CHRYSALIS OF LOVE
Psychedelic acid-folk in the spirit of 13th Floor Elevators. Minor key, hypnotic trance tempo, circular groove. Droning Farfisa-style organ carries the song, subtle electric jug or jug-like percussive texture, loose tom-heavy drums, repetitive melodic bassline that never fully resolves. Male vocal inward, detached, half-sung / half-intoned with mantra-like phrasing. Female ghost harmony drifting in late and slightly out of phase. Raw late-60s psychedelic atmosphere, lo-fi, organic, slightly unstable. Chorus loops instead of lifting. No modern polish, no big dynamic peaks. Inward expansion, consciousness-turning feel. Style (S): 0.79 Weirdness (W): 0.56 Tempo: ~90–94 BPM Key: D minor Runtime Target: 5–6 minutes (allow instrumental spiral + fade)

Lyrics
I didn’t fall apart, I folded in
Like night around a quiet flame
Every fear I carried softened
When your hands learned how to stay
I thought I lost my forward motion
Thought the road had turned to stone
But the stillness had a purpose
I was never alone
They mistook my stillness for retreat
But stillness taught me how to breathe
I was kept safe and warm
In a chrysalis of love
Didn’t know it was protection
Thought I wasn’t moving enough
No sign, no horn
No calling from above
Just patience staying close
In a chrysalis of love
I wore the weight of former days
Like coats I didn’t need to keep
You never asked me who I was
You only let me sleep
Every crack I called a failure
Was a seam stitched tight with care
I wasn’t broken, I was waiting
For the moment I could bear
Some things grow best out of sight
Rooted deep beneath the light
I was kept safe and warm
In a chrysalis of love
Thought I’d stalled the forward motion
Thought I wasn’t growing up
No sign, no horn
No voice from above
Just patience staying close
In a chrysalis of love
They said move faster
They said prove it
They said the world won’t wait
But love knows timing
Love knows silence
Love knows how long to stay
I was kept safe and warm
In a chrysalis of love
Didn’t know it was protection
Thought I wasn’t moving enough
No sign, no horn
No calling from above
Just patience staying close
In a chrysalis of love
Kept safe…
Kept warm…
Kept…
In love…
