Fading Into Silence

rap, Slow, spacious hip-hop at 78 BPM: close-mic male vocals, dusty swung drums, soft felted piano chords, distant ambient pads, and a weighty sub bass. Verses stay sparse and intimate, almost whispered in the pocket; hook blooms into a melodic, aching topline with stacked harmonies and a hint of autotune warble. Subtle ear-candy (reversed piano tails, filtered delays) drifts in the background as the track gradually strips down on the final hook, ending on a lone piano figure and dry vocal., sad, theme, slow, ambient, deep, soft, hip-hop, emotional

[Verse 1]
We used to talk ’til the sunrise
Now it’s blue ticks
Blank screen
Just a dull shine
You in the room
But your eyes feel far
Like you moved out
And left your body in my arms
You say you’re “fine”
But your voice got cracks
Whole vibe changed
You don’t laugh like that
I hear “I’m tired”
You mean “I’m done”
I try to hold you
You just go numb

[Chorus]
I feel our love fading into silence
Every word we don’t say
Cut like violence
You’re right here
But your heart’s on an island
Drifting out of reach
Drifting out of reach
We used to pour truth
Now it’s quiet
All of this distance
Wrapped in kindness
Smiling through the ache
Like it’s timeless
Till we barely speak
Till we barely speak

[Verse 2]
You used to vent on my shoulder
Now it’s locked doors
Phone flipped over
You move slow
Like you’re scared I’ll ask
“What’s on your mind?”
You just change the track
We still kiss
But it feel like habit
Hands on your waist
But there’s nothing behind it
I play old pics
Just to feel something
Scroll our history
Like a ghost I’m hunting
You wear my hoodie
But it hangs different
Same soft fabric
But the warmth went missing
I say “I love you”
You say it too fast
Like a learned line
At the end of class

[Chorus]
I feel our love fading into silence
Every word we don’t say
Cut like violence
You’re right here
But your heart’s on an island
Drifting out of reach
Drifting out of reach
We used to pour truth
Now it’s quiet
All of this distance
Wrapped in kindness
Smiling through the ache
Like it’s timeless
Till we barely speak
Till we barely speak

[Bridge]
Remember?
All-night calls
We had nothing
Still we gave it all
Now we got things
But we lost that pulse
Two strangers
Sharing one pulse
I’d rather scream
Than drown in this hush (yeah)
Say that you’re scared
Or say that it’s us
Say that you’re leaving
Or say that you’ll stay
Just don’t let love die
In the things we don’t say

[Chorus]
I feel our love fading into silence
Every word we don’t say
Cut like violence
You’re right here
But your heart’s on an island
Drifting out of reach
Drifting out of reach
We used to pour truth
Now it’s quiet
All of this distance
Wrapped in kindness
Smiling through the ache
Like it’s timeless
Till we barely speak
Till we barely speak
