Beginning or End
A bass-heavy dance-punk indie-pop track with a deep, dominant low end and hypnotic groove, Open with a thick electric bass riff, slightly overdriven with analog saturation and tight compression, locked to a warm punchy kick, Drums are dry and organic with crisp snare, tight hi-hats, subtle ghost notes, and restrained crash accents, Add sparse percussive guitar stabs, muted picking, and minimal analog synth textures with soft sub reinforcement, Arrangement stays lean and repetitive, building tension through layering, filtering, and subtle automation, Male vocal is close-mic and intimate, half-sung half-spoken with natural phrasing, soft rasp, breath control, light breaks, and relaxed vibrato, slightly behind the beat with conversational tone, widening gently in the chorus with loose doubles, Production is warm, raw, and restrained with light tape saturation, tight low-end control, short plate reverb, minimal delay, and slightly wider choruses

Lyrics
Verse 1
Such a strange attraction
Been here all night
Oh my
Don’t know what to call it
Is this the beginning
Oh is this the end?
Maybe we’re past the start
I wonder
Will we chase it again
Till it comes undone
I’m waiting
Two lonely-lonely seeds sprout
Show us a sign this time
Ah, maybe
We won’t be the same
Chorus
We’ve been through this before
Keep holding on or just let go
We’re still dreamers, babe
Just-just hoping
It’s not for nothing
This-this round
Will be different
Is this the beginning?
Oh-oh, is this the end?
Is this the beginning?
Oh-oh, is this the end?
Perhaps, perhaps, babe
Just let it go,
just for now
Stay in our arms
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Stay in our arms
Verse 2
Remember that arcade bar
You always beat me every time
Said you weren’t even trying
Your laugh proud and beautiful
That place closed down recently
But your voice still gets to me
Still makes me daydream
Now you smell like clementine
That sweet air on your skin
Mmm, babe
Too much beer
But my head is clear
I know what’s happening
Even now, I keep trying
When you smile, babe
Everything gets a little clear
Something tells me
We won’t stay stuck-stuck
in a dark side street
Chorus
We’ve been through this before
Keep holding on or just let go
We’re still dreamers, babe
Just-just hoping
It’s not for nothing
This-this round
Will be different
Is this the beginning?
Oh-oh, is this the end?
Is this the beginning?
Oh-oh, is this the end?
Perhaps, perhaps, babe
Just let it go,
just for now
Stay in our arms
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Stay in our arms
Bridge
Come closer-closer
Two lonely-lonely seeds sprout
Show us-show us a sign
Oh, maybe
It won’t be the same this time
Final Chorus
We’ve been through this before
Keep holding on or just let go
We’re still dreamers, babe
Just-just hoping
It’s not for nothing
This-this round
Will be different
Is this the beginning?
Oh-oh, is this the end?
Is this the beginning?
Oh-oh, is this the end?
Perhaps, perhaps, babe
Just let it go,
just for now
Stay in our arms
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Stay in our arms
Is this the beginning?
Oh-oh, is this the end?
Is this the beginning?
Oh-oh, is this the end?
Is this the beginning?
Oh-oh, is this the end?
