Dark pop with gothic rock pulse, mid-tempo swung drum groove and pulsing bass; verse stays sparse with low guitar and clipped percussion, pre-chorus lifts on tense harmony stacks, chorus opens with bigger snare and chant doubles on the hook. Whispered leads in verses, doubled raspy vocals on chorus, short delay throws on key words, reversed swells into each lift, glossy but shadowy mix with a cold, close-mic intimacy.
