Blood in the Bassline

# **BLOOD IN THE BASSLINE** **[Intro]** *(No vocals)* **[Lyric Prompt: Bass opens completely alone with an aggressive slap groove full of pops, ghost notes, hammer-ons, and syncopation. Drums join with a tight funk groove before low-tuned guitars crash in, following the bass instead of leading.]** --- **[Verse 1]** You drew a line— I crossed it clean. You built a cage— I split the seams. Every step Was loud enough To shake the floor Beneath your trust. You watched me fall... I learned the drop. You prayed I'd quit... I couldn't stop. --- **[Pre-Chorus]** Strike the wire. Feel it sting. Turn the silence Into strings. --- **[Chorus]** Blood in the bassline— Feel it in your bones. Every note Breaks another stone. Blood in the bassline— Heartbeat out of time. If the ground won't move... We'll make it move tonight! --- **[Lyric Prompt: Bass remains front and center. Guitars become rhythmic accents while the bass carries the groove with constant slap, pops, double-thumbing, and melodic fills.]** --- **[Verse 2]** Kick the door. Break the lock. Turn the pulse Into shock. I don't march To borrowed drums. I build my own... Here they come. Every hit Lights another fuse. Nothing left For us to lose. --- **[Bridge]** No surrender. No retreat. Just the rhythm... Underneath. --- **[Bass Feature]** **[Lyric Prompt: Entire band drops out except slap bass and kick drum. Extended showcase featuring slap, popping, double-thumbing, tapping, harmonics, muted ghost-note grooves, and melodic fills. Drums gradually build before guitars explode back in with massive syncopated riffs built around the bass groove.]** --- **[Breakdown]** Move! Move! Move! Every heartbeat... Hits like thunder! *(Half-time groove while the slap bass never stops driving the riff.)* --- **[Final Chorus]** Blood in the bassline— Burning through the night. Every pulse Pulls us back to life. Blood in the bassline— Nothing left to hide. Turn it up... Let the low end Lead the fight! --- **[Outro]** **[Lyric Prompt: Bass finishes the song completely alone, ending on one final massive slapped harmonic.]**
