Vocal Processing: The use of heavy reverb, delay, and pitch shifting.
(Intro: A pulsing, synthetic heartbeat. Distorted vocal sample whispers: “Remember…”)
Verse 1
Neon spills like synthetic rain
Across the pavement, a coded stain
You stand there, glitch in the glow
A phantom spark in the city’s flow
The air hums, current comes alive
Like a system booting, you arrive
Scripts rewrite, memory rebuilt
Another loop, another ghost fulfilled
Pre-Chorus
Rain on the wires, smoke in the seams
A phantom pull inside my dreams
I’ve felt this current drag me deep
Lost in the circuit, falling asleep
Chorus
Chrome & echo, fractured design
Patterns repeating in your eyes, aligned
We built a kingdom on borrowed code
Digital ghosts, a weight we owed
Chrome & echo, predictable grace
Caught in the current, a haunted space
We know the ending before it begins
Chrome & echo, does anyone win?
Verse 2
Your hand finds mine, reflex replay
Like a process stuck, too long delayed
Laughter echoes, the smiles loop tight
Moments recycled, fading from sight
We’re trapped in the server’s sleepless glow
Diagnostics running, no place to go
Searching for breaks in a flawless scheme
But the code just loops, recurring dream
Pre-Chorus
Rain on the wires, smoke in the seams
A phantom pull inside my dreams
This feeling lingers, sharp and strange
Another ghost, nothing to change
Chorus
Chrome & echo, fractured design
Patterns repeating in your eyes, aligned
We built a kingdom on borrowed time
Signal collapsing, paradigm
Chrome & echo, bittersweet refrain
Washing through me again and again
We know the ending before it begins
Chrome & echo, does anyone win?
Bridge (tempo slows, layered reverb)
Is this connection, or just algorithm?
Shadows feeding through a prism
Chasing data, coded desire
Lost in the signal, drowned in the fire
(Instrumental Break – glitchy, distorted memories loop and decay)
Chorus
Chrome & echo, fractured design
Patterns repeating in your eyes, aligned
We built a kingdom on borrowed time
Signal collapsing, paradigm
Chrome & echo, bittersweet refrain
Washing through me again and again
We know the ending before it begins
Chrome & echo, does anyone win?
Outro (synth heartbeat slows, distorted voice whispers: “Restart…”)
Chrome… echo… [fade to silence]
