Hologram Heartbreak

V5.5

[Intro] [Bright, upbeat xylophone melody plays a simple hook] [A crushing, sustained doom sub-bass drops beneath it] [Vocal: Cool, observational] Projected. Unprotected. [Verse 1] [Bossa nova rhythm tapped out on hollow steel pipes] [Vocal: Crisp, leaving wide gaps between lines] Reach out. Pass through. (Nothing there) Red shifting into blue. Light hits the wall. Nobody to call. [Pre-Chorus] [Instruments strip away. Just the heavy sub-bass] [Vocal: Sung, descending scale] Hands close on empty air. I know you aren't there. [Chorus] [Chaotic, bright major-key synths swirl over the industrial rhythm] [Vocal: Polished, soulful but entirely remote] Hologram heartbreak. Light in the dust. A phantom mistake. (Look through) You shimmer and shake. No surface to trust. Hologram heartbreak. [Verse 2] [Xylophone returns, plinky and cheerful, mocking the bassline] [Vocal: Staccato, exact] Walk through the ghost. I am the host. (Hosting air) Turn off the beam. End of the dream. Sweep up the floor. [Pre-Chorus] [Instruments strip away. Just the heavy sub-bass] [Vocal: Sung, descending scale] Hands close on empty air. I know you aren't there. [Chorus] [Chaotic, bright major-key synths swirl over the industrial rhythm] [Vocal: Polished, soulful but entirely remote] Hologram heartbreak. Light in the dust. A phantom mistake. (Look through) You shimmer and shake. No surface to trust. Hologram heartbreak. [Outro] [Synths glitch and pitch downward] [Vocal: Spoken] Powering down. [A single click. Silence]
