Example lyric structure

Structure

[Intro]
(Synth pad swell)

[Verse 1]
(Driving bassline enters)
Neon lights reflect on wet pavement
Driving fast through the city tonight
Memories of you keep fading
Lost in the digital light

[Chorus]
(Explosive snare)
We are running out of time
Chasing shadows in the dark
Leaving everything behind
Just a beat within my heart

[Verse 2]
Analog dreams in a digital world
Static noise is all I hear
The future is starting to unfurl
But the past is always near

[Chorus]
We are running out of time
Chasing shadows in the dark
Leaving everything behind
Just a beat within my heart

[Outro]
(Fade out with arpeggiator)
Running...
Running...
