Lyrics
Track settings: duration 3:40, style minimal techno / psychedelic / hypno-dance / slow trance / ambient; soft+sweet slightly cracked female voice, slow spoken-word style, deep bass, DJ & ethnic percussion, overtone chanting. Vocal pacing ~2x slower than instrumental. Trend accent: light granular synth pads + reversed cymbal swells for transitions.
Intro
long sustained nasal "aaah" with gentle vibrato, slight pitch rise and fall, in minor key; duration: 4 lines; ethereal reverb; no main vocal
aa-aa-aaah~ aaah~ aaah
aa-aa-aaah~ aaah~ aaah
aa-aa-aaah~ aaah~ aaah
aa-aa-aaah~ aaah~ aaah
Verse 1
They died together,
Skipping long and happy lives —
Gone in one day they were,
Holding hands, popcorn close at,
In Just Married T-shirts, tilted askew hats,
They perched upon the very edge,
Of earth, of roof, of trust in mankind…
Alone together in the whole world wide,
And he asked her: Shall we hug one last time?
She whispered: You hug me tight.
Verse 2
background sustained nasal "aaah" as in intro, gentle vibrato, pitch rise and fall, looped through full verse; low in mix; blends with ambient synth
aa-aa-aaah~ aaah~ aaah [loop softly under]
And the wise universe, with quiet indifference,
Laid their ending right on their face,
No matter how crude that all might seem,
The world collapsed, Ouroboros sucked its tail — bo-o-ring,
The spiral of the galaxy wound into a ring,
Break
heavy strained breathing in total silence, duration: one verse line
hhhuuuhhh… hhhuuuhhh… hhhuuuhhh
Yet suddenly, there was too little air in my lungs.
Outro
long sustained nasal "aaah" with gentle vibrato, slight pitch rise and fall, in minor key; duration: 4 lines; repeat once; fading out with reverb tail
aa-aa-aaah~ aaah~ aaah
aa-aa-aaah~ aaah~ aaah
aa-aa-aaah~ aaah~ aaah
aa-aa-aaah~ aaah~ aaah
repeat block once, gradually fading
