On the doorway

Thomas
Thomas
Style : Moody indie rock with alternative pop elements, tense verses, explosive but controlled chorus, dark romantic atmosphere, emotional male vocal, dynamic shifts, Mood : Obsessive attraction, hesitation at the threshold, restless youth energy, ironic self-awareness, Instrumentation : Pulsing bassline, sharp electric guitar riffs with slight reverb, tight drums with driving snare, subtle synth textures underneath, atmospheric bridge section, Tempo : Mid-tempo but urgent, Vocal direction : Expressive male vocal, slightly strained in verses, more open and melodic in chorus, almost whispered in introspective lines (“Say, who are you?”), powerful emotional lift on “It’s so easy…” Production notes : Build tension gradually; verses minimal and intimate, chorus wider and fuller; short instrumental swell before final chorus; ending softer, unresolved

Say, who are you? Who are you to become my obsession out of nowhere? So cruel, or insoluble, are two sides of the same thing? Am I to hold out? Wait for awhile that doubt calls for an ordinary world? Am I to believe the blindfolded psychic? The diplomat’s son who is watching all the ladies? Did my first choice paved the way to a monotone bed, Or will it all fall down to the fields of a second coming? It’s so easy, so easy, Let me trouble you this one time, On the doorway, it’s so easy, Troubling you another day… This youth blood of mine takes vintage violence from anywhere, These visions of mine trick these golden years, From the boy toy to the man-child, Into trusting that love is anywhere, So, won’t you tell me? Say, who are you? It’s so easy, so easy, Let me trouble you one more time, On this same doorway, it’s so easy, Troubling you another day… Ain’t no soul home? God laughs! Makes me look at the moon, And relax… Let the night flicker, check out the roller winters, Cross the dance floor under a shower of purple diamonds, Then rock this soledad with the kinkiest army of lovers. Am I making progress? Should I call for more tigers? If all I want is you, if I do need you, if I actually am, in love with you… Then what of you? It was so easy, so easy, To trouble you this whole time, On the doorway, this silly doorway, I now am…
