I’m turning human (pop) v2

Disco pop meets Italo disco at 116 BPM, driven by a recurring glassy water-drop synth click, treated with short gated reverb and ping-pong delay as the central hook. Add pulsing octave bass, four-on-the-floor kick, crisp claps, open hi-hats, and bright analog arpeggios; glossy string-synth chords and vocoder accents lift the chorus. Retro drum-machine snap meets polished modern pop mixing.

[Verse 1] Streets are ash, the sirens died at three, I used to bite, now I’m learning how to speak. My hands are cold, my skin is peeling gray, But she don’t run — she looks me in the eye and stays. No pulse, no past, just rot and rust and rain, And still I try to say her name without the growl again. [Pre‑Chorus] They say I’m dead, they say I’m just a curse, But her voice cuts through the static like a spark in the dark. One word, one touch — the mold begins to crack, Like something human’s waking up inside my black heart. [Chorus —As tightly as possible, drums on every eighth note, backing vocals “Hey!” on the strong beats.] I’m turning human, grain by grain, Stitch by stitch, I’m feeling pain. Not by a spell, not by a gun, Just ’cause she sees me as someone. I’m not the monster they made me be, She’s teaching me how to breathe! [Verse 2] Yesterday I’d tear the world apart for meat, Today I want to hold her hand and keep it safe and sweet. I found a rose in rubble, petals torn and thin, Tried to brush the dust away — I wanted to give it in. The horde is howling, teeth are clicking in the hall, But I stand still — I hear her heartbeat over it all. [Pre‑Chorus] They call it madness, call it poison in the blood, But every time she smiles, the rot inside turns soft. It hurts to feel, it hurts to care, it hurts to hope, But it hurts more to see her scared — I’d break the world to stop it. [Chorus] I’m turning human, grain by grain, Stitch by stitch, I’m feeling pain. Not by a spell, not by a gun, Just ’cause she sees me as someone. I’m not the monster they made me be, She’s teaching me how to breathe! [Bridge — Suddenly quieter, just the bass and the dry snap of the snare drum, the vocals almost in a recitative style. ] Tick. Tock. The horde is at the door. Tick. Tock. I’ve never felt so raw before. If they come for her, I’ll stand between the teeth and claw, Even if I fall apart — I’ll hold the line, I swear I will. [Guitar solo] [Verse 3] The moon is cold, the wind is full of screams, But when she whispers, “Stay with me,” the nightmare fades in beams. I feel a pulse, a faint and shaky beat, Like a tiny flame that dares to fight the endless dark and deep. Her fingers lace with mine — they’re warm, they’re real, they’re right, And for the first time in forever, I don’t want to bite. [Chorus — At maximum, the backing vocals repeat every second line. ] I’m turning human, grain by grain! Stitch by stitch, I’m feeling pain! Not by a spell, not by a gun! Just ’cause she sees me as someone! I’m not the monster they made me be! She’s teaching me how to breathe! [Outro — 4 harsh chords, a final shout, and a sharp stop‑time] Grain by grain… Spark by spark… I’m learning how to live.
