3751 All That We Can be Sure of is Uncertainty
Alternative rock with progressive elements. Features a clean electric guitar playing arpeggiated figures and a distorted lead guitar performing melodic solos with heavy vibrato. The bass guitar follows the kick drum patterns with a gritty, overdriven tone. Drums consist of a punchy snare, resonant kick, and active hi-hat work with frequent cymbal crashes. Vocals are a clear, melodic male tenor with occasional layered harmonies. The track features a mid-tempo groove in 4/4 time, approximately 95 BPM, in the key of B minor. A bridge section features German spoken-word vocals over a reduced arrangement before returning to a full-band climax. The ending features a sudden cut to a clean guitar arpeggio and a final vocal refrain.

Lyrics
Intro
clean electric guitar arpeggio, B minor
Verse 1
melodic male vocals
Your voice is flickering
Like a hallway light before it dies
Every phrase a measurement
I keep the log behind my eyes
Pre-Chorus
bass and drums enter
We dance around our failures
Like shards of glass across the floor
You say it will be alright
All I can hear is breaking more
Chorus
full band, distorted rhythm guitar
If it got even less stable
We would at least have half-lifetime
You and me like showers of particles
Crashing through the lonely night
We hold on to hollow blueprints
So tight till one of us cries
If it got even less stable
We would at least have half-lifetime
Instrumental Break
distorted guitar solo with wah-wah effect and vibrato
Verse 2
drums and bass continue, clean guitar arpeggio
On the table lie the figures
Unpaid bills and cold gray tea
Our love's acting like an equation
That suddenly just ceased to be
You keep tracing circles with your spoon there
Ask since when are we this still
I take measures in your gaze now
And all I see is what just wants to spill
Chorus
driving drum beat, heavy guitar chords
If it got even less stable
It would at least have a half-lifetime
You and me like showers of particles
Bursting through the lonely night
We cling on to empty blueprints
So tight till one explodes in spite
If it got even less stable
We would at least have half-lifetime
Bridge
drums drop to a simple kick/snare pattern, atmospheric synth pads
spoken male vocals in German
Vielleicht sind wir nur Versuch
Ein schlecht betreuter Test
Doch irgendwo im Zwischenraum
Klammert sich noch etwas fest
Und ich z$$hl bis zehn, bis hundert
Doch das Zittern bleibt
Alles, was wir sicher wissen
Ist die Unsicherheit
Guitar Solo
high-pitched melodic lead guitar, rapid drum fills
Chorus
maximum intensity, layered vocal harmonies
If it got even less stable
It would at least have half-lifetime
You and me like showers of particles
Smashing through this void of mine
We cling on to empty blueprints
So tight till one explodes in spite
If it got even less stable
We would at least have half-lifetime
Outro
instruments drop out except for clean electric guitar arpeggio
Have half-lifetime
final guitar chord rings out
