Lyrics
by brutus
I once chased hues with ravenous eyes
Verse 1 - Rubato, Fragile Introspection
I once chased hues with ravenous eyes,
Vocal: whispered consonants on "hues" and "lies"
Till colors bled to shapeless lies—
Microtonal ornaments (↑¼ tone)
The prism cracked, its truth unspun,
A blind man kneels where light begun
Verse 2 - Subverted Reality
No shadow dares to cross my door,
Yet rainbows writhe beneath the floor
The stars you praise as night's frail crown,
Burn dimmer than my darkness grown
Stabilizes to 4/4 with hidden polyrhythm (3:4 string ostinato)
Pre-Chorus - Sensory Inversion
glottal stops on "ash and bone"
My palette burned to ash and bone,
Now deathless pigments pulse alone—
A moth's wing beats in C-sharp blue,
Sunset's chord trembles through my shoe
7/8 (2+2+3) creating urgency
Chorus - Synesthetic Catharsis
O lend me night's ebony lute,
To pluck the spectrum gone mute!
Five sorrows strung on silver wire,
Play oblivion in sapphire fire
