow for a moment frozen out of time! We caught a ghost in the frequency, swimming in the static grain! Felt like deliverance, but it drove us both insane! [Post-Chorus] [Cut to pitch-shifted vocal chop, deep bass sub-pulse] (Ah, ah, ah, ah) Lost in the static grain (Ah, ah, ah, ah) Lost in the static grain [Bridge] [Strip back to cavernous ambient pad, low sub rumble, dry intimate vocal escalating to a belted scream] Reached for the switch, but the copper was fused Looked in your eyes, saw the spark we abused You chased the feedback looking for a higher peak Now the transmission's broken and the signal is weak And when the current blew... THE DARKNESS CONSUMED US! [Chorus] [Maximum saturation drop, wall-of-sound synths, full double-tracked belt] We caught a ghost in the frequency, burned out the power line! Traded tomorrow for a moment frozen out of time! (Out of time!) We caught a ghost in the frequency, swimming in the static grain! (In the grain!) Felt like deliverance, but it drove us both insane! [Outro] [Filtering down to raw vinyl crackle, slow delay tail on vocals, abrupt tape stop] (Ah, ah, ah, ah) Burned out the power line (Ah, ah, ah, ah) Frozen out of time Deliverance... but it drove us both insane. [Tape Stop]
