[DUET MODE] [Lead Female — Original English Vocal, keep original melody and phrasing] [Male Lead — Personal Voice, deep Québec baritone, close mic] [Style: Emotional Modern Pop Rock] [Key: Original] [Tempo: Keep original] [FX: intimate room, warm plate reverb, stereo delay, subtle tape saturation, wide chorus, emotional breathing, soft riser, reverse swell, impact hit, cinematic ambience, parallel compression, vocal doubles, sidechain pads, soft strings, emotional piano, electric guitar shimmer, deep bass, punchy drums, low sub, natural crowd air] [VERSE 1] [Female Lead] Oh here we go I'm bracing for the letdown [Male Lead — Québec] Ah... c'est reparti... J'me prépare déjà à encaisser la déception. [Female Lead] Oh yes I know I can already taste the fall out [Male Lead — Québec] Oui... j'le sais... J'goûte déjà aux conséquences. [Female Lead] They say opposites attract [Male Lead — Québec] On dit que les contraires s'attirent... [Female Lead] But we're almost nuclear [Male Lead — Québec] Mais nous deux... on est rendus presque nucléaires. [Female Lead] And we can't change how chemicals react [Male Lead — Québec] Pis on peut pas changer la façon dont les réactions chimiques explosent. [VERSE 2] [Female Lead] We're running low on gas to burn [Male Lead — Québec] Y nous reste presque plus d'énergie. [Female Lead] Breathing in carbon dioxide [Male Lead — Québec] On respire juste du dioxyde de carbone. [Female Lead] Gasping but we never learn [Male Lead — Québec] On manque d'air... mais on apprend jamais. [Female Lead] In need of Photosynthesis [Male Lead — Québec] Y nous faudrait un peu de photosynthèse... [Female Lead] To fix this [Male Lead — Québec] ...pour réparer tout ça. [CHORUS] [Female Lead] Oh here we go I'm bracing for the letdown [Male Lead — Québec] Ah... c'est reparti... J'me prépare encore à tomber de haut. [Female Lead] Oh yes I know I can already taste the fall out [Male Lead — Québec] Oui... j'en sens déjà toutes les retombées. [Female Lead] They say opposites attract [Male Lead — Québec] Les contraires s'attirent... [Female Lead] But we're almost nuclear [Male Lead — Québec] Mais nous autres... on est à deux doigts d'exploser. [Female Lead] And we can't change how chemicals react [Male Lead — Québec] Pis personne peut changer la chimie entre nous. [VERSE 3] [Female Lead] Time and tears have rusted what was once iron [Male Lead — Québec] Le temps pis les larmes ont rouillé c'qui était solide comme le fer. [Female Lead] Now we're growing tired [Male Lead — Québec] Là... on est épuisés. [Female Lead] Bound to bend and break [Male Lead — Québec] On finit toujours par plier... pis casser. [Female Lead] How much more can we take [Male Lead — Québec] Combien d'coups on peut encore prendre? [CHORUS] [Female Lead] Oh here we go I'm bracing for the letdown [Male Lead — Québec] Encore une fois... j'me prépare au pire. [Female Lead] Oh yes I know I can already taste the fall out [Male Lead — Québec] J'le sens déjà... ça va mal finir. [Female Lead] They say opposites attract [Male Lead — Québec] Les contraires s'attirent... [Female Lead] But we're almost nuclear [Male Lead — Québec] Mais nous... on est rendus dangereux. [Female Lead] And we can't change how chemicals react [Male Lead — Québec] La chimie... ça s'contrôle pas. [BRIDGE] [FX: drums pull back, cinematic pad, heartbeat, reverse piano] [Female Lead] Something's wrong we're not connecting like we should [Male Lead — Québec] Y'a quelque chose qui marche plus... on se rejoint plus. [Female Lead] When we're close we change like I never thought we would [Male Lead — Québec] Quand on est proches... on devient quelqu'un d'autre. [Female Lead] It's time to walk away [Male Lead — Québec] C'est peut-être le temps... de partir. [Female Lead] From the disaster that waits [Male Lead — Québec] Avant que tout éclate. [Female Lead] I know we can't stay [Male Lead — Québec] J'le sais... on peut plus rester. [FINAL CHORUS] [FX: full band, emotional lift, vocal doubles, wide choir, cymbal swells] [Female Lead] Oh here we go I'm bracing for the letdown [Male Lead — Québec] Une dernière fois... j'me prépare à la chute. [Female Lead] Oh yes I know I can already taste the fall out [Male Lead — Québec] Oui... j'en goûte déjà les retombées. [Female Lead] They say opposites attract [Male Lead — Québec] Les contraires s'attirent... [Female Lead] But we're almost nuclear [Male Lead — Québec] Mais nous... on est devenus explosifs. [Female Lead] And we can't change how chemicals react [Male Lead — Québec] Pis on pourra jamais changer... la réaction de notre chimie. [FX: emotional sustain, long reverb tail, distant piano, fade out]
