Lyric

Ghosts in the City

OTTO Music

[Intro: Moody atmospheric synths and soft finger snaps]

(Deep breath) Yeah

Late night. Cruising

Just ghosts and me

[Verse 1: Melodic and smooth R&B vocals]

Cruising down Hollywood, neon lights blurring my view (Blinding)

Checking my phone again, nothing but silence from you (Silent)

Told me we were forever, now it's just echoes and dust (Echoes)

In this velvet dark, I'm running out of trust

We were flying high, now we're falling down so deep (Down deep)

Secrets in the smoke, promises that you couldn't keep

[Verse 2: More rhythmic flow, Melodic Trap vibe]

(Uh-huh) Hard heart, cold world, I'm fading to black

Ain't no turn in' back, ain't no taking track (Yeah!)

You ghosted me, left me floating in the urban rain (Rain)

Now I'm numbing the pain, till I don't feel a thing (Numb)

See your face in every stranger passing by my ride

But I know you're just a phantom, with nowhere left to hide

[Pre-Chorus: Building energy, emotional tension]

(Slowing down slightly, harmonies layered)

Their cold, piercing stares cut through the deep of night

But the fire in my soul will never lose its light

(Ready to drop)

[Chorus: High Energy Pop Anthem, powerful Hook]

Chasing ghosts in the city, feeling so hollow and vain (So vain!)

Just a whisper of your shadow, driving me totally insane

Dancing on the edge, yeah, the air is so clear (Hah!)

Say goodbye to the memories and the fear

We ain't stopping, we ain't falling (We won't fall!)

Everything’s a mess, but I’m standing tall!

[Dance Break: Distorted Bass & Sharp synth solo with heavy 808s]

(Go! Go! Yeah, feel the heat!)

[Bridge: Stripped down, emotional and vulnerable]

(Drums removed, atmospheric pads only)

Used to be us against the whole wide world

Now it's just silence, not a single word

(Drums come back, building intensity)

No more lies, no more fear!

(Shouting) Raise your voice! Right now! (Hoo!)

[Final Chorus: Maximum Energy, layered vocals, huge sound]

Chasing ghosts in the city, feeling so hollow and vain (So vain!)

Just a whisper of your shadow, driving me totally insane

Dancing on the edge, yeah, the air is so clear (Hah!)

Say goodbye to the memories and the fear

We ain't stopping, we ain't falling (We won't fall!)

Welcome to my nightmare, now watch me shine!

[Outro: Soft fading synths, cool ad-libs]

(Shine on... Shine on...) Ghosts in the city

(Shine on... Shine on...) No pity

(Whisper) "System error... Wake."

(Fading out with a slow distorted synth)
