[Title: “When I’m Asleep”] [Intro: Ambient pads swell, soft delayed plucks shimmer, simple emotional piano motif] [Soft vocal texture, distant] Every night… you find me… [Verse 1: Intimate vocal, subtle piano, warm Reese bass, minimal drums] It only happens when the lights go low When the world goes quiet and I let it go Your silhouette in the doorway frame Hearing you calling out my name I see your smile looking just so fine Feeling your body holding next to mine And for a second it feels so real But morning always breaks the deal [Buildup: Layered harmonies, rising tension, snare rolls building, melodic vocal chops] Don’t let me wake up yet Don’t let me lose you again You’re closer when I close my eyes Closer than you’ve ever been [Vocal chops rising] Stay — stay — stay with me [Dramatic breath before drop] [Drop 1: Rhythmic dubstep groove, deep growls, punchy drums, tight sidechain] [Vocal Chop Hook:] You’re only mine in my dreams… dreams … dreams… [Growl response: WAHH] dreams Only mine when I’m asleep [Growl response: GRRAAH] asleep I feel you in the night But you fade with the light You’re only mine in my dreams [Dramatic pause with vocal delays] [Verse 2: Fuller drums, evolving Reese bass, stronger emotional tone] Now every shadow looks like you Every crowded room feels half true I reach out in the dark blind Just to see what I might find And I swear I hear you breathing close Like your heart is beating like a ghost But reality cuts sharp and deep When I wake from my short sleep [Buildup 2: bigger lift, stacked vocals, faster snare rolls, intense vocal chops] If lovin’ you is an illusion I live inside my confusion If dreaming is the only way PLEASE! don’t take it away [Stacked super saws] Don’t wake me Don’t wake me (Full stop — silence) [Drop 2: Heavier growls, complex rhythms, call-and-response bass] [Vocal Chop Hook (layered, urgent)] I’m in my dreams — dreams — dreams! [Bass Call] WUB-WUB-GRRAH [Vocal Response] Don’t disappear! [Bass Call] WAHH-RAH-WUB [Vocal Response] I need you near! [Belting lead over drop] If I can’t have you in the daylight I’ll find you every late midnight [Dramatic pause with vocal delays] [Bridge: melodic plucks with delay, raw vocal, minimal pad underneath] What if somewhere in another life We didn’t break, and we got it right What if somewhere you still see The way we used to BE…. [Soft emotional, almost a whisper] Do you ever dream of me [Final Drop: Euphoric fusion – soaring super saw leads + crushing growling bass, full drums] [Vocal Chop + Lead Combine] In my dreams you’re still mine In my dreams we’re alright No goodbye, no rewind Just you and I left behind [Bass hits harder, rhythmic growls underneath soaring melody] I chase you through the night Till the morning steals the light You’re only gone when I’m awake Can I stay forever in this dream scape [Outro: Drums fade, piano motif returns, delayed plucks echo outward] [Soft repeating vocal echo] Only mine… in my dreams… In my dreams… In my dreams… [Pads and plucks slowly fade to silence]
