Silhouettes
Opens with muted piano, cello, and violin tracing noir jazz melodies atop swing drums and upright bass. Sudden surge of gritty electric guitars and industrial percussion merges noir nu jazz with explosive metalcore. Female vocals bring soulful rasp on neopunk verses; choruses expand into dense alt-rock soundscapes. Baritone vocals add retro flair. Bridges introduce bluesy strings, cinematic orchestral swells, tribal Māori rhythms, machine noise, and grinding metal, fusing punkcore, British rock, and sadcore in a dynamic, genre-blending arc.

Lyrics
Intro
Flicker of your silhouette
On a motel TV glow
I’ve been tracing every ghost
In the places we won’t go
Verse 1
Cheap perfume in the midnight air
You were almost something real
Like a secret in a stranger’s mouth
Or the scar you never heal
And the highway hums a warning
But I can’t outrun the past
Every love becomes a story
Every story fades to black
Pre-Chorus
And your voice
(It’s calling)
It’s a signal in the static
(But it’s breaking)
Calling out
(So hollow)
But it never breaks through
Chorus
We were neon hearts, falling apart
(I still feel you)
On a silver screen that never ends
(I still see you)
I was losing you in borrowed time
(Always fading)
Like a message I could never send
(Left unsaid)
If the credits roll, if the lights come up
(You’re dissolving)
Would you stay or would you disappear?
(Just a memory)
I still taste your name in the dark
(Still the same)
Like a ghost that only I can hear
(Only I can hear)
Verse 2
There’s a reel of our dissolving days
Running backward in my mind
All the Polaroids are peeling now
Just illusions left behind
And I watch the empty channels
Hoping something might remain
But the film is burned to nothing
And the silence feels the same
Pre-Chorus
And your voice
(It’s calling)
It’s a signal in the static
(But it’s breaking)
Calling out
(So hollow)
But it never breaks through
Chorus
We were neon hearts, falling apart
(I still feel you)
On a silver screen that never ends
(I still see you)
I was losing you in borrowed time
(Always fading)
Like a message I could never send
(Left unsaid)
If the credits roll, if the lights come up
(You’re dissolving)
Would you stay or would you disappear?
(Just a memory)
I still taste your name in the dark
(Still the same)
Like a ghost that only I can hear
(Only I can hear)
Bridge
Maybe love is just a faded reel
Playing out on empty seats
I can’t wake up from the way it feels
I’m a song you can’t repeat
Outro
Flicker out, flicker slow
(All the nights)
All the nights we couldn’t keep
(That we lost)
When the screen turns to snow
(White noise)
Will you haunt me in my sleep?
(Haunt me in my sleep)
