      the vocals are also very simple, most of them are just the same notes, for example, in this entire part: Breathing in the dark
      Lying on it's side
      The ruins of the day
      Painted with a scar
      And the more I straighten out
      The less it wants to try
      The feelings start to rot
      One wink at a time
      there is only one note in this entire part. More notes are sung in the riff but overall the vocals are even more simplistic than the back track. Its almost minimalist

      It is even more visible when some artists take inspiration from video games music, Japanese music and others stuff which gives a different result

    Oh oh
    Forgiving who you are
    For what you stand to gain
    Just know that if you hide
    It doesn't go away
    When you get out of bed
    Don't end up stranded
    Horrified with each stone
    On the stage
    My little dark age
    Picking through the cards
    Knowing what's nearby
    The carvings on the face
    Say they find it hard
    And the engine's failed again
    All limits of disguise
    The humor's not the same
    Coming from denial
    Oh oh
    I grieve in stereo
    The stereo sounds strange
    I know that if you hide
    It doesn't go away
    If you get out of bed
    And find me standing all alone
    Open-eyed
    Burn the page

    I grieve in stereo
    The stereo sounds strange
    You know that if it hides
    It doesn't go away
    If I get out of bed
    You'll see me standing all alone
    Horrified on the stage
    My little dark age
    Giddy with delight
    Seeing what's to come
    The image of the dead
    Dead ends in my mind
    Policemen swear to God
    Love's seeping from the guns
    I know my friends and I
    Would probably turn and run
    If you get out of bed
    Come find us heading for the bridge
    Bring a stone
    All the rage
    My little dark age
    I grieve in stereo
    The stereo sounds strange
    I know that if you hide
    It doesn't go away
