Everything is in three. This is a state of mind. Zen like. Three notes repeating upwards. No chords. The highest note implies tonic at the beginning. However, the verse is rhythmically phrased four beats over three beats, so depending on when we land creates the tonic of the part.
The vocal in the verse lingers on 9. Nine is it. I’m talking the vocal and letting it trail off from nine to tonic. The lyric is asking about the audience and me. Breaking the forth wall. Declaring a disconnect then claiming victory in the chorus.
Nothing changes harmonically. The only thing that happens is a slight speeding up of the tempo. I tried to keep it the same. You would never know until you replay the song, but this is the analog world. Fade to hiss.
