(Intro)
(A slow, atmospheric synth pad opens up, layered with a heavy, ominous sub-bass undertone)(Vocal with heavy reverb and an echoing trail, sounding isolated and hollow)
You traced the lines...
Said I was the one...
Now it’s just cold.
Yeah.
(Verse 1)
(Trap style, staccato delivery, sparse 808s enter with crisp, tight hi-hats)
Trace the lines upon my palm, you a liar, yeah
Called me "most incredible," just to fuel the fire, yeah
Promised me a lifetime, brought a storm instead
Now you leaving—classic—all the things you said.
You a ghost now, ghost now, fade into the black
Used to be my king, now I'm throwing out the rack.
(Pre-Chorus)
(Melodic, massive rising tension. Pulsing supersaw synths begin to sidechain heavily, and a long white-noise riser starts to climb)
You made me feel like a spark in the dark
A sudden rush, I was playing the part
Now we’re just ash from a dying spark
Watching the "forever" in us… break.
(Fake-Out)
(Complete audio silence on beat 4, save for a heavy, distorted vocal whisper)
Jagged kind of pain.
(DROP)
(Heavy distorted dubstep bass growls and aggressive trap drums explode. The low-end vibrates violently with massive sub-bass slides)
Standing in the rain!
(Drop noise / Vocals chopped)
N-N-N-Nothing
Just your beautiful
(Heavy bass drop growl)
N-n-n-nothing.
You made me feel...
Just your beautiful
(Heavy bass drop growl)
N-n-n-nothing.
(Verse 2)
(Shifting into a fast rap flow over heavy, driving 808s and rapid triplet hi-hat rolls)
Hate to see me cry? Then turn around and walk away
You don’t want a girl, you just want a place to stay
If I’m the one you wanted till the coffin closes
Then why you bringing thorns when I only asked for roses?
Shh. Yeah.
(Pre-Chorus)
(Melodic, stripping away the heavy trap drums, leaving the soaring, emotional supersaw chords to carry the vocal weight)
You made me feel like a spark in the dark
A sudden rush, I was playing the part
Now we’re just ash from a dying spark
Watching the "forever" in us… break.
(Bridge)
(Slow, ethereal vocal chops float over a minimal landscape. The drums drop out, leaving a lone, cold synth arpeggio)
Words we can’t take back...
Screens are fading to black...
Heart you used to hold...
Everything's getting cold.
(Long, piercing risers activate... cinematic tom drums speed up rapidly, building the final climax)
Yeah, it’s cold!
(Final Chorus)
(Maximum energy, ultimate melodic dubstep drop. Wall-of-sound supersaws clash with violent metallic growls)
You made me feel like a spark in the dark
A sudden rush, a reason to try
But now we’re just ash from a dying spark
Watching the "forever" in us die.
It’s a jagged kind of pain
To lose the person who was my king
Now I’m standing in the rain
Just your beautiful nothing.
(Outro)
(Slowed down half-time feel, heavy bass fading out, surrounded by returning rain sound effects)
Just your beautiful nothing...(Beautiful nothing...)
Ash from a dying spark.
(The vocal echoes out into absolute silence)
