Kill the silence
by DmTooL
Lyrics
[Intro – distant ocean ambience, soft piano, reversed pads, breathy female vocal, heartbeat sub]
(Soft vocal)
If you leave...
Take the silence too...
'Cause it still sounds like you...
Verse 1 – intimate, minimal drums, warm synths
Every street still knows your name,
Every sunset looks the same.
There's a space beside my soul,
That nobody else can hold.
You were fire under frozen skies,
Hope inside these tired eyes.
Now I'm talking to the rain,
Trying not to say your name.
Pre-Chorus – rising pads, vocal layers, tension building
If I let go...
Will you disappear?
Or become the echo...
I always hear...
DROP / CHORUS – huge melodic dubstep, soaring supersaws, emotional vocal chops
Take me where the stars don't fade...
Hold me when the night won't change...
If we're falling... let us fly...
Meet me in the afterglow tonight...
(Hey... Hey... Ohhh...)
Broken hearts still learn to shine...
Even after goodbye...
If this love becomes a ghost...
Meet me in the afterglow...
Verse 2 – emotional, cinematic
Pictures fading on my phone,
Funny how they feel like home.
Every smile still pulls me back,
Like footsteps I can never track.
Maybe we were never meant,
Maybe heaven's just a moment spent.
But if forever only lasts one night,
I'm glad I saw it in your eyes.
Build-Up – drums cut, piano returns, vocal repeats
Don't wake me...
Not yet...
I can almost...
Feel you again...
(Snare roll begins...)
FINAL DROP – biggest section
Take me where the stars don't fade...
Where your heart still knows my name...
If the world comes crashing down...
We'll become the only sound...
Afterglow...
Afterglow...
(Massive vocal chop melody)
Outro – piano, rain, fading vocal
(Whisper)
"Maybe love doesn't disappear..."
"Maybe it just becomes light..."
