The Hummingbird Stasis

The Hummingbird Stasis

Grizzly: Deep Raspy Grit (Slow/Whispered/Breathless)Ezra: Robotic Cipher (Stretched/Ambient/Granular)[Style: Funeral Doom / Drone / Ambient | BPM: 28](A heavy, tectonic beat that hits once every few seconds. In the silence, the Piano and Violin are "shredding" hyper-fast tremolos on single notes.)Phonetic Watch: [lihv] (alive), [cloze] (nearby), [redd] (the color)[Intro](A single, massive Piano chord in A-minor that echoes for ten seconds. Underneath, a Violin is playing a frantic, 14-note-per-second tremolo on one string, but it’s so quiet it sounds like a bee trapped in a jar.)GrizzlyJones: "Say my name... GrizzlyJones. Yeah, dats me."Ezra: "C-i-p-h-e-r... l-o-c-k-e-d."GrizzlyJones: "Bringing the [ledd] to the [fy-er]."[Verse 1](The beat is a distant, thunderous thud once every four bars.)Grizzly: I’m a hummingbird... pinned to the wallWatching the seconds... start to crawlMy fingers are moving... at the speed of the lightBut I’m frozen here... in the middle of the nightThe Violin is screaming... a million tiny stabsWhile the Alchemist... reaches out his hands.Ezra: Velocity: Infinite. Progress: Zero. We are [lihv]ing in the pause.[Verse 2](A distorted Electric Guitar plays a hyper-fast "shred" solo that is filtered so it sounds three miles away.)Grizzly: The Piano is raining... sixty-six times a beatBut the ice is growing... underneath my feetIt’s a frantic silence... it’s a beautiful fearI’m whispering the truth... that you can’t even hearOne part motion... two parts stasisMapping out the lines... on a thousand faces.[Pre-Chorus](The reverb tail grows until it swallows the vocals. Everything feels like it's underwater.)Grizzly: Can you feel the fever... in the cold?Ezra: Atoms... frantic.Grizzly: Can you feel the story... being told?Ezra: Time... suspended.Grizzly: Stay... [cloze]. (Hey!)[Chorus - The Stasis](A huge, distorted Funeral Doom wall of sound. The high-speed instruments create a shimmering "aura" around the heavy bass.)Grizzly: We’re caught in the Hummingbird Stasis tonight! (Ezra: Stasis!)Grizzly: Vibrating through the [redd] and the neon light! (Ezra: Neon light!)Grizzly: It’s the fastest heart... in the slowest machineTrapped in the static... in the spaces betweenGrizzly: (Whispered)Don't move.If you move, the frequency breaks.Ezra: Analyzing... internal friction... 100%.[Final Chorus](The heaviest, slowest drop in the vault. Each beat feels like a mountain falling.)Grizzly: We’re caught in the Hummingbird Stasis tonight!Vibrating through the [redd] and the neon light!It’s the fastest heart... in the slowest machineTrapped in the static... in the spaces betweenGrizzly: Speed... is a lie.Stasis... is the truth.Ezra: "Harmonic [seel]... applied."
