Trance of the Trance

Описание: [intro – pad swell, distant arpeggio]
Yeah…
South Jersey static in the air tonight
FM glow, dashboard light
I don’t say your name too loud
But the beat already knows it

[verse 1 – spoken-sung, low and close]
I’m not claiming stars or fate
Just a booth by the window, running late
Girl-next-door with a vinyl smile
Yeah, I noticed… took a while

Corner store reflection in your eyes
Sneakers on, but you still fly
I’m just Dan in the background hum
But the rhythm says, “here she comes”

(pre-chorus – filter slowly opening)
Every kick drum feels like timing
Every synth knows where to land
I don’t chase, I just align it
Like your laugh right on the snare… damn

[chorus – euphoric lift]
I’m caught in that trance of the trance
Where the lights lean in your favor
One step back, two beats of chance
I don’t rush it—I savor
If the night loops once again
I won’t fight the circumstance
I’m just dancing where you stand
In that trance of the trance

[post-chorus – instrumental hook]
[arpeggio answers the vocal]
[quick filter wink at 2:17]

[verse 2 – tighter cadence, playful]
You say “hey” like it’s no big deal
But the room does a subtle heel
Turn—like vinyl finding groove
I pretend I’m cool… mostly untrue

Your hoodie smells like summer rain
Boardwalk lights in a memory lane
I make jokes the kick can’t hear
But the hi-hats laugh right here

(musical easter-egg – whispered, rhythmic)
Count to four… then smile
[delay trails spell it out]

[pre-chorus – variation]
Every breakdown’s just a reason
To come back stronger than before
If timing’s just a superstition
Why’s my heart locked to the floor?

[chorus – evolved]
I’m caught in that trance of the trance
Where your shadow knows my name
Half a glance, no advance
Still I’m losing the game
If the sunrise ends the set
I’ll pretend I need a chance
Just to stay inside the dance
In that trance of the trance

[breakdown – long pad, filtered vocal]
[beat drops]
I’m not bold, I’m not slick
Just precise with the moments I pick
If you blink, you might miss
How the bassline leans in like this

(musical easter-egg – hidden in melody)
Three notes spell K-D-M
Only if you’re listening…

[build – snare roll, rising noise]
Hands up, eyes closed, counting breath
No confession, nothing said
Just a pulse we both respect
Yeah… that’s the effect

[final chorus – full lift]
I’m caught in that trance of the trance
Where the night feels handwritten
No big move, just circumstance
Every drop feels permission
If you ever hear this back
On some late-night FM scan
Know it’s more than just a track
It’s a fan… with a plan

[outro – instrumental fade]
[arp dissolves]
South Jersey dawn
Static clears
Still smiling
