"Frame by Frame" is a song performed by the progressive rock band King Crimson. The song appears on the 1981 album Discipline as the second track. It is 5:09 in length. The time signature in the chorus is 7/4 and the guitar/drum rhythms can also be considered polyrhythmic to each other. At 4:21 Belew and Fripp are playing in 7/8 until one guitar plays in 13/8 starting at 4:31. The guitars line after 91 beats. This song is well-known for the very fast riff (16th notes at 155 BPM) that Robert Fripp plays at the beginning and after each chorus.
Don't do this again cause I feel this is rising
All these thoughts were lost to A cross
They horrify me
I told you to be silent. You crucify me
(Repeat And Re-Spin)
I know this is my one chance in my life so push play
I'll show you more than you'll ever know
Doctor! Doctor! Police Man!
We've got an emergency at hand.
Stitch me up. You can't heal this wound
You batter call for back-up cause your time is soon.
Frame by frame this is coming together.
Frame by frame this is rearranged.
No don't do this again cause I feel it rising.
I told you to be silent but you
You crucify me.
Do you like how it feels when I come closer now?
This is my "FUCK YOU" face
I can feel you haunting me.
The ghost of you is watching me
And I thought that this was forever
I thought that this was now
I thought that this was forever
I thought that this was you
Scratch at my calloused hands the hardship won't stop
This journey's so long. I take A breath
The damage is done

(Do You Like How We Feel?)
Frame by frame this is coming together.
Come together.
Frame by frame this is rearranged.
No don't do this again cause I feel it rising
I told you to be silent but you
