BETWEEN TWO WORLDS

Chorus ✓
Classic 90’s US boom-bap hip-hop instrumental built around a raw, soulful groove, Use hard, dusty drums with punchy kicks, crisp snares, natural swing, and subtle vinyl crackle, The rhythm should feel head-nodding, gritty, and timeless, Add a deep, warm bassline that locks tightly with the drums and reinforces the groove, Introduce subtle melodic layers using analog-style synths: warm pads, soft leads, or simple repeating motifs, restrained and atmospheric, Blend in traditional Japanese harp (koto-style) phrases—delicate plucks, pentatonic tones, sparse and elegant—used tastefully as accents or looping motifs, never overpowering the beat, Maintain an authentic 90’s aesthetic: minimal processing, gentle EQ, light tape saturation, analog texture, lo-fi warmth, The track should feel cinematic yet raw, blending East Coast boom-bap energy with refined Japanese melodic touches

[Chorus] Caught between two worlds, nowhere to belong Human heart beatin’, ghoul hunger strong Smile on my face but the pain too real Every choice I make draw blood or heal [Verse 1] Used to be a quiet kid, books and coffee stains Library corners, livin’ life plain Dreams in my head, no violence in sight Thought monsters stayed hidden deep in the night Then fate cut sharp on a rainy street One wrong date, wrong heart, wrong meat Steel through flesh, world went black Woke up breathin’ with a hunger attached Half of me human, half of me cursed Mirror don’t lie, but the lie came first Food turn to ash when I try to eat Only thing that feed me walk on two feet I shook at the thought, hands start to peel Morals crack slow when survival real [Chorus] Caught between two worlds, nowhere to belong Human heart beatin’, ghoul hunger strong Smile on my face but the pain too real Every choice I make draw blood or heal [Verse 2] Tried to stay kind, tried to stay clean But the world don’t care what you used to be Ghouls hunt humans, humans hunt ghouls I’m stuck in the middle breakin’ both rules Then chains hit skin, darkness closed in Pain taught lessons no book could give Every scream rewired my brain Countin’ seconds through needles and flame He said, “What’s wrong? You still feel human?” When fear took over, my will went mutant Crack went my voice, snapped went my pride That’s when the weak part of me died Hair turned white, thoughts went cold If I gotta be a monster, I’ll choose my role [Chorus] Caught between two worlds, nowhere to belong Human heart beatin’, ghoul hunger strong Smile on my face but the pain too real Every choice I make draw blood or heal [Verse 3] Now I walk calm, but my eyes stay red Too much in my mind, too much I said I don’t beg life, I negotiate pain Every step forward leave a bloodstain Kill to protect, lie to survive Lose pieces of me just to keep ‘em alive Am I wrong if I fight back hard? Am I lost if I leave a scar? I ain’t born evil, I was designed By a world that don’t leave space for the kind So I carry both sins in my chest Human tears, ghoul instincts stressed [Bridge] I didn’t choose hunger, hunger chose me Didn’t ask for blood in my destiny If there’s a line, I walk it thin Tryna save souls while I’m losin’ mine in [Chorus – Final] Caught between two worlds, nowhere to belong Human heart beatin’, ghoul hunger strong If I fall, I fall by the choice I feel No hero, no demon — just what’s real [Outro] Not black, not white, just shades of red Tryna live with the voices inside my head
