Are End Is Near

Lyrics

[Intro - distant reversed vinyl crackle, shimmering synth pads, low sub pulses, whispered glitch-vocal fragments panning hard left/right]

[Verse 1 - half-time Melbourne bounce groove, gritty 808 slides, crisp trap hats, male falsetto drenched in tape saturation, faint police-siren melody buried in the mix]

Neon rain is falling upward, gravity’s a liar
Clock hands spinning backward, city’s funeral pyre
Glass towers cracking open, pouring liquid light
We dance inside the fracture, laughing at the night

[Pre-Build - rising white-noise sweeps, vocal chops stuttering “end-is-near,” sidechained synths breathing in and out]

Every pixel’s bleeding color, every shadow learns to sing
Sirens turn to lullabies inside this crumbling spring
We kiss beneath the static, taste the ozone on our tongues
Countdowns painted on our eyelids, still we move as one

[Build - tension snare rolls, rising supersaw choir, glitch artifacts slicing the stereo field, pitch-ramping “we are” repeated]

We are… we are… we are…

[Drop / Chorus - massive Melbourne bounce bass wobbles, distorted female vox pitched down an octave then glitching up, cinematic brass stabs layered under heavy reverb]

The end is near but the beat goes on
Hearts on fire in the fading dawn
Sky is splitting, we refuse to run
End is near, end is near, but the night’s still young

[Verse 2 - darker half-time bounce returns, vocal chops now reversed and granular, distant choir humming minor thirds]

Streetlights flicker Morse code, spelling out our names
Every broken billboard screams we’re gloriously insane
Time is just a rumor whispered by a dying star
We rewrite the ending, dancing where the black holes are

[Pre-Build 2 - tension rises again, vinyl-stop effect, layered harmonies stacking into a wall of sound]

Sirens turn to symphonies, the void begins to hum
We paint our faces with the ashes of a dying sun
Every second stolen, every heartbeat amplified
We refuse the silence, we refuse to die

[Final Build - white-noise riser, pitched-up vocal stutter “we are infinite,” brass and strings swelling]

We are… we are… we are… infinite…

[Drop / Chorus 2 - same massive bounce, now joined by cinematic orchestral hits on every off-beat, female vocals higher and more desperate, glitch artifacts cracking like thunder]

The end is near but the beat goes on
Hearts on fire in the fading dawn
Sky is splitting, we refuse to run
End is near, end is near, but the night’s still young

[Bridge - half-time, almost a cappella, only distant sub and vinyl crackle, raw male/female duet with heavy plate reverb]

If the last star flickers, we’ll ignite our own
If the last note dies, we’ll keep singing through the bone
We are the afterglow, the glitch inside the code
We are the final chorus no one can decode

[Outro / Final Drop - full return of Melbourne bounce and orchestral elements, vocals chopped into rhythmic Morse code, everything slowly filtering down to a single reversed piano note and distant vinyl hiss]
