[Style: Röyksopp Style, Nordic Nu-Disco, Progressive House, Side-chained Pumping Synth Bass, Crystalline Arpeggios, Bit-crushed Glitch Percussion, Analog Warmth, Atmospheric Pads, Ethereal Vocals, 124 BPM, Dark Melancholy Euphoria] [Intro] [A warm, buzzing sawtooth bass pulses rhythmically] [Glitchy, bit-crushed vocal stutter] And ev-ery-thing is go-ing... go-ing... And ev-ery-thing is go-ing to the beat [Synth Lead: High-pitched, whistling analog lead enters] Oích-oíche Fhéil' Oíche Fhéil' Oíche Fhéil' Eoin [The beat drops: A heavy, driving 4/4 kick with a crisp disco clap] [Hook] [Voice: Stuttered and pitched-down] (Oíche Fhéil' Eoin... Oíche Fhéil' Eoin) Ní thi-och-faidh mé an-iar (Oíche Fhéil' Eoin... Oíche Fhéil' Eoin) Ní thi-och-faidh mé an-iar [Space] And ev-ery-thing is go-ing to the beat! [Verse 1] [The bassline starts "pumping" (side-chained to the kick)] (Ó-ró mo chur-raich-ín ó) And you said it was like fi-re a-round the brim [Space] Burn-ing so-lid, burn-ing thin the burn-ing rim Like stars burn-ing holes right through the dark Flick-ing fi-re like salt-wa-ter in-to my eyes [Space] You were one inch from the edge of this bed I drag you back a slee-py-head, slee-py-head [Chorus / Build-up] [Chord: Massive minor-key synth pads swell] Oíche Fhéil' Eoin [Riser] Oíche Fhéil' Eoin [Riser] Oíche Fhéil' Eoin [White noise sweep] GO A-HEAD! [The Drop] [A soaring, melodic synth-lead plays a minor-key Nordic melody] [Heavy, distorted bass and rhythmic disco-cowbell] (Slee-py-head... Slee-py-head...) [Verse 2] [Beat remains driving - Vocals are layered with shimmering reverb] (Ó-ró mo chur-raich-ín ó) They could-n't think of some-thing to say the day you burst With all their li-ons and all their might and all their thirst They crowd your bed-room like some thoughts wear-ing thin A-gainst the walls, a-gainst your rules, a-gainst your skin [Space] My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors And of your eyes, be-go-nia skies like a slee-py-head, slee-py-head [Bridge] [Drums cut out - Only a shimmering, icy synth pad remains] (Oíche Fhéil' Eoin... Oíche Fhéil' Eoin...) [Voice: Distant and ghostly] And ev-ery-thing is go-ing... [A rapid, 16th-note arpeggio starts climbing] Go-ing... go-ing... go-ing... [Snare roll build-up] [Chorus Finale] [Maximum Peak-Hour Energy] When ev-ery-thing is go-ing to the beat! (Ó-ró mo chur-raich-ín ó) Slee-py-head! (Oíche Fhéil' Eoin) Slee-py-head! (Oíche Fhéil' Eoin) [Outro] [Bassline slowly filters out] Go a-head... (Ó-ró mo chur-raich-ín ó) Ev-ery-thing is go-ing... [The whistling synth lead fades into a single, long delay echo] [End]
