[Intro]
[Single pulse oscillator.]
[One note every bar.]
[Slow filter sweep over eight bars.]
[16th-note arpeggiator fades in.]
[No melody yet.]
[Everything should feel like machinery waking.]
Ah...
Ah...
Oooo...
[Verse]
[Long sustained vowels.]
[Each phrase crescendos then falls.]
[Glide gently between distant notes.]
[Allow breath between every second phrase.]
[Keep phrasing spacious.]
Beyond the wires,
Beyond the fire,
Something is waking...
[Instrumental]
[Three independent arpeggiators.]
[One ascending.]
[One descending.]
[One randomly shifting octaves.]
[Keep strict 4/4.]
[Continuously evolve filter cutoff, resonance, delay and stereo width.]
[Make every four bars subtly different.]
[Pre-Chorus]
[Increase rhythmic density.]
[Alternate legato and staccato.]
[Occasional octave jumps.]
[Backing voices echo one beat later.]
Oh...
Carry me...
Carry me...
[Chorus]
[Maximum energy.]
[Massive synth stacks.]
[Huge reverbs.]
[Double the vocal harmonies.]
[Alternate sustained notes with rapid arpeggiated vocal figures.]
[Voice should sound triumphant rather than aggressive.]
We become the light,
Turning through the night,
Higher...
Higher...
Higher...
[Instrumental Break]
[Percussion continues.]
[No lead vocal.]
[Arpeggiators weave around one another.]
[Introduce suspended chords, major sevenths and ninths.]
[Automation is constantly evolving.]
[Everything should shimmer.]
[Bridge]
[Almost everything drops away.]
[One lonely pulse.]
[Whispered vocal.]
[Rebuild gradually over sixteen bars.]
[Every repetition grows wider and brighter.]
Still...
Still becoming...
[Final Chorus]
[The largest soundstage in the song.]
[All synth layers active.]
[Dense sixteenth-note arpeggios.]
[Huge octave doubling.]
[Choirs orbit around the lead.]
[Finish with overwhelming forward momentum.]
We are still becoming...
Still becoming...
Still becoming...
[Outro]
[Remove percussion.]
[Arpeggiators gradually lose notes.]
[Pads remain.]
[One repeating tone.]
[Very long reverb tail.]
[Fade into silence.]
