ST-airs
Pounding hard techno fusion with industrial heavy metal kicks drive the pulse beneath haunting dark wave synth pads and melodic arpeggios. Crisp claps and hi-hats inject 80s disco flair while tense analog basslines weave syncopated rhythms. Breakdowns hit with icy synth stabs, reverb-drenched toms, and a variable deep, heartbeat-like bass for dramatic peaks.

Lyrics
stairs UP
stairs DOWN
(again, again...)
ascend — descend
it is a game
the game of LIFE
(of life, of life, of life...)
descend — ascend
down and up
stairs
stars
and
dust
dust
and
stars
ash
and
blood
falling through
the flood
stairs // scars
etched in bone
data loops
in monochrome
we climb — we crawl
we crash — we rise
we blink
then vaporize
the game of LIFE
(of life, of life, of life)
a spiral glitch
a perfect lie
stairs DOWN
stairs UP
push and pull
corrupt and shut
circuits stutter
lungs ignite
voices flicker
out of sight
dust to dust
flesh to code
what is real
is overload
stairs
stars
bars
wars
and we dance
on steel and glass
and we fade
as moments pass
ascend // descend
repeat // erase
burn through the loop
vanish without trace
the light is gone
but stairs remain
we walk them blind
through endless pain
it is a game
a cruel arcade
insert your soul
for one more play
Mid-section breakdown — whispered
breathe in static
dream in dust
climb the spiral
do what you must
eyes like mirrors
feet like lead
you are living
you are dead
(build back in)
stairs UP
stairs DOWN
round and round
sound to sound
pulse and push
twist and turn
feed the code
and let it burn
dust
and
stars
we are
stairs
up and down
never far
ascend — descend — ascend — descend
forever in the end...
(forever in the end...)
Repeat with syncopation
Double tempo — layering distortion
Accelerate into noise drop // synthetic collapse
stairs UP
stairs DOWN
(again, again...)
ascend — descend
it is a game
the game of LIFE
(of life, of life, of life...)
descend — ascend
down and up
stairs
stars
and
dust
dust
and
stars
ash
and
blood
falling through
the flood
stairs // scars
etched in bone
data loops
in monochrome
we climb — we crawl
we crash — we rise
we blink
then vaporize
the game of LIFE
(of life, of life, of life)
a spiral glitch
a perfect lie
stairs DOWN
stairs UP
push and pull
corrupt and shut
circuits stutter
lungs ignite
voices flicker
out of sight
dust to dust
flesh to code
what is real
is overload
stairs
stars
bars
wars
and we dance
on steel and glass
and we fade
as moments pass
ascend // descend
repeat // erase
burn through the loop
vanish without trace
the light is gone
but stairs remain
we walk them blind
through endless pain
it is a game
a cruel arcade
insert your soul
for one more play
Final rise: whisper, scream, vanish
