Noxie Lyte - Not In Love

Classic 90’s US boom-bap hip-hop track with a raw East Coast feel, Hard, dusty drums with punchy kicks, crisp snares, tight swing, subtle vinyl crackle, Deep, warm bassline tightly locked with the drums for a heavy, head-nodding groove, Synth-driven atmosphere (priority): Layered analog synths inspired by early 90’s hardware (Juno/Prophet), Dark, emotional pads with slow attack, long release, gentle filter movement, clear resonance, subtle detune, Minimal mono synth leads—cold, melancholic, restrained, Synths should clearly lead the mood and harmony, Light delay and reverb for space, never overpowering drums, Additional textures: Very subtle, melancholic violin notes or sustained lines for emotional accents only, lightly reverbed and blended behind the synths, Choral voices as instruments: Soft, airy choral textures (“ohhh”, “ahhh”, breathy “hhhh”), no lyrics, no lead vocals, Low in the mix, filtered, distant, with gentle reverb and resonance, merging into the synth layers

(not in love… nah)

...
[Verse 1]
Met online, late nights, blue light confession,
Two souls in a screen, false sense of connection.
You was trapped in a house where love came with bruises,
Silent screams in your eyes, but the smile still uses.

You said “it’s complicated”, I heard danger in tone,
You held pain in your voice, I held mine in my own.
I was free but empty, small flings, no direction,
Never built nothing solid, just scars in rotation.

We talked ‘bout escape like it was geography,
You stuck in his storm, I was scared of a “we”.
I read between texts, you hid truth in delay,
I felt something grow but I never made way.

You lied to survive, I froze to protect,
Two cowards in love, both scared of the wreck.
Virtual hands, but no real intervention,
I watched you drown slow, called it comprehension.

[Verse 2]
Yea I'm iot in love but I fall every time you reappear,
Every message hit my chest like a punch of fear.
Not in love but your presence mess with my head,
It’s desire in my blood, not the words that you said.

Yes I'm not in love yeah I lie when I say I’m fine,
It’s attraction, obsession, crossed wires in my mind.
Not in love but my heart never learned the rule,
Some fires don’t die, they just wait and consume.

[Verse 3]
Time slipped, conversations turned to ghosts,
Unread feelings, yeah, we both lost the most.
You stayed, then you left, then life pushed fast,
New chapter, new scars, old echoes from the past.

You had a child, clean break, no more chains,
I stayed in the same loop, upgraded the pain.
You grew from the damage, learned how to stand,
I learned how to hide, drink silence by hand.

Every time we reconnect, my pulse start glitchin’,
Your laugh still lethal, my logic start missin’.
Your body talk fluent, my soul understand,
But love ain’t just wantin’, it’s knowing when you can’t.

You see potential, I see timing’s dead,
Too much history, too many things unsaid.
I want you reckless, but I act detached,
I sabotage chances before they hatch.

You look for stability, I come with storms,
I’m chaos in human shape, still stuck in my forms.
So I keep my distance, call it being mature,
But truth is I’m scared ‘cause you feel too pure.

[Verse 4]
Yea I'm not in love but my chest don’t listen to facts,
Every time you smile, I relapse.
Not in love but my body don’t care,
It’s chemistry, gravity pulling me there.

Yes I'm not in love yeah I say it like armor,
But my silence scream louder than drama.
Not in love but I’m trapped in the zone,
Some connections survive being left alone.

[Verse 5]
We were never a couple, but never just friends,
That grey area curse that never really ends.
You see who I could be, I see what I lack,
So I joke it away, never step on the track.

You healed through reality, I rot in ideas,
You built something solid, I mastered fears.
Every almost-love left a crack in my frame,
Now I flinch at commitment, allergic to pain.

I want you in moments, not futures or plans,
That’s the truth I avoid ‘cause I know who I am.
I crave how you move, how you think, how you feel,
But love ask for presence — something I don’t deal.

So I say “not in love”, like it’s simple and clean,
But it’s lust mixed with hope, and regret in between.
You deserve calm nights, not ghosts in your phone,
I deserve this loneliness I call my home.

If we met in another life, different time,
Maybe courage aligned with the moment and spine.
But this story ain’t romance, it’s timing and flaws,
Two hearts out of sync, obeying no laws.

[Outro]

Not in love…
