I'm thinking making a song out of this lyric... but I don't know where it's gonna go... but it's still gonna be about Paranoia. And I think it'll sound trashy.
Paranoia
Do you feel someone behind you?
Or are there eyes all around you?
That itching feeling at the back of your neck
There's a battle raging for control
Paranoia
Give me some more
Paranoia
Look out, behind you!
Do you have the feeling that everyone's an actor?
And your life just a giant play?
They're talking behind your back
Is it just a rehearsal today?
Paranoia
Give me some more wonderful
Paranoia
Watch your back!
Dress up like a normal
They're always watching you
Don't forget the roots
Paranoia's all around you
Do you ever the sounds inside your hand?
Is it them talking or another danger lurking?
It can happen anywhere
There's no place to hide from the powers watching
Set up a drum machine with deep beats like heartbeats at the beginning, put some vinyl scratching (not the scratch type but sort of crackling over it quietly) and then play some reversed and reverbed guitar in places, over some weird spooky synths and one deep piano note to end it out.
Guarantee you something like that will sound awesome.
And some echo-ing claps over hard beats would work wonderfully too, especially if you do some reverb yet again. Then some drum fills like Miami where it goes in backwards each time.
Do you like Bon Iver, guys? Everyone raves about them and they're coming to Madrid in late October, just a week after Muse. I wonder if I can push myself to listen to something besides their famous Skinny Love.
