Pointes de Verre
Atmospheric dark cinematic electro-pop track blending French female vocals with orchestral fragments from classical ballets like Swan Lake. A rapid single-tact beat drives glitch-textured vocal chops and sharp synth accents. Glassy pads and filtered piano loops interact with swelling strings to create tension and release. Sections evolve from haunting minimalism to dramatic buildups, balancing elegance and aggression in a balletcore-inspired sonic world.

Lyrics
Intro: Filtered vinyl crackle, icy string loop from Swan Lake, heartbeat-like kick
(Elle tombe…)
(Elle se relève…)
Build: Ghostly synth arpeggios rising, glitch FX layered with breaths
Instrumental buildup: pulsing kick, glass chimes, fragmented piano
Drop: Full rhythm, chopped strings, modulated vocals
Je tombe —
Mais je renais
Sous les néons froids
Je deviens ballet
Frappe après frappe
Je trace ma voie
L’éclat du verre
Sous mes pas
Verse: Accelerated tempo, whispered delivery over glitch-pop textures
Pas après pas, friction du sol
Elles observent — sans un mot
J’ai du sang dans la voix
Mais le rythme me croit
Chaque pirouette
Est une révolte
Chorus: Layered synths and orchestral hits rise, powerful vocal swell
Je danse (je danse)
Même brisée
Je trace (je trace)
Lignes acérées
L’amour — inutile
L’amitié — fragile
Je veux
Lumière
Scène
Et style
Build: Percussion filters in and out, reversed Swan Lake motif looped
(Tu craques…)
(Tu n’es pas prête…)
Drop: Aggressive strings and synth drop with glitched vocal chops
Non — je casse
Et je continue
Verre sous mes pieds
Je danse —
Encore
Encore
Encore
Bridge: Slowed tempo, ethereal breakdown, ghost vocals layered
Discipline.
Violence.
Beauté.
Silence.
Chaque note
Un cri digital
Chaque saut
Un code brutal
Chorus: More intense, with backup harmonies and distorted FX
Je danse (je danse)
Même brisée
Je trace (je trace)
Lignes acérées
Je suis
La rage en pointes
Le bruit
Dans le tutu blanc
Outro: Fragmented piano from Tchaikovsky fades into reverb, breathing slows
Verre éclaté
Sur le sol
Mais moi —
Je vole
📝ENGLISH:
(She falls…)
(But she rises…)
I fall —
But I’m reborn
Under cold neon
I become ballet
Strike by strike
I carve my path
The gleam of glass
Under my steps
Step by step, floor in friction
They watch — but say nothing
There’s blood in my voice
But the rhythm believes me
Every pirouette
Is rebellion in motion
I dance (I dance)
Even broken
I draw (I draw)
Sharp, clean lines
Love — unnecessary
Friendship — fragile
What I want:
Light
Stage
And style
(You’re cracking…)
(You’re not ready…)
No — I break
But I go on
Glass beneath me
Still I dance —
Again
Again
Again
Discipline.
Violence.
Beauty.
Silence.
Each note —
A digital scream
Each leap —
A brutal code
I dance (I dance)
Even broken
I draw (I draw)
Sharp, clean lines
I am
The rage on pointe
The noise
Inside the white tutu
Shattered glass
On the floor
But me —
I fly
