„Paper-Wrapped Scissors“ builds a bridge from progressive rock to the clubs and dance floors. The title is inspired by the classic game of „rock paper scissors“: While rock is not mentioned explicitly in the title, a rock music influence is undeniably in the track. Wrapping the scissors in paper symbolizes a change of rules as the track breaks with the traditions of both electronic and rock music.
Rooted in different parts of the musical spectrum, „Paper-Wrapped Scissors“ could be seen as a dreamy and danceable midtempo track. With a steady 114 BPM beat, the track can work well in a DJ set or also stand on its own. An increasingly intense bass guitar drives the track forward as it builds up through a whirlwind of percussion, leading to a peak of twisted electric guitar sounds and ethereal vocals.
