Escalating Exposure

Lyrics

​(Verse 1)
Neon bleeding through the smog, I’m fading in the grey
Trance states in the basement where the ghosts all come to play
Bassline hitting heavy, feel the pressure in my chest
Jazz fusion on the dashboard, put the demons all to rest
Floating through the static, yeah the wave is pulling in
Thick smoke in the cabin, see the shadows on my skin
No destination, just a circuit in the dark
Leaving streaks of purple light, a cold and lonely spark.
​(Chorus)
Drowning in the neon, yeah we’re lost inside the flow
High speed, low life, everywhere we go
Glitch in the matrix, feel the rhythm start to break
Trance in my marrow, more than I can take
(Saxophone riff pierces through the heavy trap drums)
​(Verse 2)
Complex chords in minor keys, the fusion of the soul
Losing my identity, I’m losing all control
The snare is like a heartbeat, the synth is like a dream
Nothing in this city ever is quite what it seems
Sub-bass rattling the cage, I’m trapped inside the sound
Feet are off the pavement but I’m heavy on the ground
Echoes of the future, whispers of the past
Built a kingdom out of glass and watched it shatter fast.
​(Bridge)
(The drums drop out. Ethereal wave pads take over. A complex, jazzy synth solo weaves through a trance-like arpeggio. The soundscape feels underwater.)
​(Outro)
Lost in the frequency…
Digital luxury…
Jazz in the circuitry…
Fade into the wave.
