My Pace, My Path

IDM progressive art rock, 132 BPM, nimble shifting-meter syncopation; the user's own recorded voice, expressive and intimate in clipped verses, opening into a buoyant wide singable chorus with layered chant-like wordless choir; detailed, clear mix with tape saturation, spring reverb, and mid-90s digital sheen; interlocking fretless bass and rhythmic guitar, granular guitar fragments, analog synth arpeggios, drum-machine polyrhythms, 808 sub-bass, glitch-percussion edits, and dense counterpoint, building through a brief instrumental interlude to a decisive final chorus and bittersweet resolve

[Verse 1] You leave your list beside my keys A borrowed hour, a set of needs I patch the day, I catch the fall Then hear my own plans through the wall [Pre-Chorus] I care for you, but hear me now I can’t keep shrinking to know how [Chorus] I want to run at my full speed No borrowed map, no planted seed I’ll take the turn I chose to take And trust the ground beneath my wake I want to run, I want to run With nothing owed when day is done [Verse 2] You call my name for every start I know the shape of every part But all this carrying has made A narrow road of what I made [Pre-Chorus] I care for you, but hear me now I can’t keep shrinking to know how [Chorus] I want to run at my full speed No borrowed map, no planted seed I’ll take the turn I chose to take And trust the ground beneath my wake I want to run, I want to run With nothing owed when day is done [Bridge] Keep what is yours, I’ll keep what’s mine We’ll meet again on level ground The hands I freed can learn to hold The life I choose can still be kind [Final Chorus] I want to run at my full speed No borrowed map, no planted seed I’ll take the turn I chose to take And trust the ground beneath my wake I want to run, I want to run With nothing owed when day is done [Outro] My pace, my path, my own yes now
