Signals
by Darth Nihlus
Lyrics
[Intro - hazy vaporwave synth pads, pitched-up nostalgic vocals, slow glitchy reverb]
Static in the neon glow
Signals calling from the void below
Pixel dreams in infrared
Whispers looping in my head
[Buildup 1 - rising arpeggiated synths, sidechained kicks building tension, warped vaporwave echoes]
Frequencies bending light
Digital ghosts in the dead of night
Waves crashing through the screen
Pulling me into the machine
[Drop 1 / Chorus - massive wobbling bass drop, psychedelic laser stabs, vaporwave pitched vocals with auto-tune haze]
Signals, signals, breaking through the static
Heartbeats syncing in the panic
Lost in the grid, electric rapture
Nu wave crashing, no escape from the capture
(Ad-libs: Echoes... signals... yeah...)
[Verse 1 - mid-tempo groove with funky nu disco chords, lo-fi vaporwave vocals, subtle 808 pulses]
City lights flicker like a bad VHS
Memories glitching, can't process
Hologram lovers fade to black
Chasing echoes down the data track
Retro futures in a fever dream
Wired up tight, hear the siren scream
[Pre-Drop Breakdown - tension riser whooshes, filtered vaporwave chops, vocal chops stuttering]
Breaking... signals... online... overload...
[Drop 2 / Chorus - intensified drop with psy supersaws, heavy sidechain, layered vaporwave harmonies distorting]
Signals, signals, igniting the chaos
Neon veins pulsing, no laws
Fractured visions in hyperdrive
Alive in the glitch, feel it come alive
(Ad-libs: Glitch it up... signals... drop...)
[Verse 2 - darker psychedelic breakdown, warped tape effects, breathy vaporwave whispers over trap-infused hi-hats]
Shadows dancing on the circuit board
Voices from the other side, ignored
Vapor trails in infinite loop
Psychedelic soup, truth in the troop
Frequency fiends in the underglow
Signals pulling strings I didn't know
[Buildup 2 - epic riser with white noise sweeps, accelerating synth leads, vocal pitch bends ascending]
Overload... incoming... transmit... receive...
[Drop 3 / Chorus - peak-time massive drop, psychedelic acid lines modulating, vaporwave vocals with heavy phaser]
Signals, signals, shattering the veil
Electric storm, we never fail
Wired forever in the digital sea
Nu EDM frenzy, set the frequency
(Ad-libs: Frequency... signals... yeah... break!)
[Bridge - stripped vaporwave slowdown, ambient pads and reversed samples, vulnerable pitched-down vocals]
In the quiet hum, where the waves collide
Lost transmissions from the other side
One last ping before the fade...
Echoes linger in the arcade...
[Final Buildup - monstrous tension with snare rolls, psy trance arps racing, hype vocal chops]
Reset... reload... drop incoming...
[Outro Drop / Finale - elongated euphoric drop fading into vaporwave haze, infinite reverb tails, pitched vocals dissolving]
Signals... signals... eternal broadcast
Fading into the afterglow at last
(Extended ad-libs: Signals... glitch... forever... echo...)
[Outro - ethereal pads dissolving, final glitchy vocal fragments, slow fade to static noise]
