[Title: Signal Blood]
[start]
[intro, male emergency dispatch voice]
[sub bass drone, traffic signal percussion]
[prepared piano hits, clean guitar delay]
[subtle glitch accents, no audience ambience]
Male:
Signal network unstable.
Pulse detected in all routes.
Do not follow the red.
[verse, fast female vocal]
Every light on Saint Morrow
Started beating out of time
Every map on every dashboard
Drew a vein instead of line
[studio drum kit, electric bass guitar]
[baritone guitar chugs, tight industrial groove]
Nova saw the grid was breathing
Juno lit the warning flood
Cassian whispered from the transit feed
That is not a road, it’s blood
[pre chorus, rising tension]
[cello swell, dotted eighth guitar delay]
I can feel it in the concrete
I can hear it in my teeth
If the city wants my heartbeat
It can come and count me
[chorus, female belt hook]
[hard industrial trance drop]
[layered gang vocals, polished studio mix]
Signal blood
Run it through me
I am scared, but I am moving
Signal blood
Red and holy
If I break, I break wide open
All the roads are shutting down
All the lights are turning flood
I am not your lost machine
I got signal, I got blood
[post chorus, catchy hook]
[solo french horn motif, guitar delay]
I got signal
I got blood
I got signal
I got blood
[verse 2, rhythmic female vocal]
Bram stepped over fallen wires
Keys still shaking in his coat
Echo wrote across the bus glass
You are more than what you owe
[male dispatch voice]
Citizen pulse rising.
Traffic obedience failing.
[female vocal, sharper]
Good.
Let it fail in the system
Let it crack in the mud
I was quiet for a lifetime
Now I’m loud enough for blood
[bridge, drums drop out]
[soft piano, cello swell]
If I am only damage
Then damage can survive
If I am only signal
Then signal is alive
[final chorus, massive cinematic EDM]
[hard trance drop, baritone guitar]
[studio drums, brass stabs]
Signal blood
Run it through me
I am scared, but I am moving
Signal blood
Red and holy
If I break, I break wide open
All the roads are shutting down
All the lights are turning flood
I am not your lost machine
I got signal, I got blood
[final hook, layered female vocals]
I got signal
I got blood
I got signal
I got blood
[instrumental outro]
[sub bass drone fading]
[clean guitar delay tail]
[prepared piano echoes]
[male dispatch voice breaking]
Male:
Route pulse unresolved.
City heart exposed.
