This song is composed of roughly 5 8-bar sections, all played over the same chord progression.

The first 8 bars introduce this synth sounding riff. There are no bass and drums besides this ticking in the background. There is also this symbol hissing buildup (don't know if that's the proper term)

The next 8 bars introduce a guitar riff. The riff is in 4/4, but the notes repeat in groups of 3 to create an offset feeling. Drums and bass are added in.

The next 8 bars introduce a different riff, which alternates between strummed chords and a picked melody.

The next 8 bars are a kind of breakdown. The guitar riff is built mostly around chords, and the drum beat changes to play more in unison with the strums of the guitar, rather than playing a constant rhythm.

The next 8 bars use the same riff from the first section, only now played with drums and bass.
