There are songs you hear. There are songs you sing. And then there are songs like “Insert Track Four Here”—songs that hear you back.

A hypnotic, slow-burning descent into the uncanny, “Insert Track Four Here” isn’t just a track—it’s a meta-sonic experience. The fourth track on an otherwise unnamed record, it emerges like a ghost file you weren’t meant to find. From the opening verse—a hushed confession scrawled across the walls of a dream—it beckons listeners into a haunting spiral of self-erasure and creative possession.

    “I opened my mouth— / And the song sang me too.”

The pre-chorus floats like a memory you forgot to have: ghostly vocals layered like breath on glass, asking questions no answer could comfort. And then the chorus hits—big, cinematic, addictive, the kind that echoes long after the speakers have fallen silent. It's a hook designed to be remembered... or maybe to remember you.

Sonically, the song is a shape-shifter. It grows more urgent with every verse: glitching rhythms, reversed whispers, and a pulsing undercurrent of dread that builds to a bridge where chaos and control become indistinguishable. Time fractures. Sounds reverse. The melody becomes a mirror—and you’re not sure who’s looking back.

And then comes that line:

    “Maybe I was the song.”
    Delivered with eerie clarity, it’s not a climax—it’s a surrender.

By the end, you’ve been unwound, rewritten, rethreaded. The final chorus rises like a possessed choir, triumphant and terrifying all at once. It doesn’t resolve. It doesn’t end. It listens.

And when silence finally returns… it feels staged. Like it’s waiting. Like the song is still in the room.

“Insert Track Four Here” is a concept piece disguised as a haunting alt ballad. It’s for fans of artists like Radiohead, Chelsea Wolfe, Nine Inch Nails, or Lingua Ignota—those who crave sound that scratches at the walls between reality and art, between listener and voice.

Play it once, and you’ll be humming it in your dreams.

Play it twice… and it might start humming you.
