A lot of this is just test-and-mess-around stuff, so feel free to change anything you want in it: [Intro] \ [sparse] [piano only] [reversed toy-piano hits] [eerie] \ *(Vocals enter distant, half-formed — barely there)* ^-^-<>^-^-<>^-^ \ [bass creeping in] [sub implosions building] \ ---^--<--**^^>>--<-->---^-- [Build] \ [wobble tightening] [sax enters] [breathy, smoky] \ *(Vocals float higher, pitch-shifting upward)* ^-^-<>^-^-<>^-^-<>^-^-<>^-^ \ [tension rising] [layers stacking] \ ^^^--^^--<->--^--<->----<-- [Drop] \ [full riddim hits] [wobble growls] [bass punches through] \ *(Vocals fracture — micro-chopped, pitch darting up and down)* ^^^^--<<>>--^^^^--<<>>--^^^^ \ [sax wails, tritone stacks cutting through] [chaotic] \ **^^--<-->--**^^--<-->--**^^ \ [growl tightens] [heaviest moment] \ <><><>^^^^<><><>^^^^<><><> [Bridge] \ [half tempo] [sparse texture] [clean piano only] [eerie] [cavernous reverb] \ *(Vocals become distant, detached, almost speaking through the pitch-shift)* ~-~-~<>~-~-~<>~-~-~ \ [unsettling] [dreamlike] [subtle dissonance] \ ^--<>--^--<>--^--<>--^ \ [sudden stillness] [compress] [single sax note held] \ --^^-- \ [whispered texture] [breathy] [almost no instrumentation] \ ^-<>-^ [Breakdown] \ [near silence] [single reversed piano hit] [space] \ ^---------------<> \ [bass creeping back in] [sub rumble building beneath] \ ---^--<--**^^>>--<-->---^-- \ [wobble reforming, slow] [tension coiling] \ ^^^--^^--<->--^--<->----<-- \ [sax reenters, breathy, rising] [dread building] \ ^-^-<>^-^-<>^-^-<>^-^-<>^-^ \ [everything pulling taut] [last swell before impact] \ ^^^^--<<>>--^^^^--<<>> [Final Drop] \ [explosion] [heaviest moment in the song] [full riddim, wobble maxed] [louder than before] \ *(Vocals cut through fractured and sharp — more exposed than any prior drop)* ^^^^--<<>>--^^^^--<<>>--^^^^--<<>> \ [sax tritone stacks tearing through] [chaotic, wailing] \ **^^--<-->--**^^--<-->--**^^--<-->--**^^ \ [bass growl tightens to maximum] [stomping, relentless] \ <><><>^^^^<><><>^^^^<><><>^^^^<><><> \ [total wall of sound] [everything slams down together] \ ^^^--^^--<->--^--<->--^^--^^--<->--^^ [Outro] \ [wobble fading] [sax lingers] [single sustained note] \ *(Vocals dissolve into silence)* ^-^-<>^-^-<>^-^ *(One last bass growl... then nothing)* [End]
