I’m no singer. However, I really wanted vocals on this. So I pitch-shifted my voice and heavily processed it to sound like a female robot. Accidentally, I half-way replicated a Daft Punk vocal tone!
With modern metal being my background, I wanted to see if I could handle writing a synthpop track. The biggest challenge was the lyrics. I knew I wanted to make a very cute sounding track, with somewhat dark-ish lyrics. Symbolism! It just creates a cool contrast, in my opinion.
The song is basically about two worn-out, anxious/stressed entities being enamored with the ‘cold machine'(death) and the idea of a ‘long’ break. Making a suicide pact; Regretting their decision once it’s too late.
LYRICS:
They will say:
We’ll never fucking learn
We are so far gone
Headed for an early grave
I don’t think I want to stop it
Safe to say:
We never fucking learned
We are so fucked now
We can see our hairs turn gray
I don’t think I want to stay here
Pale hands shake
Desperate for
A vibrant grip to wake us
Tears of joy?
Well, we don’t know.
The cold machine will save us.
Bloody nose
and full pink moons.
The sequel sure did come soon
Dear hang on, oh please hang on
The cold machine must feed now
“Wait!”
“No!”
“No!..”
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
They will say:
We’ll never fucking learn
We are so far gone
Headed for an early grave
I don’t think I want to stop it
Safe to say:
We never fucking learned
We are so fucked now
We can see our hairs turn gray
I don’t think I want to stay here
La-la-la-la-la…
We feel young, yet so damn old.
Daily heart attacks.
Are these the new norm?
Sundress vibes and sharpened knives.
We hid it well, but i know you’re bored.
In a few, when we depart,
In my sequel, where will I find you?
Attention: Its our time.
The cold machine will say a few words:
Maybe if we bury each other
Fire in my room
We’ll know what to do
Baby we should bury each other
Found pills in my room
We’ll know what to do
Maybe if we bury each other
Fire in my room
We’ll know what to do
Baby if we bury each other
You won’t be as scared
I will join too.
They will say:
We’ll never fucking learn
We are so far gone
Headed for an early grave
I don’t think I want to stop it
Safe to say:
We never fucking learned
We are so fucked now
We can see our hairs turn gray
I don’t think I want to stay here
La-la-la-la-la…
(We died so damn young)
La-la-la-la-la…
(We died so damn young)
Maybe if we bury each other
(We died so damn young)
Fire in my room
We’ll know what to do
Baby we should bury each other
(We died so damn young)
Found pills in my room
We’ll know what to do
