Lyrics
2072 THE WINNOWING
(High-octane trap-EDM at 150 BPM every false drop ratchets closer to 172 bpm Minimal tech, continuous tension build loop to hard electro drum pattern, drop the Hi-Tech shift)
(glitchy synth arps and metallic plucks in the verses, sub-heavy drops and stuttering vocal chops in the chorus. Kick and snare slam in a half-time feel under bright rave leads; pre-drop risers and distorted impacts heighten the “tightening" tension. Occasional robotic vocoder doubles key lines, with wide stereo delays to make the hook huge and addictive., electro, edm)
[INTRO]
You can go deep
If you're willing
[PRE]
Anything we deny
Or repress
Becomes our shadow
[HOOK]
The undertow
What we bury
Starts to grow
[Verse 1 - the drums begin to become rhythmic]
The winnowing
The shadow knows
What we carry
What we show
The winnowing
[TURN]
[tension build loop to hard electro drum pattern]
[VERSE 2]
Things have been working out
Much better now
I would have thanked you
For asking
No home
Only memories to hold
[PRE 2]
[HOOK]
Things turn out
For the worse
With many right now
Upbringing taught awareness
Of influence
And presence
[BRIDGE]
Accountable
For more
Than one can know
Isolation worked
[tension build loop to hard electro 909 drum pattern, never going to end]
The winnowing
The shadow knows
What we carry
What we show
The winnowing
[Next HOOK drums becoming hypnotic]
The winnowing
The shadow knows
What we carry
What we show
The winnowing
The undertow
What we bury
Starts to grow
[VERSE 2 - colder, more direct]
It's about an individual
Achieving
Where are all
The individuals?
If you tell someone
A truth
They'll think
You're lying
There is evil
Same as virtue
Yet human emotions
Are more powerful
Than the mind
[PRE-HOOK - female backing vocal echoes last words]
Transcendent emotion
Transcendent emotion
[909s hit till breaking point turns to waves of glitch vocals]
The winnowing
The shadow knows
What we carry
What we show
The winnowing
The undertow
What we bury
Starts to grow
[PRE Vocal change up unresolved, designed for extension]
Sudden rise into
A red sun
Something underneath
Still moving
The winnowing
Has only just begun
[TURN]
[ACT 2 -continuation. Same groove, more hypnotic. Keep drums restrained. Male lead spoken rhythm, female ghost backing.]
[VERSE 3 - spoken like decoding a page]
Sudden rise into
In sudden rise to
Red sun sedition
Druid noise nest
Edit sound resin
Did note sunrise
Odd sneer in suit
Its odd inner use
Eden dirt is on us
Unsorted inside
Insure in oddest
One-sided it runs
[BREAK - voice gets closer]
Sour is intended
It derides nouns
Underside to sin
Resounds in edit
Its needs I round
Sun riots denied
I undo residents
[HOOK VARIATION - mantra]
The winnowing
The words rearrange
Same old letters
Different cage
The winnowing
The shape remains
Same old weather
Different rain
[BRIDGE - drums drop out, only pad and hiss]
The winnowing
The shadow knows
What we carry
What we show
The winnowing
The undertow
What we bury
Starts to grow
The winnowing
[BRIDGE - drums drop out, only pad and hiss]
It's a story about
A man
Who gives up
On his dreams
And decides
To work
Work
Till death
Instead
[HOOK - quiet but heavy]
The winnowing
The shadow knows
What we carry
What we show
The winnowing
The undertow
What we bury
Starts to grow
[909s hit till breaking point turns to waves of glitch vocals]
Work till death
Instead
Work till death
Instead
But something underneath
Still knows
[RE-ENTRY - no drums, close vocal]
If you're predisposed to it
It can drip
Right to your brain
But they were looking
For an epidemic
For most
It's a mild flu
[VERSE 4 - drums return]
Many were terminal
It may be an injury
Maybe low enzyme levels
Cell damage
Takes time
It's in the brain
All testing
Turns out normal
[HOOK
Signal - Noise
Ratio - Wave
[TURN]
[tension build loop to hard electro 303 acid pattern]
[BREAK - one bar silence]
All testing
Turns out normal
[FINAL HOOK - stripped down]
The winnowing
The shadow knows
What we carry
What we show
The winnowing
The undertow
What we bury
Starts to grow
[BRIDGE - callback, female backing vocal underneath]
Everyone visits the bottom
At some time
Anything denied
Becomes the shadow
No home
Only memories to hold
Isolation worked
Til now
[FINAL HOOK - more open, slow lift]
The winnowing
The shadow knows
What we carry
What we show
The winnowing
The undertow
What we bury
Starts to grow
[OUTRO - beat dissolves, only voices remain]
You can go deep
If you're willing
To go out
On a limb
Human emotions
Are more powerful
Than the mind
[FINAL SPOKEN WORDS - clear power]
The Winnowing
[end song with dj friendly 48 bar fade out]
(Spoken over last bars)
The shadow knows.
[continue the beat, not break in rythm]
You can go deep
If you're willing
To go out on a limb
Everyone visits the bottom
At some time
Anything we deny
Or repress
Becomes our shadow
[VERSE 1 - beat enters low and restrained]
Things have been working out
Much better now
I would have thanked you
For asking
No home
Only memories to hold
Things turn out
For the worse
With many right now
Upbringing taught awareness
Of influence
And presence
[BREAK - drums thin out, bass remains]
Accountable
For more
Than one can know
Isolation worked
Til now
[HOOK - half-sung, hypnotic]
The winnowing
The shadow knows
What we carry
What we show
The winnowing
The undertow
What we bury
Starts to grow
[VERSE 2 - colder, more direct]
It's about an individual
Achieving
Where are all
The individuals?
If you tell someone
A truth
They'll think
You're lying
There is evil
Same as virtue
Yet human emotions
Are more powerful
Than the mind
[PRE-HOOK - female backing vocal echoes last words]
Transcendent emotion
Transcendent emotion
Any tool
Can be used
For many purposes
[HOOK - fuller but still minimal]
The winnowing
The shadow knows
What we carry
What we show
The winnowing
The undertow
What we bury
Starts to grow
[OUTRO - unresolved, designed for extension]
Sudden rise into
A red sun
Something underneath
Still moving
The winnowing
Has only just begun
[VERSE 3 - spoken like decoding a page]
Sudden rise into
In sudden rise to

It's a story about
A man
Who gives up
On his dreams
And became him
Instead
[HOOK - quiet but heavy]
