[0:00 — INTRO] [(distant tape hiss, reversed piano, low sub-bass pulse)] [whisper, cracked] You left your shadow in my room… I kept the picture anyway. [(camera click → glitch)] [0:15 — VERSE 1] Midnight dripping down the window, Your face flickers in the blue. Every frame is getting colder, Every ghost looks just like you. I hear your voice inside the static, Like a radio underwater. I should burn these memories— But I keep reaching for the Polaroid. [0:36 — PRE-CHORUS] [(heartbeat kick, distorted strings rising)] Don’t fade… Don’t fade… I can still taste your name. [vocal stutter]: (“name—name—name—”) [0:45 — CHORUS] Polaroid, Polaroid, Freeze me in the moment that we died. Black and white, but your eyes still shine, Like a little piece of heaven trapped inside. Polaroid, Polaroid, I keep losing you a thousand times. If I tear the picture, will you disappear? [(cracked scream)] OR WILL YOU STAY HERE? [(massive glitch hit → sudden silence)] [1:10 — VERSE 2] [(minimal beat, detuned music-box melody)] Your perfume lives inside the hallway, Your footsteps underneath the floor. I know you're gone, I know you're nowhere— So why am I still holding the door? [pitched-down vocal underneath]:(holding… holding…) [1:28 — BRIDGE / BREAKDOWN] [(everything strips away except piano + breathing)] Maybe love is just a photograph That refuses to develop. Maybe we were never real… [(reverse inhale)] …maybe I just remember you. [1:40 — FINAL CHORUS] Polaroid, Polaroid, Freeze me in the moment that we died. Silver moon reflected in your eyes, I see forever every time the flash ignites. Polaroid— [(glitch)]POLA—POLA—POLA— ROID. [(huge cinematic swell: choir, distorted cello, granular synth, sub drop)] [1:57 — OUTRO] [(tape slowing down, distant whispered vocal)] You left your shadow in my room… [(camera shutter)] Click. [(silence)]
