Operator, Operator / Yi Xi (SynthV Original)

--- rai: "MAKE SURE YALL GIVE LOVE TO ELISIO!! they've been such a great friend and collaborator; genuinely one of the most talented producers I've gotten to work with. I came to them with the original piano riff and composition from a project that I hadn't touched since May of last year, but they completely flipped the instrumental and crafted such a cool bridge; I just added vocals on top. PLEASE make sure to give credit where it's due; Elisio is a far more skilled musician than me and their production/mixing skills really elevated the song. This is obviously very different from my usual rock tracks, but I wanted to lean into a pop/EDM style to play into Elisio’s strong suits. I'm still really proud of this one in all aspects; rest assured though, more edgy punk rock is coming soon" Elisio: "Me: Oh... its 6am again. Rai: Dude... go to sleep! (Later that day, but timezone difference) Rai: Oh... It's 6am again. Me: Dude... go to sleep!" --- Instrumental/SVP: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Mbw54aLEAnGNxlqLjnI7EpNPUCvXCwhR?usp=sharing --- STREAMING Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/2pKhjehC91u5g1dX8TFet6?si=gXXbp7taRlegmK88Rv7_-g Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/operator-operator-feat-elisio-single/6773583653 SoundCloud: https://on.soundcloud.com/07Uou15TTSzlvD6tKC BandCamp: https://rai1367.bandcamp.com/track/operator-operator --- SONG CREDITS: ‪@raiOfficialgg composition, vocal arrange, lyrics, illust https://x.com/rai1367_ @elisioMusicOC composition, arrangement, mix/master https://on.soundcloud.com/XAVRWoq46nMGOsjHm5 --- LYRICS: hey, the sinner has something to say you laugh as I dance in the palm of your hand you wanna get the best of me to fester me you're pouring that salt in the wound just to pester me it's all a game and I want you to know that Helpless, but your heart won't take my love for what it is 'Cause I ain't got nothin' in the world to lose you know things to bad when the beggars choose You got me fallin' apart It's got me carving a hole in my heart girl, you'd make me wake with a start, yeah so tell me, are you 'fraid of the dark? don't pull your punches, leave me black and blue look alive baby, show your scars I wanna hear you say I love you too turn around, tell me who you are get the incinerator it's an emergency we're face to face with quite the frightening lack of urgency we stitch and sew the sacred lives you hold go toe to toe let's give these kids a show and live a life you'll never know go ahead, take a shot degrade me babe, I'm just the way that the doctor made me I ain't got nothin in the world to lose you know things go bad when the beggars choose is anybody ever coming to save me? baby take a hit, double down, deface me hear the gunshots ringing out across the room another bullet in the head for the likes of you you got me fallin' apart it's got me carving a hole in my heart oh, tell me before you depart, yeah tell me, are you 'fraid of the dark? don't pull your punches, leave me black and blue live a lie baby, hide your scars I wanna hear you say I love you too turn around, tell me who you are da-ya da da da da ha, ha da-ya da da da da ha-ya da da, da-ya da da da da ha, ha da-ya da da da da ha-ya da da, there's something deep in the depths of my psyche that tells me you might not be so bad so god help me my tear ducts are empty but there's yet a tragedy to be had don't pull your punches, leave me black and blue look alive baby, show your scars I wanna hear you say I love you too turn around, tell me who you are da-ya da da da da ha, ha da-ya da da da da ha-ya da da, da-ya da da da da ha, ha da-ya da da da da ha-ya da da,
