Hide your light as I question my divine [PRE / CHANT | sub-bass swells, ambient pads expand] Wake up, wake up, wake up [slowed echo trails] Wake up, wake up, wake up [slowed echo trails] [CHORUS | full arrangement returns, swelling harmonies] Hush, hush — the night will pass [stacked harmonies + whispers] Hush, hush — it never lasts [stacked harmonies + whispers] Hush, hush — it fades to black [vocal reverb bloom] Hush, hush — it circles back [delay pan left/right] [OUTRO | fade to guitar loop, ambient wash, low 808 pulse] Hush, hush… wake up, wake up [call + response layering] Hush, hush… wake up, wake up [whispered under lead] [long reverb + fade out]
