Barely Awake

dance, Driving techno-house with trance overtones, female vocals, Tight sidechained bass and kick lock into a relentless 4-on-the-floor; airy saw leads and glossy arps bloom in the chorus, Verses stay minimal with pulsing pads and filtered drums; hook explodes with wide supersaws, bright top-line synth, and stacked vocoder harmonies, Short breakdown with reverb-washed vocal chops before a big riser and final drop, techno, female vocals, electronic, trance

[Intro] Red digits on the clock Ceiling spinning slow Heart still in airplane mode Eyes open Soul on hold [Verse 1] Brush my teeth Forget the taste Coffee cools in paper cups Same platform Same blank faces I’m here But the days feel dubbed Tap my name on plastic cards Doors slide But I don’t arrive Conversation on autopilot Laughing while I feel half-alive [Chorus] Sleeping through a life I barely know Body on the floor But my mind let go Running in a dream I can’t outgrow Wake me in the middle of the overflow Sleeping through a life I barely know Hands in the air while my heart lies low Waiting for a spark A neon afterglow To tell me where the real me’s supposed to go [Verse 2] Blue light in my bedroom dark Scroll until my thumb goes numb Pictures of a thousand summers Can’t remember my own sun Friends dance in my tiny screen I fake a smile I fake the sound I’m speaking in a foreign language Of “I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine” again somehow [Pre-Chorus] Every beat hits Like a question Is this it? Is this the lesson? [low vocal register] If I scream inside this crowd Will it finally shake me out? [Chorus] [Bridge] [whispered vocals] Can you feel that rushing under skin Tiny current wanting to begin Turn the volume up inside my chest Let the bass rewrite the rest [crescendo] I don’t want to drift on standby I want the sky behind my eyes Drop the doubt Let it all collide Tonight I’m learning how to drive [Chorus]
