ALORÆ - Afterimage (Remix)

[vocal: female, close-mic whisper, airy, detached, nocturnal] [Intro – breathy, floating] [whispered] Stay… Right here [Verse 1 – intimate, slow, ethereal] I feel you move Before you do Like heat Across the room You don’t speak You don’t try Still I see it In your eyes [Pre-Chorus – soft lift, breath between lines] No rush No sound Just the bass Pulling us down [Chorus – hypnotic, catchy but minimal] I’m your afterimage When the lights go low You don’t have to touch me You already know I’m your afterimage Close your eyes I stay Long after You look away [Shadow vocal – airy, delayed] (after… after…) (don’t look away…) [Post-Chorus – whispered texture] Mm Feel that [Verse 2 – detached, weightless] Skin to air Not too close I don’t move You lean in Every thought Falls apart When the beat Starts again [Pre-Chorus – quieter, closer] No names No now Just the sound Breaking down [Chorus – repeat, slightly fuller] I’m your afterimage When the lights go low You don’t have to touch me You already know I’m your afterimage Close your eyes I stay Long after You look away [Shadow vocal – low register, monotone] (afterimage) (still there) [Bridge – stripped, almost spoken] If you’re wondering Why it feels so real [pause] It’s because I never left [Final Chorus – airy peak, restrained] I’m your afterimage In your head In your skin I don’t fade I don’t bend I just slip Back in I’m your afterimage Say my name Real slow You don’t need me I know [Counter-vocal – breathy, delayed] (stay with it) (let it go) [Outro – fading, whispered] [whispered] Still here Still watching
