Lyrics
Intro – muted trumpet, vinyl crackle, faint swing piano
Step inside the hall of masks,
Velvet curtains hide the cracks,
Jazzman smile, but the eyes all bleed,
This carnival’s got what you need.
Verse 1 – swing groove, upright bass walking, hi-hats crisp
Shadows waltz to a crooked beat,
Glitchin’ footsteps on haunted streets,
Laughin’ faces, teeth too wide,
Every joke’s got a corpse inside.
Pre-Chorus – horns distorted, swing rhythm bending into glitch-hop
Clap to the rhythm, stomp to the sound,
Bodies keep dancin’ while they hit the ground,
Carnival grins, stitched up tight,
The masquerade feasts on your fright.
Chorus – big swing brass layered with horrorcore trap drums
Stitches in 4/4, the night won’t save,
Glitchin’ melodies from the twisted grave,
Swingin’ with demons in a ballroom blaze,
Laughin’ through terror in a haunted haze.
Verse 2 – glitch-hop section, chopped piano + warped bass
Tick-tock clocks, but the hands don’t move,
Every beat’s a scar in the devil’s groove,
Wineglass spill with a crimson stain,
Toast to madness, toast to pain.
Rap Break – trap hi-hats + swing horns syncopated
Welcome to the nightmare cabaret,
Where the glitch eats sound and the swing won’t stay,
Mask on tight, but the truth still rots,
You’re dancin’ with ghosts in electric spots.
Bridge – slow swing, eerie violin + brushed drums
Curtains close but the laughter stays,
Jokes are knives in a smoky haze,
Every smile cuts, every clap’s a scream,
This is more than a nightmare dream.
Final Chorus – glitch-hop drop colliding with swing brass & distorted bass
Stitches in 4/4, the night won’t save,
Glitchin’ melodies from the twisted grave,
Swingin’ with demons in a ballroom blaze,
Laughin’ through terror in a haunted haze.
Outro – piano playing wrong notes, trumpet squeals, glitch static fade
Dance is over, masks decay…
But the Phantom grins… he’ll make you stay.
