The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man

Dark pop indie electronica. Slow intimate beginning that progressively builds into an epic emotional peak at three quarters of the song, followed by a final quarter instrumental outro that becomes experimental and deconstructed. Male falsetto vocals, fragile and wavering at first, with increasing layers of harmony as the song progresses. Moody synths, subtle guitars, electronic beats, atmospheric textures. Dynamic rise from minimal arrangement to powerful euphoric climax. Influences: Radiohead, Thom Yorke, Gorillaz, Damon Albarn, Modest Mouse. Emotional arc: fear, surrender, transformation, euphoria. tempo: medium-slow mood: melancholic, introspective, cinematic vocals: male falsetto structure: gradual build, layered harmonies, experimental outro

[Verse 1] I woke up hanging upside down My pockets full of empty sound A silver thread around my wrist A list of things I never fixed [Pre-Chorus] Hold still Don’t run The turning has already begun [Chorus] I’m learning how to fall without a fight Learning how to open up my eyes Turning fear into a different shape Giving up the ghost I used to make I’m hanging by a fragile little thread Every thought unravels in my head In the dark I feel the fever grow Maybe I don’t need to let it go [Verse 2] I felt the teeth beneath my skin A second heartbeat settling in A foreign moon inside my chest Saying child you need to rest [Pre-Chorus] Hold still Let go There are things you’re meant to know Let go Let go [Chorus] I’m learning how to fall without a fight Learning how to open up my eyes Turning fear into a different shape Giving up the ghost I used to make [Bridge] All my life I ran from change Kept my heart inside a cage Counted days and counted cost Terrified of getting lost [Build] I am not breaking I am becoming I am not breaking I am becoming [Final Chorus] I’m hanging in a brilliant burst of light Every shadow turning into sight In the dark I felt the fever grow Now I finally don’t need to let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go [Outro – Instrumental Only]
