Scarlett Ashcroft - Glass Kingdom

Dark wave gothic with female vocals, mid-tempo pulse and a cold, swaying groove; verse rides sparse synth bass, cracked clockwork toms, and tense arpeggios, pre-chorus strips to low drone and heartbeat kick, chorus opens with stacked harmonies and a minor-key hook, Breathy close-mic lead with doubled lows, airy octave tails, and ghostly backing oohs; reversed swells, glassy chimes, and a distant thunder roll into the drop, Wide, icy, cinematic mix with sharp edges and deep black space, sophisticated, melancholia, emotional, fresh, dark wave, female vocals, theme [Verse 1] My keys turn slow In tower nineteen The hallway glows Like a failed dream Mail on the mat No name on mine I hear thin footsteps Pass every time [Pre-Chorus] Through the pane I see my face Split in the glass Then lose my shape [Chorus] Glass kingdom, hold me Glass kingdom, show me We live so high Still nobody knows me Glass kingdom, hold me Glass kingdom, hold me A thousand windows And none of them home [Verse 2] Across the lane A woman eats Under blue-white squares At half-past three She lifts her cup I lift mine too Two silent queens In separate rooms [Pre-Chorus] The city hums Like a locked machine It watches us But never sees [Chorus] Glass kingdom, hold me Glass kingdom, show me We live so high Still nobody knows me Glass kingdom, hold me Glass kingdom, hold me A thousand windows And none of them home [Bridge] I press my palm To the clean cold wall A flawless cage That names us all If I fall Would you look down? Or just keep the curtains Drawn to the sound [Final Chorus] Glass kingdom, hold me Glass kingdom, show me We live so high Still nobody knows me Glass kingdom, hold me Glass kingdom, hold me A thousand windows And none of them home Glass kingdom, hold me (hold me) Glass kingdom, hold me (hold me)
