No Shit ft. SAMM

INTRO — SAMM] [Dreamy spoken tone • close-mic • soft room ambience] You said it like I wouldn't notice... Like I was supposed to smile and let it slide. [soft electric guitar enters] Yeah... No shit. [VERSE 1 — LUNIELLE] [Soft female alto • breathy • vulnerable • natural British pronunciation • clean acoustic guitar] You walk in wearing that innocent face, Like nothing ever happened in the first place. You talk so sweet, but I know that sound, I've heard your footsteps when nobody's around. I kept my mouth shut, kept the peace, Made excuses just to give you relief. But every little lie left a mark, And I got tired of searching in the dark. [PRE-CHORUS — LUNIELLE] [Breathy build • gentle rocker rasp begins] Oh, I know, I know, Where this is gonna go. You think I'm still the girl Who never says no. But I've been waking up, I've been seeing clear. Funny how the truth Sounds louder when you're near. [CHORUS — LUNIELLE + SAMM] [Passionate but soft • gritty female alto chest voice • layered harmonies • open hi-hats • wide distorted guitars] LUNIELLE: No shit, I knew it all along, I heard the silence in your song. You thought I'd never read between The pretty words and what they mean. SAMM: No shit, you weren't fooling me, I saw the cracks underneath. BOTH: No shit, no shit, Now I'm finally seeing it. You can dress it up in gold, But I know what I've been told. No shit... I knew it all along. [POST-CHORUS — LUNIELLE] [Airy harmonies • chopped vocal echoes] No—no—no shit... I knew... I knew... No—no—no shit... [glitch vocal chop] “Knew it.” [VERSE 2 — SAMM] [Dreamy light male tone • conversational • clean electric arpeggios] You thought I wouldn't catch the change, The little pauses when you said my name. I watched you turn a simple truth Into another story you could use. And maybe I was too polite, Maybe I gave you too much time. But I don't need another sign, I can read the room just fine. [PRE-CHORUS — LUNIELLE] [Female alto • breathy → stronger resonance] And I don't hate you, That's the strange part. I just don't wanna Carry this heart— That keeps forgiving What it shouldn't have to. I'm done pretending I don't see through you. [CHORUS — LUNIELLE + SAMM] [Bigger guitars • gritty chest voice • layered hook harmonies] LUNIELLE: No shit, I knew it all along, I heard the silence in your song. You thought I'd never read between The pretty words and what they mean. SAMM: No shit, you weren't fooling me, I saw the cracks underneath. BOTH: No shit, no shit, Now I'm finally seeing it. You can dress it up in gold, But I know what I've been told. No shit... I knew it all along. [GLITCH BREAK — BOTH] [Half-whispered • vocoder doubles • distorted guitar sustain] SAMM: No shit... LUNIELLE: You really thought I didn't know? SAMM: No shit... LUNIELLE: I knew. [beat cuts] LUNIELLE: I knew. [huge reversed swell] [BRIDGE — LUNIELLE] [Nearly whispered • acoustic guitar returns • distant shoegaze ambience] Maybe I wanted the illusion, Maybe I loved what I thought was true. Maybe the hardest part of leaving Was admitting I believed in you. But I'm not bitter, I'm not broken, I'm just finally choosing To listen when my heart is speaking. [soft harmony] And it says... SAMM: “Let it go.” [INSTRUMENTAL DROP] [Glossy wide future-bass/shoegaze drop • distorted guitar wall • airy supersaws • warm bass • filtered drums • vocal chops] LUNIELLE VOCAL CHOPS: No—no—no... No shit... No shit... [FINAL CHORUS — LUNIELLE + SAMM] [Largest section • emotional female alto belt • gentle rocker rasp • stacked harmonies • open hi-hats • expansive guitars] LUNIELLE: No shit, I knew it all along, I don't need to prove you wrong. I've got nothing left to hide, I've got my own voice now inside. SAMM: No shit, you weren't fooling me, We finally know what we can see. BOTH: No shit, no shit, Look at what we've grown into. All the things we couldn't say Finally found another way. No shit... I knew it all along. LUNIELLE: And if you ask me why I stayed— SAMM: You don't have to explain. LUNIELLE: I don't. BOTH: No shit... We're not going back again. [OUTRO — LUNIELLE] [Soft breathy alto • clean guitar • tape hiss • fading harmonies] No shit... I knew. No shit... I always knew. [quiet laugh through breath] Guess I just needed To believe myself. [distant harmony] No shit...
