03 Chapter III Nostalgic Mannerisms

The Fall of Troy Chapter II  A Strange Conversation

Work-in-progress version — vocals are recorded, but not fully completed yet.
Sharing this early take to hear how the track feels as a whole and to see how the concept translates before finishing the remaining vocal parts.
The song is written in E major, which creates an intentional contrast: a brighter tonal center carrying a dark, dystopian message.
What the track is about:
It tells the story of a person who no longer thinks for themselves — someone guided by a “mind that’s never lived,” trapped in a world where machines, systems, and artificial voices replace human instinct. As this future tightens its grip, their inner self collapses long before anything dies on the outside.
The track explores the loss of free will, the fading of identity, and the quiet moment of realization that arrives too late to change anything.
A bleak, atmospheric piece wrapped in a deceptively major key — where hope and doom exist in the same space.
