[INTRO — ELEVATOR] [metal doors] [DING] [computer] Going down. [deep male] How far? [computer] Yes. [doors close] [LOW RUMBLE] Level minus one. [drip] Minus ten. [distant machinery] Minus one hundred. [unknown whisper] Deeper. [deep male] Who said that? [silence] [computer] Going down. [VERSE 1] Past the pipes, past the stone, past the roots that never see home. Past old bones and buried wires, fossil seas and sleeping fires. Pressure climbing, light declining, every little sound becomes a warning sign. Map went blank about a mile ago. Elevator keeps moving. [deep male] So... I guess we're committed. [radio fragment] DO NOT— [static] —BELOW— [static] —HEARS YOU— [pause] What hears me? [SUB RUMBLES] Oh. [BUILD — DESCENT] Down. Past the dirt. Down. Past the dark. Down where the planet still remembers its spark. [female distant] Deeper... [male] I heard that. [female] Deeper... [male] Yeah, alright. [DROP 1 — MANTLE] [TECTONIC WOBBLE] DOWN! [distorted growl] DEEPER! [SUB PRESSURE] DOWN! [metallic scream] DEEPER! [slow filthy bass bends] ROCK! FIRE! PRESSURE! SOUND! SHAKE THESE BONES UNDERGROUND! [VERSE 2] Now the walls aren't rock. They're moving. Not moving like animals. Moving like... breathing. [inhale through cavern] [deep male] That's inconvenient. [beat] Heat in the chamber, bass getting stranger, frequency bending like gravity's in danger. Ancient vibrations, unknown stations, voices transmitting from forgotten locations. [chopped voices] TURN BACK. COME DOWN. TURN BACK. COME DOWN. Which one? [voices together] YES. [PSYCHEDELIC DESCENT] [heartbeat] [whisper] The deeper I went, the less the Earth felt like a place... and the more it felt alive. Maybe we're not standing on the world. Maybe we're standing on the outside of something we never understood. [female] Come closer... [deep male] To what? [female] Everything. [AMBIENT CHAMBER] [water echoes] [piano] [deep male whisper] Then the tunnel opened. No fire. No stone. Stars. An entire sky beneath the Earth. [female] You thought you were going down. [pause] There is no down. [BUILD — CORE] [heartbeat becomes kick] [radio] DEPTH UNKNOWN. [computer] LOCATION UNKNOWN. [deep male] Perfect. What about the bass? [computer] Approaching. [silence] [whisper] Brace. [FINAL DROP — THE BASEMENT] [COLOSSAL DISTORTED SUB] DEEPER! [chainsaw growl] DEEPER! [PHAT WOBBLE] DEEPER! [violent pitch dive] THERE IS NO BOTTOM! [half-time crushing dubstep] SHAKE THE ROCK! SHAKE THE CORE! OPEN UP THE UNDERGROUND DOOR! [rapid bass responses] STONE! FIRE! SPACE! LIGHT! WE WENT DOWN AND CAME OUT THE OTHER SIDE! [female soaring] We were never falling! [male] WE WERE GOING THROUGH! [FINAL EUPHORIC BASS SURGE] Through the pressure! Through the night! Through the centre! Into light! [OUTRO] [elevator DING] [doors open] [birds chirping] [deep male] Wait. Are we back? [computer] No. [alien birds] [deep male] ...interesting.
