[Vocal: female, intimate raspy soul, warm lower register, cracked vulnerability, Dio-style power belt on choruses]

[Intro - 20 seconds - sparse, haunting, building dread with 8-string feedback]
(8-string Guitar 1 left: tapped harmonic arpeggio - Dm9, minor, feedback blooming underneath)
(8-string Guitar 2 right: single low D note, palm-muted, building tremolo)
(Fretless Bass: low D note, slow slide down to C, then back, haunting, fretless growl)
(Drums: heartbeat - kick on 1, ghost note on 3, building tension)
(808 sub-bass: low rumble fading in and out)
(3D imaging: guitars breathe left and right, bass center, space between like shattered glass)
(Distant sound: television static, channel changing, then silence)

[Verse 1 - 74 BPM, slow reflective groove to building gallop, intimate, critical]
My baby loves me — I'm so happy (raspy, low, intimate, hollow)
Happy makes me a modern girl they say
(8-string Guitar 3 center: single melodic note - D to F, slow, cold vibrato, clean channel)
Took my money and I bought a TV (spoken, then sung)
TV brings me closer to the world today
(Fretless Bass: soft gallop beginning - D-D-D-A, sliding between notes, fretless growl)

I see the perfect faces smiling back at me (rising, adding rasp, hollow)
Same teeth — same hair — same emptiness I'm supposed to be
(8-string Guitar 1 left: arpeggio ascending - Dm, Bb, C, A, with ambient delay)
Modern girl (whispered, fragile)
What have you become (sung, soft, chest voice, cold)

[Verse 2 - 74 BPM, more intimate, more direct, more critical]
I cut my hair the way the magazine said so (raspy, lower, intimate, cold)
Dyed it blonde — dyed it red — dyed it back to fit the mold
(8-string Guitar 3 center: soft bend - D to C, slow, cold vibrato, clean channel)
Bought the jeans that promised me a different life (spoken-sung, cold, confessing)
But the mirror shows a stranger — and the stranger is my wife
(Fretless Bass: low growl, but soft, cold, sliding, bowed attack)

My baby loves me — I'm so angry (whispered, hollow)
Angry makes me modern now they say (spoken, then sung, cold, final)

[Pre-Chorus 2 - with guitar shred flourish, building gallop]
They say happiness is shopping — but I'm empty at the mall (belting, cold, gritty)
Every purchase is a prayer to a god that doesn't call
(8-string Guitar 1 left: sweep arpeggio - Dm, Bb, C, A - clean, cold, precise, 8-string clarity)
I'VE BEEN CHASING WHAT THEY TOLD ME — AND IT LEFT ME IN THE DUST! (shouted, but cold, hollow, cracking)
SO HOW COULD I RECOGNIZE MYSELF WHEN EVERY VERSION FEELS LIKE LUST?
(8-string Guitar 3 center: harmonic ring with feedback, cold, bell-like, then pinch harmonic scream)

Modern girl (whispered, then sung)
I'm letting go (belted, cold, tearful, hollow)

[Chorus 2 - bigger, vocal layering, twin guitar harmonies, more intense]
MODERN GIRL — WITH YOUR PICTURE PERFECT SMILE! (full raspy belt, cold, soaring)
(Harmony 3rd below: Perfect smile)
YOU BOUGHT THE DREAM THEY PACKAGED — NOW YOU'RE RUNNING DOWN THE AISLE!
(Harmony: Down the aisle)
(Fretless Bass: galloping hard, sliding octaves, aggressive)

MODERN GIRL — WITH YOUR TELEVISION EYES!
(8-string Guitars: harmonized run - 16th notes, two octaves, cold, ascending with wah)
YOU TRADED YOUR REFLECTION FOR A SUNNY DAY OF LIES! (belted, held high note: G4, with vocal fry)

MODERN GIRL — MODERN GIRL — YOU'RE SICK OF THIS BRAVE NEW WORLD! (spoken, then sung)
YOUR WHOLE LIFE IS LIKE A PICTURE OF A SUNNY DAY — UNFURLED! (belted, cold, held high note: A4, then drop into growl)

(8-string Guitars: sustained harmonic with feedback, let ring for 6 seconds, cold fade)
(Drums: crash swell with 808 boom, then silence - 2 beats)

[Guitar Solo - 50 seconds - massive virtuoso, 8-string, fretless bass duet, modern metal style]
(Production note: 8-string guitars, fretless bass answering, emotional arc: rage → reflection → defiance → peace, Gojira meets Polyphia)

(Solo begins - 8-string Guitar 3 center, neck pickup, volume 7, slow melodic phrase - D minor pentatonic, cold with ambient delay)
(Backing: Guitar 1 arpeggios, Guitar 2 galloping rhythm, fretless bass sliding, drums driving)

(Section 1 - "The Rage" - 0-15 sec)
(8-string Guitar 3: aggressive alternate picking - D harmonic minor, 16th notes, tight gate)
(Pinch harmonics interspersed, screaming, piercing like a cry)
(Twin harmony enters: Guitar 1 joins in thirds - modern metal harmonization)
(Fretless bass: aggressive sliding, matching guitar lines)
(Ends on a tapped harmonic, let ring with feedback)

(Section 2 - "The Reflection" - 15-30 sec)
(8-string Guitar 1 left: answering phrase, melodic, cold, weeping with ambient delay)
(Guitar 3 and Guitar 1 trading four-bar phrases - call and response, Polyphia-style)
(Fretless bass: bowed arco, haunting, sustained underneath)
(Drums: half-time feel, cymbal swells)
(Ends with gentle fretless slide down, cold)
