Keller

Lyrics

[Opening - haunting synth pads, distant reverb-drenched female vocals, subtle heartbeat pulse]

I thought I’d outrun the ghosts,
dressed in prestige and polished stone.
But the devil wore a tailored coat,
and smiled like he’d already known.

[Verse 1 - tense low-end synth bass, crisp trap hi-hats, intimate close-mic vocals with light distortion]

Marble halls and legacy names,
I mapped every exit, memorized the game.
Then you crashed the lecture in a leather jacket,
smoke on your breath and a match in your pocket.
You called me princess with a knife in your grin,
said “good girls break when the pressure kicks in.”
I told myself I’d never fall for the fire,
but your chaos pulled me like a funeral pyre.

[Pre-Chorus - rising filtered synths, vocal harmonies stacking, growing tension]

Every glance a loaded gun,
every silence screamed “we’re already done.”
You said you’d ruin me just to feel alive,
and I answered, “then let’s die.”

[Chorus - dark pop explosion, heavy sidechained bass, anthemic layered vocals with gritty ad-libs]

We’re obsession dressed in ivy and sin,
two disasters learning how to win.
I hated you first, then I needed the burn,
now the only way out is to watch us both turn.
Adrian Keller, you’re the poison I crave,
we’re a beautiful wreck that the whole world should save.
But we’ll drag each other down to the grave,
until there’s nothing left but the name that we gave.

[Verse 2 - glitchy vocal chops, darker 808 pulses, more aggressive female vocals]

You showed me your scars like they were art,
I traced every line with a trembling heart.
We argued in libraries, kissed in the rain,
then fought like lovers who’d rather feel pain.
I tried to run but your shadow grew long,
and somewhere between hatred and longing,
I stopped caring if this love was wrong.

[Chorus - dark pop explosion, heavy sidechained bass, anthemic layered vocals with gritty ad-libs]

We’re obsession dressed in ivy and sin,
two disasters learning how to win.
I hated you first, then I needed the burn,
now the only way out is to watch us both turn.
Adrian Keller, you’re the poison I crave,
we’re a beautiful wreck that the whole world should save.
But we’ll drag each other down to the grave,
until there’s nothing left but the name that we gave.

[Bridge - stripped piano, single dry vocal with long reverb tails, atmospheric wind-like synths]

Tell me again how we’ll be okay,
when both of our demons refuse to behave.
If loving you kills me, at least I won’t lie,
I chose the fire… I chose to die.

[Outro - fading distorted synths, distant whispered repetitions, ethereal pads]

Adrian Keller… Adrian Keller…
We’re already gone.
