Blazed Cuts
(Distorted 808s roll in heavy,
layered with raw tape hiss and a cold,
pulsing synth pad) FR: Stabilize the logic,
'cause the system wants to break.
No cap, the dosage is heavy tonight.
Two hundred milligrams to quiet down the screen,
Walking through the fog of a digital routine.
How much of this pressure can a tired heartbeat take,
When every single memory is trembling and fake?
FR: Je cherche l'équilibre dans le chaos de la nuit,
Trying to find a frequency where everything feels right.
(Hi-hats start skittering in complex math-pop rhythms,
tension rising
sharply) Firewall is holding,
but the core is running hot,
Am I getting better,
or just rotting in this spot?
ES: Tomando el control,
pero duele la cabeza,
Trapped inside the architecture of a slow relapse.
(Massive wall of sound,
distorted sub-bass swelling with cinematic strings) Stabilize the voltage,
keep the system from the brink!
We’re medicating shadows just to stop the sink.
Between the phantom signals and the space where we exist,
FR: Je nage dans le vide,
et tu n'y es plusiste.
Yeah, it's a heavy dose of reality,
Living in the static of a remedy!
(The beat
drops out completely, leaving only a haunting,
reversed vocal sample and intimate,
breathy
vocal fry) Take a breath,
count it down, let the chemistry settle,
We're just soft flesh trapped in heavy metal.
You want a clean break,
want a brand new start,
Mais le médicament n'efface pas un cœur brisé en part.
(A soaring, heavily delayed lead guitar cuts through the static,
bleeding into a wall of heavy 808 pressure)
(Full heavy math-pop drop,
dual vocals soaring and harmonizing) Stabilize the voltage,
keep the system from the brink!
We’re medicating shadows just to stop the sink.
Between the phantom signals and the space where we exist,
FR: Je nage dans le vide,
et tu n'y es plusiste.
Yeah, it's a heavy dose of reality,
Living in the static of a remedy!
(The instruments slowly decay into deep reverb,
leaving a solitary synth pulse) Keep the script locked.
Don't let the system crash.
FR:
Fin du
diagnostic. (A sharp, mechanical click of a pill bottle closing) Tiguidou
