The Numero Guide to Cold Wave & Minimal Synth

Intro — slow, submerged]

[sound of bubbles, distant glass shatter]

In the water,
the light bends slow.
Shadows move
where you can’t go.

Bubbles rise,
slip from your hands,
drifting higher,
out of command.

[ acoustic electric guitar rhytmic solo ]
[ instrumental intermezzo]

[Verse 1]
You never thought
it would pull you in,
but signs were drawn
beneath your skin.
You closed your eyes,
[ bridge ]
you turned away —
the truth you hid,
[ bridge]
still found a way.

⸻

[Refrain ,whispered, layered]
Water all around you,
water breathing calm.
Your chest is slow,
your mind is numb.
Oxygen?
Just another plan… gone wrong.

⸻

Instrumental break
[hypnotic synth swells,
sharp electric guitar lines
cutting through the pulse]

⸻

[Verse 2]
Sirens call,
their voices near —
soft as knives
that you can hear.
[ bridge]
They ask for a smile,
they hand you hope,
but in your eyes
[ bridge]
the depths still grow.

⸻

[Refrain]
Water all around you,
water breathing calm.
Your chest is slow,
your mind is numb.
Oxygen?
[ bridge]
Just another plan… gone wrong.

⸻

Bridge — mantra style
Bubbles rise,
bubbles fade…
They don’t return,
they drift away.

⸻

[Outro ,fading]
([ow ocean waves,
a single synth note holding]
Water all around you…
Water all around you…
Gone.

[ instrumental outro ]
