@aaherabyte on Instagram: "Monument: Song Breakdown The Concept The first song on the album Monument is the song "Monument." It was one of the first songs I wrote. I remember staring at the Word document and thinking, "Can I do this?" It was also challenging to think of the rhythm that would go with the song. My first choice was Drum and Bass, but I also planned to move to Deep House if the text wasn't fast enough—nostalgic feeling, deep bass, and a 4/4 kick. The Narrative Arc After the opening line, "What is waiting at the end?", the whole direction moved into the past—trying to move from the past toward capturing memories and placing them on the document. The Pre-Chorus Then, before the chorus, like a verdict: "What is left of us still remains, Your sweatshirt, perfume, like invisible chains." This is probably the feeling that stuck to everyone: chains that pull toward the past and keep reminding you of what was. I thought about evoking the idea of what could be with another four lines, but Suno AI had a real issue keeping the rhythm and the song was becoming too big. So, I just moved into the chorus. The Chorus The idea was to find words that rhyme but also capture the feeling of that teenage love. Promise = lie, forever = goodbye. It sounded nice, and the rest just came after. "Promise turned into a lie What a way to say goodbye. What is there after all? Monument of a buried love." The Bridge/Second Part The second part of the song is more explanatory. "It's sad how forever turned into never, and how love breathes no more, all that is left is nevermore." The Poe Connection Here the "epic" nevermore came to life. It's a nod to Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven: "And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor / Shall be lifted—nevermore!" It's like questioning if love will ever be possible again. I liked this song after all; it is one of my favorites. I hope somebody else out there will like it. Till next time, see ya."
