Five Stages Of Grief

[Intro] (Zero Music presents to you Jackal and Hyde! *glitch sound effect/record scratch sound effect*) Soft lights, piano breathing slow— We move like the market at close, steady but crashing. "Love ain’t a KPI you can forecast," I whisper, (yeah… breathe…) but here we are, benchmarking heartbreak. Five stages circling like quarterly losses, and I’m still here trying to reconcile the balance sheet of us. [Verse 1] (Male & Female Duet - Sung, soft, lyrical) The night brims with what we never said, your silhouette sitting on the edge of my memory, like an old-school report I never filed. My heart still runs toward you even when logic posts a red flag memo. (“don’t go back…” but I slip anyway) Acoustic strings hum like a pulse in retreat— I swear you were real, right? Tell me I didn’t dream the warmth we built. [Chorus] (Male & Female Duet) Pulled away by the tides where no lies can be idealized, ideally the apple of my eye, didn't mean to make you cry, this is not another lie, still tryna say hi, this truth clears my eyes, you stopped wearing a disguise, we need to sit down and have a talk, something like a heart to heart [Verse 2] (Male - Rap Fusion with Finger Snaps) Finger snaps jab like accusations, and I’m pacing the floor like a CEO ready to fire somebody. love’s got a sting to it, But my blade got a bling to it: I’m gonna write down your fate like I’m Kira, no Saber, I’m closer in this story, your personal dealbreaker. I’m the Vorpal Sword and you’re the Jabberwock— your shadow falls, I swing, and the silence starts to talk. (“don’t test me…”) I’ma do you dirty like how Edward did Shoutucker— but emotionally, not physically—just colder, sharper. [Chorus] (Male & Female Duet) Pulled away by the tides where no lies can be idealized, ideally the apple of my eye, didn't mean to make you cry, this is not another lie, still tryna say hi, this truth clears my eyes, you stopped wearing a disguise, we need to sit down and have a talk, something like a heart to heart [Verse 3] (Female - Sung, vulnerable) I keep drafting proposals in my head— synergy, reconciliation, a merger of hearts. But every pitch falls flat when the grief buries my voice in old dust. (“stay with me… just work with me…”) Love shouldn’t feel like negotiating with ghosts, but I still offer every piece of leverage I’ve got— just to keep you from walking away.(i need you to stay) [Chorus] (Male & Female Duet) Pulled away by the tides where no lies can be idealized, ideally the apple of my eye, didn't mean to make you cry, this is not another lie, still tryna say hi, this truth clears my eyes, you stopped wearing a disguise, we need to sit down and have a talk, something like a heart to heart [Verse 4] (Female - Sung, slow, poetic) The piano plays low like a confession booth. We used to sparkle—now we flicker like failing fluorescent lights in an empty boardroom after midnight. My chest sinks through the floor, takes the elevator down to some basement sorrow. (“…I miss you.”) If grief is a workflow, then you were the bottleneck and the catalyst. I’m drowning in steps I can’t automate. [Bridge 1] (Male - Soft rap + Female - melodic run) Love shouldn’t audit your soul this hard, but here I am, reconciling losses line by line. You say you moved on— I say I moved nowhere. (“still here… still here…”) We float between “maybe” and “never again,” and honestly? That’s the cruelest limbo. [Verse 5] (Male & Female - Sung → Male Rap → Sung) Acoustic riffs shimmer like sunrise on a final ledger. I inhale nostalgia; exhale release. We weren’t perfect—but we were undeniable. Time to sign off, time to close the quarter, time to face the truth without a costume. Slide back into a last fast flow— clean, crisp, like clearing backlog: I’m not your villain, not your savior, but I am the one who learned the flavor of letting go without erasing what mattered. (“yeah… that’s real…”) Five stages ended where they began— in love, in loss, in something too human to brand. [Chorus] (Male & Female Duet) Pulled away by the tides where no lies can be idealized, ideally the apple of my eye, didn't mean to make you cry, this is not another lie, still tryna say hi, this truth clears my eyes, you stopped wearing a disguise, we need to sit down and have a talk, something like a heart to heart [Bridge 2] (Female - Melodic, hopeful) Closure feels like a quiet hallway at dawn, lights flickering back on, the world ready for a new quarter. I shift forward, step steady, no malice left—just memory and rain. (“I wish you well…” whispered) [Outro] Light piano dims to a hush. I stand by the shore of what we were— waves pulling the grief from my hands. Dark love fades, revenge dissolves, and the tide carries your name somewhere I can’t chase. I turn, walk forward, and breathe. (finger snap… fade to silence)
