[Grungy Sound Elements:
Guitars:
• Dirty, distorted power chords.
• A slow, haunting drop D tuning riff with a melodic dissonance
• Add occasional feedback or string bends for tension.
Bass:
• Deep, muddy, driving the mood. Play a heavy groove underneath the riff like Alice in Chains’ “Rooster.”
Drums:
• Loose snare. Simple, syncopated patterns, but powerful.
• Occasional tom-driven fills for a tribal feel.
Vocals:
• Raspy, emotionally raw. Mix of quiet verses and loud, anguished choruses.
• Imagine laying your soul bare while staring down someone who betrayed you.
Lyrics – “Your Nature (Scorpion & Frog)”]
[Intro – Sparse Guitar Riff + Bass Enters]
(Slow. Murky. Reverb-heavy.)
You said you’d never hurt me…
But it’s who you are… isn’t it?
[Verse 1 – Clean guitar, whispered vocals]
Carried you across the flood,
Your silence felt like trust.
But even killers wear a mask,
When they need a little love.
[Pre-Chorus – Dirty guitar starts creeping in]
I saw the warning,
Still pulled you in…
Should’ve known better —
You never pretend…
[Chorus – Loud, distorted, anguished voice]
You’re the sting in the spine,
That smile with the blade.
You said it’s not your fault,
But you never change.
And now I’m drowning —
In what I thought was faith…
It’s just your nature.
It’s just your nature…
[Verse 2 – Vocals louder, fuzz guitar pulsing]
Held your secrets, wore your chains,
Thought I could heal the pain.
But you were born to bite —
You just needed the rain.
[Bridge – Drop to clean, eerie guitar]
I wanted to believe you…
God, I needed to believe you.
But I was just your way across —
And I sank with the cost.
[Final Chorus – Exploding into distortion]
You’re the sting in the spine,
That promise wrapped in shame.
You said it’s just survival —
But you burned me all the same.
You can’t blame the poison
When you never meant to change…
It’s just your nature.
It’s just… your f***ing nature…
