[META INSTRUCTIONS: Mood: self-destructive, anxious, angry-sad. Mix Bias: Vocals +3.5dB forward. Drums punchy, garage punk feel. Guitars wide/muddy. Bass distorted. Silence gaps = emotional weight. Chorus feels like a breakdown. High-end aggressively opens on chorus. Humanization: loose band timing, velocity swing on drums, vocal pitch emotional variance.] [INTRO] [Arrangement: Layer 3 Synth pad wide atmospheric drone, Ambient room tone anxiety bed] [Instrumental] [VERSE 1] [Chords: F#m - D - A - E] [Riffs: Riff A - muted palm F#m power chord, octave bounce] [Vocals: Lead dry nasal emo tone. Whisper double L/R 20%. Low octave support on last words] [Mix: High end slightly rolled off, claustrophobic tone. Snare slightly late dragging anxiety feel] I scroll through faces that I used to know Now they all just look right through my soul Every message just at my fingertips again Guess I’m just the joke they never let in I hear laughter but it’s not for me It’s like I’m standing where I’m not supposed to be And every mirror says the same damn thing “You’re the reason nobody stays together anymore” [PRE-CHORUS] [Chords: D - E - F#m - E] [Riffs: Riff B - ascending emo arpeggio] [Vocals: Lead + tight double 10ms delay.

Whisper double] [Mix: Return to claustrophobic tone] I fake a smile like it’s part of me But it invisible when nobody’s watching me I got friends but they feel like screens Just pixel people living in between Every “lol” feels like a knife Every group chat cuts my life And I don’t even know what’s real anymore Just echoes on a bedroom floor [PRE-CHORUS] [Chords: D - E - F#m - E] [Riffs: Riff B - ascending emo arpeggio] [Vocals: Lead + tight double.
