Temporal Rift
(Intro)
(Glitchy sounds of reversed instruments fade in, pulsing erratically)
Tick... tock... it stops, it twists
Time's unraveling in the temporal rift
(Verse 1)
Floating between the cracks in time,
Reality bends, there's no straight line.
Lost in moments that don't exist,
Pulled apart in a timeless twist.
Shadows stretch and whispers fold,
Every second breaking its hold.
Echoes of the past, the future's drift,
Falling deeper in the temporal rift.
(Pre-Chorus)
(Time signature shifts, guitars glitch in and out)
Distort, rewind, replay, then break,
Fractured dreams in the steps we take.
Nowhere to go, everywhere at once,
Lost in the loop, the ticking haunts.
(Chorus)
Through the rift, through the void,
Time decays, we are destroyed.
Minutes fracture, seconds stall,
Temporal rift consumes us all.
(Verse 2)
Forward feels like falling back,
The present snaps, it slips, it cracks.
We try to run but the ground's undone,
Frozen under a fractured sun.
Glimpses of futures never made,
Shattered reflections start to fade.
Caught between what was and could be,
A glitch in time, eternally free.
(Pre-Chorus)
(Drums stutter, glitch effects rise)
Warp and weave, erase and blend,
No start, no middle, no end.
Bound by threads that tear and shift,
Lost forever in the temporal rift.
(Chorus)
Through the rift, through the void,
Time decays, we are destroyed.
Minutes fracture, seconds stall,
Temporal rift consumes us all.
(Bridge)
(Instruments reverse and pulse with scattered glitches)
Falling faster, falling slow,
Time doesn't move, there's nowhere to go.
Fading light, bending space,
Everything collides, leaves no trace.
(Instrumental breakdown, chaotic sounds with shifting time signatures, glitchy reversals, distortion)
(Final Chorus)
Through the rift, through the void,
Time decays, we are destroyed.
Minutes fracture, seconds stall,
Temporal rift consumes us all.
(Outro)
(Distorted, reversed melodies fade out as the glitch effects slowly dissolve into silence)
"Temporal Rift" would be built on an erratic structure with shifting time signatures and glitched instruments, creating an unsettling, fractured sonic landscape. Distorted melodies and reversed effects would evoke a disorienting sense of time breaking down, where every element feels fluid and unstable.
