System Failure (DꖾS x NEYUS)
Djent, Modern Metalcore / Heavy Post-Hardcore with cinematic and hyperpop elements. Heavy, down-tuned guitars with chugging riffs and melodic leads. Dynamic drums with breakdowns, double kicks, and half-time grooves. Atmospheric dark synth layers, drone sounds and vocal harmonies for depth. Clean male vocals (emotional, soaring) combined with harsh screams (impact-driven, not constant). Intro/Outro led by piano for intimacy, bridging into anthemic choruses that are catchy and powerful. Overall balance: introspective and reflective atmosphere contrasted with aggressive, raw energy.

Verse 1
There’s a tension in the air
like a wire pulled too tight again.
I move like everything is normal
though I feel the cracks beneath my skin.
Every day’s a quiet battle,
every smile a held-in scream.
I tell myself to keep it steady
while the world keeps pulling at the seams.
Pre-Chorus
And I hear the pressure rising
like a fault line in my chest.
I keep holding back the shaking
hoping no one sees the rest.
Chorus
System failure
I’m tearing through the silence.
System failure
the calm is turning violent.
System failure
I’m losing every signal in my chest
and I’m breaking from within.
Verse 2
I keep walking through the noise,
pretending I can handle all this weight.
People say I look collected
but they never see the mess I have to brace.
Every thought hits like an echo,
every breath another try.
I wish I knew a way to slow it
but I’ve only learned to hide.
Pre-Chorus
And the pressure keeps on rising
like it’s written in my bones.
even when I’m sinking through the floor.
Chorus
System failure
I’m tearing through the silence.
System failure
the calm is turning violent.
System failure
I’m losing every signal in my chest
and I’m breaking from within.
Bridge
The world won’t hear the quiet ones
until the quiet starts to break.
We fracture in the shadows
long before we let them see our shake.
There’s a truth behind the trembling
that only rises in the fall.
The strength they think is silence
is the softest part of all.
Breakdown
System failure
System failure
System failure
The whole ground cracks beneath the weight.
(The whole ground cracks beneath the weight.)
Final Chorus
System failure
I’m tearing through the silence.
System Failure
the calm is turning violent.
System Failure
I’m losing every signal in my chest
and I’m breaking from within.
Outro
Static fades.
A single breath cuts out.
Silence returns.
(Silence)
