Dance In The Shadow clearer snippet

[HelloHangoverz 17,450]

I managed to find a better crowd removal model, and this is what it resulted in, pretty good if you ask me:

I think this proves the first lyrics aren't "the monster's around"...

To me, it sounds like "don't tell/set me [inaudible]." There are six syllables in total before "Dance In The Shadow", and the third syllable is definitely the word "me". 

I'm also wondering if the 5th and 6th syllable are likely to be words that rhyme with shadow, as it would fit a rhyme scheme, and it kinda sounds plausible

What do we think?

Edit: added a third file - an AI acapella of the non-centered audio (ie centered channel removed via audacity) - you can definitely hear her say "dance in the shadow of a" before it cuts off

I hear "Don't let me go."

OR

"Don't let me down."

I'm hearing something like this as well, but I feel like the last word is more than one syllable, rather than just a one syllable word sang over multiple syllables no?

It's either one word of three syllables, or it's three one-syllable words

to me sounds vaguely like "don't let it go."

i'm definitely hearing "go" at the end  "don't let the/your power go, dance in the shadow" maybe?

If you're referring to the 3rd snippet posted like 10 mins ago, I honestly think that's just pre-delay/echo vocal doubling/backing vocals.

Also, I have a feeling this snippet was mixed with utter magic & mystery so we wouldn't actually find out until release day.

It's fun to speculate though.

The bass notes seem to be, in order: F, D#, D, C# - which doesn't fit any common scale? Might be modal or D# Major (i guess? not that good w music theory) with borrowed notes?
The BPM is 118. Some songs in the same tempo are ARTPOP, Fashion!, Bad Romance, Poker Face and Just Dance.

I also kinda hear “I’m dancin’ now”

The melody is in F minor. Provided C# D# are actually Db Eb, then it fits the scale in a I - VII - VI progression, a kind of modified Andalusian cadence with a passing chord (?). Of course, they could just be non-root voicings in the bass too.

That drone bass sounds so f***ing good

I still hear “the monster’s around” 

[TimotheeChalamet 5,621]

it's just her wailing

[theARTVampire 3,674]

It's "don't turn around" for me 

[Stef666 4,604]

her ARTPOP could mean anything
