Through the Black Hole
by Darth Nihlus
Lyrics
[Intro - distant choir swells, dark glitchy pads, filtered kick pulse, cinematic strings rising from the void]
I hear the silence bending
A signal in the dark
Static in the starlight
A tremor in the spark
[Verse 1 - tight Melbourne bounce rhythm, elastic bass stabs, whispery vocal lead, fractured synth arps]
We were drifting through the midnight
With our hands out in the cold
Every heartbeat like a countdown
Every breath a story told
Then the sky began to shimmer
Like a wound in velvet black
And the universe was pulling
There was no turning back
[Pre-Chorus - tension building, sidechained pads, choir layers, snare lift, strings climbing higher]
Falling faster, no escape now
Hear the engines start to cry
All the colors getting thinner
As we break into the sky
[Chorus - explosive euphoric drop, huge Melbourne bounce synths, thunderous kick, soaring strings, massive choir hook]
Through the black hole, we go
Burning bright in the afterglow
Through the black hole, we fall
Till the dark becomes it all
And if the world ends here tonight
We’ll be stars in the divide
Through the black hole, we ride
With the void as our guide
[Verse 2 - darker glitch textures, chopped vocal echoes, syncopated bass, eerie string motifs]
I can see the future fracturing
In a thousand mirrored eyes
Broken moons and silver cities
Floating on the edge of time
Every memory is stuttering
Like a ghost inside a machine
And the shadows start to sing now
In a language never seen
[Pre-Chorus - rising tension, vocal stacks, pulsing risers, choir tension, synthetic brass accents]
Closer now, the pull is violent
Like a storm inside my chest
If we vanish in the riptide
Let the unknown do the rest
[Chorus - wider, bigger, crowd-ready hook, stacked harmonies, brighter lead synth, pounding bounce groove]
Through the black hole, we go
Burning bright in the afterglow
Through the black hole, we fall
Till the dark becomes it all
And if the world ends here tonight
We’ll be stars in the divide
Through the black hole, we ride
With the void as our guide
[Breakdown / Glitch Solo - stripped kick, chopped choir stabs, warped lead synth solo, robotic vocal shards, cavernous reverb]
Whoa-oh, the edge is calling
Whoa-oh, the light is crawling
Shatter, split, and disappear
Turn the fear into a spear
Whoa-oh, the night is breathing
Whoa-oh, the pulse believing
In the crack between the flames
We are never quite the same
[Final Chorus - full power drop, maximal bounce synths, massive strings, choir anthem, soaring lead vocal with ad-libs]
Through the black hole, we go
Burning bright in the afterglow
Through the black hole, we fall
Till the dark becomes it all
And if the world ends here tonight
We’ll be stars in the divide
Through the black hole, we ride
With the void as our guide
[Outro - fading choir, distant kick echoes, decaying glitch pulses, shimmering strings dissolving into space]
Through the black hole...
We ride the night...
Through the black hole...
Into the light...
