Let ‘Em Cook

+ Show full styles

[Intro - 4 bars silence, felt piano single note, sub-bass swell] (whispered, barely audible) Shhh. [Verse 1 - piano + distant cello] You lit the fuse with your own hands Said you were king of a borrowed land [Pre-Chorus - low brass drone enters, long pauses] I watched you run... toward the flame I watched you carve... your own name... [Drop 1 - MASSIVE sub-bass hit, then silence, then heartbeat bass] Let 'em cook. [Verse 2 - add cold ambient pad] You dug the hole said it was deep enough You drank the poison called it love You begged the storm to know your name Now the sky remembers... [Chorus - sparse, intimate, huge impacts between lines] Didn't have to push you You were already falling Didn't have to break you You were already calling it Let 'em cook Let 'em burn Let 'em learn [Bridge - lowest register, whispered, almost spoken] Every thread you pulled Every bridge you burned Every door you locked from the inside... It was always yours. [Final Drop - earth-shaking low end, felt piano octave, cello swell, long tail] So let 'em cook Let 'em cook Let 'em... [Outro - piano decay, 8 seconds cathedral reverb tail, breath] (inhale) ...cook.
