Dopamine

Verse 1
Last night I had a dream about you,
The sky was bleeding shades of blue.
Your eyes cut through the static air,
Like I’d known you all my life right there.

I woke up with your name on my tongue,
Heart beating like a loaded gun.
Can’t shake the light you left in me,
Feels like I’m finally learning to breathe.

Pre-Chorus
And I don’t care if I fall too fast,
I’ve been waiting for something that lasts.

Chorus
I’m diving headfirst into you,
No fear, no doubts, no parachute.
Every heartbeat feels brand new,
If this is love, I’ll crash right through.
I’m diving headfirst — into you.

Verse 2
Your voice still haunts the morning haze,
Like sunlight breaking through my veins.
I see forever in your silhouette,
And I’m not scared of the fall just yet.

Pre-Chorus
Every scar fades when I see your face,
I’ve found my reason in this place.

Chorus
I’m diving headfirst into you,
No fear, no doubts, no parachute.
Every heartbeat feels brand new,
If this is love, I’ll crash right through.
I’m diving headfirst — into you.

Bridge
Let the noise fade out, let the stars align,
You’re the chaos I’ve been dying to find.
If this is a dream, don’t wake me yet,
I’m not ready to forget.

Breakdown
I’ve been lost in a loop too long,
But your name rewrote my song.

Chorus
I’m diving headfirst into you,
No fear, no doubts, no parachute.
Every heartbeat feels brand new,
If this is love, I’ll crash right through.
I’m diving headfirst — into you.

Outro
Last night I had a dream about you…
And now I don’t want to wake up.

Headfirst

Concept
The Hunger is the moment the Abyss reveals its true face.
After being lured by familiar voices and memories, the protagonist finally sees the entity that has been stalking him since the moment he crossed the threshold.
It is not a creature of flesh or bone, but a vast, ancient intelligence made of shadow, instinct, and need.
It shapes itself from fear.
It learns from longing.
It feeds on broken hearts and the pieces of the self left unguarded.
“The Hunger” is not just something in the Abyss.
It is the Abyss.
The soundscape is suffocating, immense, and relentless — the embodiment of something that has waited ages for a soul to wander too far from the light.
Visual Concept
The cover art depicts a lone figure facing a colossal shadow-beast, its glowing eyes burning like coals through the darkness.
Volumetric blue lighting reveals only hints of its form:
curling tendrils, jagged silhouettes, a shape too large and too wrong to fully comprehend.
The man stands small, illuminated only by the faint glow around him — a spark of resistance against a world designed to consume him.
This is the instant where fear becomes revelation.
Place in the Album Narrative
At this point in THE ABYSS:
The protagonist has seen memories, ghosts, and illusions.
He has survived predators and temptations.
He has followed a voice he hoped was real.
Now he encounters the truth behind it all:
a being that hungers not for flesh, but for identity, longing, and hope.
This track is the turning point where survival becomes a question of will rather than escape.
For the Listener
Listen in the quiet between notes.
Feel the air tighten around each breath.
Let the weight of the dark press inward.
This is not just a monster.
This is the Abyss…
and it is hungry.
