[OUT THE BOX]
[Track 6 – FEARS Album
Theme: Fear of containment]
---
[Intro – muffled FX, inside-a-box ambiance]
[FX: Tape ripping, faint breathing, distant pounding, box creaks, eerie silence]
[Whispered, building fury]
Can’t... shelve... greatness...
Can’t... box... greatness...
YOU JUST CRACKED PANDORA’S BOX!
---
[Verse 1 – glitchy, claustrophobic rap, walls closing in]
W-w-walls closin’ in, can’t b-b-breathe,
Tight like tape, no room to grieve
H-head poundin’, v-v-voice won’t speak—
Box got bars and I'm the beast they caged
S-s-scratch that wood, b-blood in lines
L-l-lights go blink—can’t read the signs
Static in my skull, n-nerves on fire—
This box? Nah, it’s my funeral pyre.
---
[Pre-chorus – sub-bass pulse, glitch loop stutters]
[FX: countdown ambient]
Ooooooh... three...
Ooooooh... two...
Ooooooh... one...
I’m about to go off.
I’m about to go off.
(i’m about to go—)
boom!
---
[Chorus – distorted 808s, brass stabs, rage anthem energy]
Broke out the box — cracked the lid on hell!
(hell yeah!)
Out the box — unleashed what I can’t un-tell!
(nothin’ left!)
Out the box — raw wrath, no remorse!
(pop off!)
Out the box — playtime’s over, I’m about to kick off!
Can’t... shelve... greatness...
Can’t... box... greatness...
YOU JUST CRACKED PANDORA’S BOX!
---
[Verse 2 – rebellious, energy, aggressive flow]
You can’t wind me up — I’m no music box ballerina
Won’t dance to your tune, I fight in the arena (smash ‘em!)
I shatter records — I shatter egos
Won’t box up my rage (off he goes!)
Wind me up again — I’m a few screws loose
I’m a ticking time bomb so... (screw you!)
---
[Pre-chorus – repeat]
Ooooooh... three...
Ooooooh... two...
Ooooooh... one...
I’m about to go off.
I’m about to go off.
(i’m about to go—)
boom!
---
[Chorus – repeat]
Broke out the box — cracked the lid on hell!
(hell yeah!)
Out the box — unleashed what I can’t un-tell!
(nothin’ left!)
Out the box — raw wrath, no remorse!
(pop off!)
Out the box — playtime’s over, I’m about to kick off!
Can’t... shelve... greatness...
Can’t... box... greatness...
YOU JUST CRACKED PANDORA’S BOX!
---
[Bridge – siren FX, rapid build, ticking clock loop] [FX: alarms, rising tempo, distorted vocal stack, bass]
Pack it up, back it up — this box ain’t safe!
Label me fragile? i’m a bomb — not stuffed!
Red lights flashin’ — countdown: one!
Try to seal me? i’m already gone!
You had your chance — to shut me up!
Too late now — i’m blowin’ up! (ahhhh!)
---
[Final chorus]
Broke out the box — cracked the lid on hell!
(hell yeah!)
Out the box — unleashed what I can’t un-tell!
(nothin’ left!)
Out the box — raw wrath, no remorse!
(pop off!)
Out the box — playtime’s over, I’m about to kick off!
Can’t... shelve... greatness...
Can’t... box... greatness...
I CRACKED IT — I’M OUT
[Outro – whispered, low echo]
Out the box like I’m out the closet —
I’m free, and you’re gettin’ the casket.
[End]
