[INTRO] [distant piano] [whisper] You ever notice how trouble always looks prettier with the lights down? [VERSE 1] Blue glow on your cheekbone, rain against the glass, half the room was future, half the room was past. You were drawing little circles in the condensation there, like you knew another language and forgot that I was near. I could feel the bassline moving before the drums came through, slow enough to make me wonder if the room was moving too. You smiled like bad weather. Beautiful. Bad idea. [PRE-CHORUS] Something underneath us keeps pulling at the floor, every time I think we're drifting, we're sinking a little more. [CHORUS] Neon undertow, pull me where the dark lights glow, I don't need to know how far down we're gonna go. Neon undertow, everything above moves slow, hold me in the current till I forget what I know. [DROP] [VOICE CHOP] “Down— down— down—” [SILENCE] [bass surge] [VERSE 2] Everybody's talking but their voices sound delayed, every little lie looks softer when it's painted in the haze. I can hear the room exhaling through the kick and through the sub, like the walls have grown a heartbeat, like the ceiling's had enough. You said, “Don't overthink it.” I said, “Bit late.” You laughed. And somewhere underneath us something massive changed its shape. [PRE-CHORUS] No warning. No sirens. No reason to resist. Just your hand inside my hand and a bassline like a fist. [CHORUS] Neon undertow, pull me where the dark lights glow, I don't need to know how far down we're gonna go. Neon undertow, everything above moves slow, hold me in the current till I forget what I know. [SECOND DROP] [whispered female] Don't look up. [MALE] Wasn't planning to. [HALF-TIME BASS] [MID-SONG FLOAT] [all drums fade] [FEMALE] Ahh— stay here. [MALE — CLOSE] There's a moment between panic and peace where they feel exactly the same. No ground. No weight. Just the pulse. Just the dark. Just enough light to see each other. [long pause] [whisper] That's probably dangerous. [MALE] Yeah. Probably. [BUILD] [piano pulse] [guitar reverses] [drums return] [FAKE DROP] [SILENCE] [FEMALE] Again. [FINAL DROP] [CHORUS — FULL / EUPHORIC] Neon undertow, pull me where the wild lights glow, I don't need to know, I don't need control. Neon undertow, break the world and let it flow, hold me in the current till the whole night overloads. Neon undertow, everything becomes a glow, maybe going under is the only way to know. [FINAL CHOP] “Let it— let it— let it—” [huge sub impact] “GO.” [OUTRO] [rain] [soft guitar] [MALE] Trouble still looks pretty. [FEMALE] You still following it? [MALE] Obviously. [END]
