A sonic collision where Shakespearean form meets cyberpunk Aotearoa. Electronic glitch beats fuse with taonga pūoro and karakia chanting as the shapeshifter archetype dances through fourteen lines of digital transformation. Mercury masks slip through definition—Hero morphs to Trickster, anima pirouettes with animus through identity's masquerade. Heavy synthesizers clash with Māori-influenced guitar riffs, CCTV static bleeds into fiber optic hums, PayWave beeps punctuate ancient wisdom.Vocals shapeshift from playful to intense, clean delivery warping through electronic processing, pitch shifts, digital distortion. The sonnet's rigid structure contains wild chaos—each persona a promise, each mask a debt to authenticity's escapade. F# minor mystery meets F# major revelation as reality glitches and encoded whakapapa fades into static.

Shapeshifter's Sonnet  ( Lyrics )

The shapeshifter archetype is the universal pattern 
of transformation, adaptability, and hidden identity

Each face I've worn holds truth and lies entwined
Mercury masks that slip through definition
Hero's blade today (though courage blind)
Tomorrow's Trickster teaching demolition

I whisper secrets to my midnight self
(While wisdom mocks my fool's enlightenment)
And nurse the dragons shelved on memory's shelf
Their scales both wound and precious ornament

In shadow-light, my anima pirouettes
With animus through identity's masquerade
Each persona a promise, each mask a debt
To authenticity's wild escapade

Upon this stage where every role's disguise
My truest self wears transformation's eyes

Shapeshifter’s Sonnet

[Verse]
The night is slow, but my heart still runs,
Every beat — it becomes your drums.
You lift me high where the light can’t fade,
Love like this, it can’t be made.

[Chorus]
You’re takin’ me out of the ordinary,
I want you layin’ me down ’til we’re dead and buried.
On the edge of your knife, stayin’ drunk on your vine,
The angels up in the clouds are jealous — knowin’ we found.

[Drop / Hook]
Out of the ordinary,
You and me — so heavenly.
Out of the ordinary,
You and me — endlessly.

[Bridge]
Your touch, electric, burns through the haze,
I lose myself, but I want to stay.
The angels up in the clouds are jealous — knowin’ we found.

(Final Drop)
Out of the ordinary,
You and me — so heavenly.

Ordinary

This one’s dark cinematic trap + hyperpop with Psalm 23 as the spine.
BPM: 150 (fast, anxious, then euphoric). Length: 2:55.
Viral hook built for TikTok “shadow walk” transitions (think silhouette flips under streetlights).
