Dance of Death

Author Comments

I have created my new song "Dance Of Death"!


This song is about a person who is dealing with problems and trying to find a light in the darkness. There will be always a new chapter after hard times, and the character in the song is about to open this new page in their life. They also know that it will be not easy to forget the unpleasant past, but they will surely try the best they can. The person also understands that it is better to enjoy the moment, always dancing, while it is possible because tomorrow may never come.


A brief overview of the process: In this song, I focused on a strong sound. I wanted the instruments to sound bold, energetic, and with a slightly dark vibe. For the beats, I used Groove Agent from Steinberg. As for vocals, I used a plugin from Waves called "CLA Vocals" which helped me make the voice tracks sound full. I also added different backing vocals for harmonies. Only original melody ideas.


LYRICS:


I was spending my time
On the things I hated
Now I look from the side
With closed eyes
I'm not fading away
Just waiting for another day
So good with you
Better without me

Ticking time
Different rhyme
Looking for something inside
What the hell am I?
I broke a glass
And get lost in the dust
I'm losing my mind
Ticking and ticking time
How dare I
How dare am I
Thinking that you're mine
Hi again
And let me break your rules
Your rules

I'll do my best to get through the past
Take my car and go to sleep
To sleep
Cheer up and take a breath
This is dance of death
Smile until the sky turns black
Turns black

I'm here
Pretend to be like me
So well and so fake
I know it
Don't say it
This room is so cramped
I wanna get out
I'm feeling this smoke
But the doors are locked

Ticking time
Different rhyme
Looking for something inside
What the hell am I?
I broke a glass
And get lost in the dust
I'm losing my mind
Ticking and ticking time
How dare I
How dare am I
Thinking that you're mine
Hi again
And let me break your rules
Your rules

I'll do my best to get through the past
Take my car and go to sleep
To sleep
Cheer up and take a breath
This is dance of death
Smile until the sky turns black
Turns black

Dance until your heart stops beating
My happiness can't live
It's fleeting
So dance to death
While you are breathing
I just can't exist with fears
Uh-huh

I'll do my best to get through the past
Take my car and go to sleep
To sleep
Cheer up and take a breath
This is dance of death
Smile until the sky turns black
Turns black

I'll do my best to get through the past
Take my car and go to sleep
To sleep
Cheer up and take a breath
This is dance of death
Smile until the sky turns black
Turns black
