The intro covers a total of 4 iterations of the guitar motive.		The piece opens with a short drum solo followed by the base layer of Part A: a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncopation syncopated] D-minor [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentatonic_scale pentatonic] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostinato ostinato] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motif_(music) motive]: A-C-D, F-G, C-D-F-G on the low end of a distorted electric guitar, accompanied by drum set and varied background synth. The second layer, entering on the third iteration of the guitar motive, is an on-the-beat percussive high-register piano in quarters on an open 5-1-5 (A-D-A). The intro covers a total of 4 iterations of the guitar motive.

	Part A proper (as reiterated after Part B) begins with the entrance of the final layer, a synth melody that follows the D [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorian_mode Dorian] scale: A-C-B♮-A-G-E-F-E-D, A-C-D-B♮-A. This complete statement of the melody covers four full iterations of the guitar motive. Both the antecedent and consequent phrases of the melodic statement end with a downward slide. The second statement of the melody is the same as the first, except its consequent phrase ends on C instead of A, and with an upward slide. Part A covers a total of 8 iterations of the guitar motive of the base layer.		Part A proper (as reiterated after Part B) begins with the entrance of the final layer, a synth melody that follows the D [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorian_mode Dorian] scale (with B♮ instead of the B♭ native to the key of D Minor): A-C-B-A-G-E-F-E-D, A-C-D-B-A. This complete statement of the melody covers four full iterations of the guitar motive. Both the antecedent and consequent phrases of the melodic statement end with a downward slide. The second statement of the melody is the same as the first, except its consequent phrase ends on C instead of A, and with an upward slide. Part A covers a total of 8 iterations of the guitar motive of the base layer.

	In Part B, the guitar takes the melody and the synth retreats to accompaniment. The tonality shifts from the static D Dorian of Part A to an E-flat Major chord acting as IV in B-flat Major. A fast electric bassline in straight eighth notes accompanies the chord progression without inversion, and the melody continues with a clear tone in the higher range of the guitar, following the same rhythmic pattern as Part A's melody with a similar melodic shape—G-B♭-A-G-F-D-E♭-D-C, G-B♭-C-A-G—this time over a IV-V-I-<sup>-</sup>VI, IV-V-II progression (E♭-F-B♭-A♭, E♭-F-C). The F-B♭ (V-I) movement, while authentic, does not function as a cadence; the tonic chord is brief and the final resting point of that phrase is decidedly the borrowed A-flat major chord, which lasts nearly two full measures.
