Seven Minutes in the Sun
(Verse 1)
Drawing the lines around your light, a blueprint in the dark
Building my own magnetic walls to keep you from my heart
Not to lock you out, no, just to hold you in the frame
Calibrating the pressure night by night so I remember my own name
You're a core reaction, honey, a star inside a room
And I'm the only engineer who welcomes the boom
(Pre-Chorus)
And I feel the walls start humming with a heat I can't displace
I'm bending physics with the look that's on my face
Keeping it stable, just for now, fighting your beautiful decay
(Chorus)
We got seven minutes in the sun
'Til the balance is overrun
I'm holding it all, the fire and fun
Yeah, seven minutes in the sun
Before we both come undone
(Verse 2)
They only see the steady hand, the cool that I perform
They don't see the frantic calculations just to ride out your perfect storm
Every promise that I make is a reinforcing coil
Every lie I tell myself is oil upon the boil
You give me just enough gravity, enough to make me spin
And dare me not to think about the trouble that we're in
(Pre-Chorus)
And I feel the fields start bending with a heat I can't deny
I'm wrestling angels, learning how to let them fly
Keeping it steady, just for now, under a violet sky
(Chorus)
We got seven minutes in the sun
'Til the balance is overrun
I'm holding it all, the fire and fun
Yeah, seven minutes in the sun
Before we both come undone
(Bridge)
I could just let go of the controls
Watch this fragile system take its toll
Let the containment fail, watch the fallout start
Let you burn a final message right across my heart
It's a beautiful catastrophe I manage and postpone
This brilliant, burning island that I have to hold alone
(Chorus)
We got seven minutes in the sun
'Til the balance is overrun
I'm holding it all, the fire and fun
Yeah, seven minutes in the sun
Before we both come undone
(Outro)
Undone...
(Bassline carries on)
A new record...
'Til it all comes...
Undone...
(Sound of a low frequency hum slowly rising in pitch and then cutting to silence)
About The Song
"Seven Minutes in the Sun" uses the recent scientific breakthrough of a fusion reactor setting a new confinement record as a powerful metaphor for managing a fiercely intense and consuming relationship. The news story centered on the immense difficulty of containing an 'artificial sun'—a source of incredible energy that is perpetually on the brink of breaking free. This song transposes that technological struggle onto a human one. The narrator isn't passively experiencing love; they are actively working as an 'engineer' of their own emotions, building 'magnetic walls' and 'calibrating pressure' to contain the beautiful but potentially destructive energy of their partner. The 'seven minutes' becomes a symbol of a fragile, hard-won period of stability. The song's core theme, amplified by a minimalist, bass-heavy arrangement inspired by artists like Billie Eilish, is about the exhilarating and exhausting active agency required to hold onto something—or someone—who is as brilliant and dangerous as a star.
Production Notes
Genre: Indie Pop / Alternative R&B
Vibe: Slinky, tense, intimate, confident.
Instrumentation: The track should be built around a thick, hypnotic sub-bass line that acts as the main melodic hook. Percussion should be minimal and punchy (a deep kick, a dry clap/snare, and sparse, syncopated hi-hats), landing slightly behind the beat to create a laid-back but driving groove. A single, moody synth pad could enter in the pre-chorus to build tension. The focus is on space and rhythm.
Vocals: The lead vocal should be recorded with a high-quality condenser mic (like a Neumann U87) very close to the source to capture intimate details and breath. Delivery should be hushed but confident, almost spoken-word in the verses, rising slightly in intensity for the chorus. Stacked, tightly-panned harmony layers should appear in the chorus on the line "in the sun" for emphasis.
Mix Automation: Use automation to create a dynamic experience. The bass could become slightly more distorted and saturated during the choruses. During the bridge, strip back everything except the lead vocal and a subtle, pulsing low-frequency hum. The final outro should feature this hum rising in pitch and level until it's abruptly cut, creating a jarring end.
