We Should Leave Us In The Amber
(Verse 1)
There's a hairline fracture on your favorite cup
I’m building a case for just giving it up
But the silence is louder than the words we trade
A battlefield truce on the bed we made
I document the shift in your sidelong glance
Trying to stop this catastrophic slow dance
Before the first lie finds a place to begin
And lets the unfamiliar future in
(Pre-Chorus)
Heard about a miracle, a cryo-gas
A new-age science built to make things last
A way to just arrest the slow decay
I have the schematics drawn to save the day
(Chorus)
Oh, we should leave us in the amber
A perfect fossil of our former grace
Let’s halt the clocks, kill all the candor
And fix this smile forever on my face
Oh, we should leave us in the amber
Before the good memories turn to rust
I’m fighting hard not to remember
Anything more recent than our trust
(Verse 2)
Remember that Thursday, the rain on the glass?
You said our love was made of something that would last
I’m trying to live there, I’m holding the scene
Protecting that timeline, keeping it clean
Because I don't wanna learn how to sleep on your side
With nothing but anger left for me to hide
I won’t let the story get rewritten by the pain
Or learn to see sunshine and just think of rain
(Chorus)
Oh, we should leave us in the amber
A perfect fossil of our former grace
Let’s halt the clocks, kill all the candor
And fix this smile forever on my face
Oh, we should leave us in the amber
Before the good memories turn to rust
I’m fighting hard not to remember
Anything more recent than our trust
(Bridge)
Get the glass case ready, dial down the sun
The final procedure has already begun
I'll manage the pressure, I'll bleed out the air
If I can just keep you, I don't even care
It's not an ending, it’s indefinite hold
A story that never, ever gets old
(Chorus)
So let's just leave us in the amber!
A perfect fossil of our former grace!
We’ll halt the clocks, kill all the candor
And fix this smile forever on my face!
Oh, we should leave us in the amber!
Before the good memories turn to rust!
I’m fighting hard not to remember
Anything more recent than our trust!
(Outro)
In the amber…
Just you and I…
Leave us here… in the amber…
Perfect… state… goodbye…
About The Song
This song transforms a scientific breakthrough—the ability to pause mammalian brain activity with cryo-gas—into a powerful metaphor for relationship anxiety. It’s about the deeply human, tragic desire to freeze a loving relationship at its peak, to preserve it in a kind of emotional 'amber' before it can be eroded by time, conflict, or inevitable decay. The protagonist takes an active, almost scientific role in this preservation fantasy, “drawing the schematics” and “managing the pressure” to stop time itself. This is an application of the Active Agency Mandate, framing a feeling of helplessness as a desperate, meticulous plan for control. Musically, it channels the theatrical, declarative synth-pop of an artist like Chappell Roan, but tempers it with a melancholic, lo-fi pulse, reflecting the conflict between the grand, delusional plan and the quiet heartbreak at its core.
Production Notes
Vocals: A highly dynamic vocal performance is critical. Use a warm condenser mic like a Neumann U87 for the verses to capture intimacy. The choruses demand a more distant, powerful take, layered with two doubles panned left and right, and saturated with plate reverb. The lead vocal should feel almost like a desperate proclamation, a theatrical attempt to convince both the partner and the self. A slight, vulnerable crack on the word "trust" in the final chorus is key.
Instrumentation: The foundation is a pulsing, slightly detuned analog synth bass (like a Moog Model D). Over this, layer warm Juno-106 pads and a simple, melancholic arpeggio from a digital synth like the Arturia Pigments. The beat should be built from a LinnDrum-style kit, kept sparse in the verses and exploding into a driving four-on-the-floor in the choruses.
Arrangement & Mix: Create extreme dynamic contrast. Suck all the reverb and delay out just before each verse hits to create a sense of stark intimacy. Inversely, let the delay tails and reverb swell dramatically into the choruses. The bridge should feel claustrophobic; apply a slow-moving low-pass filter to all instruments, leaving the vocal clear and present in a muffled world. The final outro should have the synths slowly degrade with bit-crusher and saturation automation, as if the 'cryo-system' is failing.
