TWINKIDS - Jigoku Tengoku by Om Records published on 2018-03-20T17:08:15Z This song is about that person who’s deeply broken and desperate for love. The guy who’s manipulating someone to come be with him, but only when it’s most convenient. The words “Jigoku Tengoku” mean “hell or heaven” in Japanese. It’s a pretty lie he’s telling his lover, saying he’ll follow them to the depths of hell or heaven, that “this time’s different,” but those are just empty words. We went through a lot of versions of this song, changing the tempo, should it be swung or un-swung, how should we ground the chords in the verses and what should that final synth sound like? We found solace after listening to artists like Leon Vynehall, Jamie xx, and Empress Of and thinking about how to use synths to support the groove rather than just reiterate the chord progression. We spent a long time on the synth that comes out at the end, automating the envelope and adjusting timing…for us, that had to be the biggest surprise the song had to offer. Lyrics: VERSE: I’m not lying when I told you we had something to give This time’s different I will worship you like religion This ain’t the coke talking (or the) out of my mind ranting This time I won’t change my mind oh oh no I’ve left those thoughts behind oh oh no VERSE 2: Believe me It’s not that I just want you in the night Believe me Coincidence is simple when you’re high Jigoku Tengoku Wherever I follow you Babe your Amethyst loving keep me warm Sometimes I’m swallowing few white stones VERSE 3: 2AM texting and I keep you waiting I’m trying to test you to see you desperate Jigoku Tengoku Wherever I follow you Babe your Amethyst loving keep me warm Sometimes I’m swallowing few white stones VERSE 4: I’m not lying I just need you temporarily This time’s different I know I’m ill don’t run away from me lost in the deep end I’m thinking bloodstone your cold loving will be keeping me warm VERSE 5: 2AM texting and I keep you waiting I’m trying to test you to see you desperate Jigoku Tengoku Wherever I follow you Babe your Amethyst loving keep me warm Sometimes I’m swallowing few white stones HOOK: I keep making the same old mistake Genre Electronic Comment by StarsKO muy buen trabajoooo✨ 2023-06-21T03:12:55Z Comment by teme @cirquedupsycho 2023-01-14T17:27:13Z Comment by YUMIKO ♡ 2021-11-18T06:55:18Z Comment by Mai Its funny suddenly i hear my mother language again and again 2021-02-17T11:02:35Z Comment by rich cxrlton this is super dope xo 2018-06-06T06:17:26Z Comment by ⌒°(❛ᴗ❛)°⌒ <3 2018-03-28T05:12:23Z
