Something Real in Me- Incubus

[Intro – airy, filtered guitar] Fingers trace the static in the air Like a signal no one else can hear [vocal style male nasal lyric tenor | rhythmic delivery] [Verse 1 – laid-back groove] I was drifting through the noise againnnnnn Half awake inside a neon skinnnnnnnn Every thought a ripple in the dark..... Trying just to find out where you areeeeee [Pre-Chorus: Building distortion | Tense vocal, highly nasal lyric tenor, Rhythmic delivery, bright nasal resonance] And it pulls me under slow... Like a current I don’t know... [Chorus: Soaring Rhythmic nasal high tenor, explosive heavy distorted guitar] Take me out of my head tonight... Let the silence come aliveeeee iveee iveee I don’t wanna fade in the in-between.. I wanna feel something real in meeeeee [Post Chorus: Melodic guitar lead] [Verse 2 – highly nasal lyric tenor, Rhythmic phrasing, bright nasal resonance | rhythmic, slightly more intensity] Conversations echo in reverse Every word just makes it worse But your voice cuts through the haze Like a spark inside the gray [Pre-Chorus: highly nasal lyric tenor, Rhythmic phrasing, bright nasal resonance | rhythmicBuilding distortion | Tense vocal] And it drags me through the deep Where the shadows start to speak [Chorus –Soaring highly nasal high tenor Rhythmic | fuller instrumentation] Take me out of my head tonight Let the silence come alive I don’t wanna fade in the in-between I wanna feel something real in me [Nasal lyric tenor | Rhythmic phrasing]] [Bridge – atmospheric breakdown] [filtered vocals] Maybe I’ve been running in circles Chasing reflections of something eternal [build begins] If I let go, would I finally breathe? [Soaring Rhythmic highly nasal high tenor] [Final Chorus – layered vocals] Take me out of my head tonight Break the pattern, shift the light I don’t wanna fade in the in-between I wanna feel something real in me [Outro – ambient fade] Static turns to clarity… You’re the sound inside of me
