[Intro] (Spatial setup: Distant felt piano on the FAR LEFT) (Slow fade-in of low pitch-shifted vocal drone in the CENTER) (Reverse guitar swells echoing on the FAR RIGHT) (Off-beat xylophone motif panning quickly back and forth LEFT-TO-RIGHT) [Verse 1] [In your ear - Ultra Close-Mic Dry Vocal in CENTER] [Staccato & Syncopated Delivery] I build myself up to sail through the weather I spend the days trying to make myself feel better Round the serpentine, empty conversations I’m not impressed by anyone [Verse 2 - Extended Narrative] [Deep, low contralto voice - Extremely close-mic center] I trace the shadows dancing on the bedroom wall Counting every second till the quiet tears fall You build your fortress out of silences and pride While I am drowning in the things we try to hide Friends say I’m anxiously attached, yeah, attached yeah And ketamine won’t numb my passion for ya I hope you know that what you hold inside your hand Is a diamond with a heart of gold they’ll never understand [Instrumental Bridge] (Sweeping harp arpeggios wrapping around in 3D binaural space) (Syncopated conga groove pulsing on the RIGHT channel) (Glitchy off-beat clicks dancing between LEFT and RIGHT) [Chorus] (Deep sub bass anchored in CENTER) (Wide spatial harp chords, syncopated xylophone on the RIGHT, congas on the LEFT) Wash over like me a waterfall Do what you want, just don’t let me go Until the Moon finally gives into the sun Look in your eyes and they tell me one thing That we should be more than friends The universe conspired for us to meet this way Meet this way, meet this way To meet this way, meet this way [Spatial Conga & Xylophone Solo] [Solo: Highly syncopated congas moving dynamically from LEFT to RIGHT] (Xylophone runs circling in 3D surround sound) (Reverse guitar swells on the FAR RIGHT, piano lingering on the FAR LEFT) [Transition - Direct In-Ear Whisper] (ALL INSTRUMENTS DROP OUT COMPLETELY) (Raw, unprocessed, close-mic dry voice right in the center) János... [Verse 3] (Minimal piano on LEFT, sparse harp on RIGHT) [Extremely close-mic intimate vocal, right in front of listener] I pay my bills, got a house in the hills Call up the Red Cross, yeah I’ma volunteer I do it all for you and you just break me dear Throw away our history, we could start from here [Bridge - Extended Emotional Build-up] [Centered Staccato Vocal with wide spatial delay trails] Oo-oo the time is running out Oo-oo reach out and feel me now Oo-oo we’ll shoot into the sky Oo-oo we’ll shoot into the sky We are standing on the edge of a burning world tonight Stripping off the armors as we step into the light No more running from the ghosts of who we used to be Just collapse into the current, wash away the sea (Rapid syncopated xylophone crescendos ping-ponging LEFT-RIGHT) [Chorus] (Full 3D immersive soundstage expansion) (Heavy sub frequency center, driving congas right, sparkling xylophone left) Wash over like me a waterfall Do what you want, just don’t let me go Until the Moon finally gives into the sun Look in your eyes and they tell me one thing That we should be more than friends The universe conspired for us to meet this way Meet this way, meet this way To meet this way, meet this way [Outro] [Whispered Vocals - Direct intimate breath in CENTER] (Instruments collapse to the edges: Piano fading on FAR LEFT, Xylophone on FAR RIGHT) (Soft off-beat conga taps slowing down into center sub drone) Wash over me... Just a whisper in the dark... Don't let me go... (Final faint breath right against the ear fading into silence) [End]
