Work Text:
[Intro]
(Whispered: "Blackpink in your area" style vibe)
(Whisper) Love like poison...
Yeah, keep me under.
[Verse 1]
(Deep bass, percussive vocals. Low register.)
You mess with my head, neon lights in the dark,
Feeding the flame with just one little spark.
I’m trapped in the maze of the things that you say,
But I’m addicted, I can't walk away.
(Korean: 난 너에게 중독돼, 떠날 수 없어)(Korean in english: I'm addicted to you, I can't leave.)
[Pre-Chorus]
(Tempo builds, strings rise. Fast rhythmic claps.)
The mirror is breaking, the walls are all thin,
I'm losing the war that I'm currently in.
One step to the edge, one step to the fall,
Wait... are you gonna answer my call?
[Chorus]
(The Beat Drop: Heavy, aggressive synths. High-energy dance break.)
I’m in love with the way you... (Breakbeat)
Go ahead and BREAK ME!
Yeah, I’m in love with the way you... (Heavy Bass)
Come and try to ERASE ME!
It’s a toxic cycle, yeah it’s beautiful pain,
I’m dancing alone in your hurricane!
[Verse 2 - Rap Section]
(Fast-paced, sharp delivery with trap hi-hats.)
Check it. You’re a habit I can’t quit, a fire I can’t sit
Through the smoke and the mirrors, yeah you’re perfect for it.
Repeat the mistake, yeah a million times,
I’m the victim and partner in all of your crimes.
(Korean: 너의 미움조차 달콤해, call it a crime) (Korean in English: Even your hatred is sweet.)
[Bridge]
(Music stops. Solo piano. Vocalist hits a soaring high note.)
If I walk away, would you even try to find me?
Or would you leave the memory of us behind me?
(High Note) DON'T LET ME GO!
[Final Chorus]
(Maximum volume. Added "shouting" vocals in the background for impact.)
I’m in love with the way you... HATE ME!
Yeah, I’m in love with the way you... MAKE ME!
(Ad-libs: Toxic love! So beautiful!)
[Outro]
(Music fades to a low, ominous synth hum.)
(Whisper) Love like poison.
(Sharp silence)
