how do you get out of it ( i tried imagining what would happen after that part but all i can imagine is a loop )
all the information is relevant. For example: you say you tend to hear it as a loop. Ok, so, ..... is that good or bad? Is there any reason why you feel it should not be a loop? Do you not like the way it feels as a loop? Many great songs indeed are viable as a loop. So i'd say, be open to the possibility of a loop (unless you hate it.) Actually i should be more specific.... when you say loop, are you saying absolutely everything repeats? or are you saying like just the chords and certain things loop? Many songs have a loop but they still use different melodies for cho and verse, or something. On the other hand, there's probably other songs that actually just about use the same melody for both...... anyway, my point is, all the information you can gather from your impressions after the run through is valid, and should be considered. So in this case, your impression is that it seems to loop. Consider the possibility of making it loop. If not the whole thing exactly, then consider the possibility of keeping the same form / chords and then just raising or lowering the energy. in most loop based songs, the raise and lower of energy is the bread and butter that takes you from verse to chorus to verse
