Dreaming
Cloud Rap / Alt Rock / Emo Trap blend at ~132 BPM, tonal center B minor. Drums soft but punchy: hazy kick on downbeats, snare/snare-clap hybrid on 3, hi-hats loose in swung 1/16s with occasional airy rolls. Bass warm, sub-heavy, sustaining long notes that drift under the mix. Harmonic bed built from alt-rock–influenced guitar textures—clean, chorus-soaked riffs or lightly distorted power-note swells—layered with cloud-rap pads washed in reverb. Chords linger on Bm–G–A progressions, letting emotional tension stretch across entire phrases. Vocals intimate and vulnerable, lightly autotuned but not polished: a blend of soft rap and spoken confession, hovering around B2–D3 with occasional strained upper shouts for emo-trap bite. Cadence laid-back yet expressive, riding behind the beat with breathy phrasing. FX dripping in atmosphere—reverse tails, gentle delays, vinyl hiss—creating a floating, nostalgic haze. Overall mood: introspective, dreamy, raw, and emotionally charged.

Lyrics
Right now, I’m just tryin' to buy a little time that I can’t afford
I’m starin' at the cracks in the floorboards
I’m starin' at the cracks in the floorboards
Right now, I don’t wanna see the
Endless nights and I’m so damn bored
I just want to cut through the cord
Yeah, I just want to cut through the cord
[Verse 1]
Wake up, drill is in my damn head and it's 7 AM
Here again
Walkin' through these days in a daze again
In the pen
Pack us in the subway car, bodies like sardines in a tin
It’s like I need it but I loathe it and I can’t win
Tie the knot, chokin' on the sin
Weather is a cold wind
Yeah, swipe the plastic just to get in
Tradin' in my youth for a wage that is minimal
Boss is talkin' loud at me, the volume is criminal
Yeah, it’s all cynical
Workin' for the man, yeah, barely subliminal
Paper stackin' high but the feelin' is low
Where the passion go?
Honestly, I really don’t know
Coffee in the mug looks darker than a struck match tho
Lookin' at the exit sign, wishin' I could leave, yo
Open up the door, leave the track
Never look back
But I need the groceries, so I’m caught in the trap
Trading life for a rack, I’m thankful but
[Chorus]
Right now, I’m just tryin' to buy a little time that I can’t afford
I’m starin' at the cracks in the floorboards
I’m starin' at the cracks in the floorboards
Right now, I don’t wanna see the
Endless nights and I’m so damn bored
I just want to cut through the cord
Yeah, I just want to cut through the cord
[Verse 2]
Yo, this town got my soul sinkin'
Wonder what I’d do if I stopped all the drinkin'
Wonder if the dishes piled up to the ceilin'
Would I finally get a break from the numb sort of feelin'?
Maybe call the landlord, say the rent is late again
Take a couple days and escape from this prison
I don’t love the city the way I did
Man, this whole apartment has got me feelin' mid
Neighbors always fightin' through the walls, hear the kid
It’s all slidin', whoa
Yeah, it’s pretty hard to watch days you used to love
Turn to shifts that you wish you could shove
Real moments make you question the stars up above
Got me drainin' physically, tossed inside a bin like a glove
Swear it’s tough on a daily basis
Playin' solitaire, single player in the spaces
It’s sad, huh?
Yeah, I live my life in a box, connect the dots
I’m just tryin' not to let my spirit rot, you know
[Chorus]
Right now, I’m just tryin' to buy a little time that I can’t afford
I’m starin' at the cracks in the floorboards
I’m starin' at the cracks in the floorboards
Right now, I don’t wanna see the
Endless nights and I’m so damn bored
I just want to cut through the cord
Yeah, I just want to cut through the cord
[Bridge]
This cycle here is not healthy
I’m waitin' for a chance but the system won't help me
I wonder when the vodka disappears and they melt me
Will I feel like I found who I was or be filthy?
I wonder was I wrong thinkin' this is where life sent me
Or did I get involved in a life that is empty?
I drive until I stop and just stare at the wall screamin'
My inner demon talks, I’m just hopin' I’m dreamin'
Hope I'm dreamin'
Yeah
