Forbidden

Lyrics
[Intro - atmospheric synth pads, distant echoing female vocals, low pulsing bass]
Whispers in the hallway, sister’s shadow gone
He’s still at the table, the silence turns us on
[Verse 1 - brooding electronic drums, low female vocals, subtle distorted guitar]
Four years in the frame, pictures on the wall
You’re her perfect future, I’m the one you call
We traded looks like weapons in the lecture hall
Now your hands are shaking, pressed against the door
[Pre-Chorus - rising synths, intimate breathy vocals, tension building]
She’s out for the night, keys still in the bowl
We both know the rules but we’re losing control
Hate was the language, now it’s turned into need
One touch and the secret starts to bleed
[Chorus - dark pop drop, heavy sidechained bass, layered sultry vocals]
Forbidden in the dark, we crash like a storm
Lying to the one we love, keeping bodies warm
We say we hate each other but the sheets say more
Four years of pretending, now we’re closing the door
You’re my sister’s shadow but you’re lighting me up
Danger tastes sweeter than any kind of love
[Verse 2 - glitchy synth stabs, slightly pitched-down female vocals, tighter drums]
University hallways still echo in our heads
The way you used to glare, now you kiss instead
We lock the bedroom door with guilt beneath our feet
She’s texting “I love you” while you’re tasting me
[Pre-Chorus 2 - filtered vocals, swelling pads, emotional lift]
We clean the evidence before the morning light
But the marks on your neck say we’re losing the fight
Every night we swear that it’s the last mistake
Yet we’re back in the dark, hearts about to break
[Chorus - dark pop drop, heavy sidechained bass, layered sultry vocals]
Forbidden in the dark, we crash like a storm
Lying to the one we love, keeping bodies warm
We say we hate each other but the sheets say more
Four years of pretending, now we’re closing the door
You’re my sister’s shadow but you’re lighting me up
Danger tastes sweeter than any kind of love
[Bridge - stripped electronic beat, vulnerable solo vocal, deep sub-bass]
Tell me we can stop before the damage shows
Tell me I’m not stealing what my sister chose
But your hands are on me and I can’t let go
We’re dancing on the edge of what nobody knows
[Outro - fading synths, reverb-drenched vocals, distant heartbeat pulse]
We hate, we hate, we hate…
But we keep coming back for more
We hate, we hate , we hate…
Behind the locked door
