So Lonely

[Intro/ A clean electric guitar (Clean + Chorus + Reverb) plays a slow, lonely strumming. The drums and bass are silent] [Verse 1/ Vocals: quiet, intimate, clean, close to the microphone/ Music: only clean guitar strumming, no drums] I WANted you to know [guitar string] I loved your LAUGH so much Please LET my sorrow go [guitar string] And hold me WITH your touch Your SWEET eyes from the frame [guitar string] Now LIVE within my mind As IF you're here the same [guitar string] And pain is left beHIND... [fading into a whisper on the exhale] [Chorus 1/ INSTANT EXPLOSION: Guitar switches to powerful distortion, heavy rock beat and bass enter] [Vocals: Powerful backing, double-tracking (doubling your voice), light grunge grit] SO COLD [BARREL BLAST + Small] and LONEly, this endless parting I have NO STRENGTH [SMALL IMPACT] left to get through the night DeSTROYED [BARREL BLAST + Small] and BROken, my world is falling Since on the DAY [SMALL IMPACT] you WALKED out of my sight [Verse 2/ SHARP DECLINE: The distortion turns off. The guitar plays a clean strumming again. The drummer taps the rim softly with his stick (Rimshot), the bass produces occasional low notes] [Vocals: Again one track, melancholic, but denser and more confident than in Verse 1] I'll LEAVE it all behind [THE QUIET KNOCK OF THE Rim] BREATHE freely once again We COULDn't save or find [THE QUIET KNOCK OF THE Rim] The LOVE we had back then I WANted you to hold [THE QUIET KNOCK OF THE Rim] To MAKE the sadness cease But NOW the world is cold [THE QUIET KNOCK OF THE Rim] IlLUsions gone in peace [Chorus 2 / RE-EXPLOSION: Distortion maxed out, guitars channeled, drummer slamming cymbals (Crash)] [Vocals: The double-track is even louder, with a harsh, grunge-like throb appearing on the highlighted lyrics] So cold [accent CRASH + SMALL] and lonely, this endless parting I’m searching for you, [accent SMALL] but everything’s tight Destroyed [accent CRASH + SMALL] and broken, my world is falling Without you here [accent SMALL], I can’t carry the fight [POST-CHORUS/ MAXIMUM INTENSITY: Heavy guitars are joined by a fast acoustic guitar for air and density, drums thunder] [Vocals: A third track is added (background screaming), the lead vocals go into full-blown vocal splitting (screaming/drive)] SO COLD [HARD KICK SMALL] And LONELY, this endless parting! [Back shout] : SO COLD! I'm searching for you, [HARD KICK SMALL], but everything's tight! [Back shout] : SEARCHING! Destroyed [HARD KICK SMALL] and broken, my world is falling! [Back shout] : BROKEN! Without you here [HARD KICK SMALL], I can't carry the fight! [Outro/ FINAL STOP-TIME] [On the last word, "FIGHT!", the vocals, all the distorted guitars, and drums SIMULTANEOUSLY deliver one powerful, abrupt blow and fall silent/ The silence is filled with only 2-3 seconds of muddy guitar feedback (background) and your heavy, tired exhalation [the microphone fades out]
