Neon Wolves Don’t Go Home

PROMPT:

Ethereal art pop, indie electronic, dream pop, synthpop, leftfield pop, atmospheric,
female lead vocal, light alto to high soprano, breathy and intimate, bright airy tone,
multi-layered female harmonies, soft female choir, minimal vibrato, precise phrasing,
warm analog synths, hazy pads, shimmering arpeggios, rounded synth bass,
soft electronic drums, gentle live drum touches, subtle worldbeat percussion,
mid-tempo 130 bpm, steady 4/4 groove, light shuffle, flowing rhythm, danceable but not club,
melancholic but hopeful, bittersweet, romantic, nocturnal city, summer evening,
slightly surreal, psychedelic, cinematic, VHS / retro-futuristic aesthetic,
hints of French indie pop, Eastern European and Japanese melodic flavors,
wide stereo image, lush reverb, smooth delays, tape-style saturation,
polished yet dreamy mix, detailed but soft high end

LYRICS:
[Intro: distant filtered synths, soft vinyl noise, far-away female vocal hums, city-at-night ambience]
(hmm-hmm, ooh-ooh...)

[Verse 1: close-mic female lead, almost whispered, minimal beat, soft synth bass]
Neon buses pass the windows of this quiet tram tonight,
I trace your name on foggy glass, the letters blur in silver light.
Every corner tastes like summer that we never really had,
I pretend I’m walking with you so this city feels less sad.

[Pre-Chorus: small lift in drums, subtle backing harmonies, side-chained pads]
Streetlights flicker like a heartbeat out of time,
I’m out of focus but you’re glowing in my mind.

[Chorus: wide layered female harmonies, 4–6 voices, strong but gentle drums, shimmering arps]
I don’t want to go home lonely through the sleeping avenues,
running with the wolves inside me just to feel a trace of you.
Every shadow turns to colour when your memory pulls me in,
let me stay here in this moment, where the dark is soft and thin.

[Post-Chorus: wordless vocal hook, airy “ah / ooh” choir, heavy reverb, no extra lyrics]
(ah-ah, ooh-ooh, ah-ah, ooh-ooh...)

[Verse 2: lead vocal + one low harmony, slightly more groove, subtle world percussion]
Foreign words on glowing signs, I mouth them just to hear the sound,
tiny spells in other languages that keep my feet above the ground.
On the bridge the river mirrors all the satellites and wires,
I am walking on a tightrope between danger and desire.

[Pre-Chorus 2: add high harmony, snare slightly brighter]
Streetlights flicker like a heartbeat out of time,
I move in slow motion, but your pulse is under mine.

[Chorus 2: fuller choir, extra ad-libs, more reverb tail]
I don’t want to go home lonely through the sleeping avenues,
running with the wolves inside me just to feel a trace of you.
Every shadow turns to colour when your memory pulls me in,
let me stay here in this moment, where the dark is soft and thin.

[Bridge: stripped down, only pads, sub bass and vocals, brighter tone, almost spoken]
Take me to the rooftop where the city starts to glow,
let the sirens turn to choirs in a language we don’t know.
If the morning has to find me, let it find me on this line,
halfway between heartbreak, halfway to divine.

[Final Chorus: biggest section, full drums, thick harmonies, higher ad-libs]
I don’t want to go home lonely through the sleeping avenues,
running with the wolves inside me just to feel a trace of you.
Every echo says you’re fading, but my body disagrees,
so I’m dancing with your phantom in electric memories.

[Outro: vocal chops, distant choir, delay and reverb tails, instruments slowly mute]
(ah-ah, ooh-ooh... fading into night...)
