Lyrics
(Verse 1)
[Synth arpeggios with a driving house beat]
World's on mute, muted colors, yeah, that's my display
Same old sunshine, same old faces, nothing lights my way
Except for him, dark sunglasses, ripped jeans and a sneer
Walks in slow motion, like a rockstar from a bygone year
(Pre-Chorus)
[Tempo increases, heavy bass joins the beat]
He whispers secrets in the shadows, quotes from bands I don't know
Leaves trails of cryptic poetry wherever he may go
Got a fire in his eyes, even when he's staring at the floor
Maybe that's the key, gotta find the spark he's got in store
(Chorus)
[Uplifting melody with a strong vocal hook, EDM synths]
Lost in the shadows, with your eyeliner and your pain
You got a darkness that I'm drawn to, like a moth to the flame
Maybe I can break the spell, or maybe I'll get burned
But I'd rather chase your mystery than watch this world unlearned
(Verse 2)
[Rap verse with a laid-back hip-hop beat]
We roam the city after dark, ghosts in a concrete maze
Graveyards and abandoned buildings, those are the places we craze
He talks about forgotten dreams, a world turned cold and numb
But his voice, it cuts through the static, makes my tired heart thrum
(Pre-Chorus)
[Tempo increases, heavy bass joins the beat]
He whispers secrets in the shadows, quotes from bands I don't know
Leaves trails of cryptic poetry wherever he may go
Got a fire in his eyes, even when he's staring at the floor
Maybe that's the key, gotta find the spark he's got in store
(Chorus)
[Uplifting melody with a strong vocal hook, EDM synths]
Lost in the shadows, with your eyeliner and your pain
You got a darkness that I'm drawn to, like a moth to the flame
Maybe I can break the spell, or maybe I'll get burned
But I'd rather chase your mystery than watch this world unlearned
(Bridge)
[Synth breakdown with a pulsing bassline]
They say opposites attract, but they don't know your fire
Maybe I can learn to burn again, with your darkness as my guide
(Chorus)
[Uplifting melody with a strong vocal hook, EDM synths]
Lost in the shadows, with your eyeliner and your pain
You got a darkness that I'm drawn to, like a moth to the flame
Maybe I can break the spell, or maybe I'll get burned
But I'd rather chase your mystery than watch this world unlearned
(Outro)
[House beat fades out with the vocal melody]
Maybe your darkness can teach me to shine, yeah
Maybe your darkness can teach me to shine
