[INTRO — THE SLIDE BEGINS] [Ambient pads — dark, atmospheric, F minor] [808 sub-bass — rumbling, distant] [Rolling hi-hats — trap, sparse] [Glitchy percussion — clicks, pops, static] [Female soul vocal, raspy, breathy, intimate] I'm sliding… I'm sliding down… I can't hold on… I can't hold on… [VERSE 1 — THE FALL] [Trap drums — 808 sub-bass, rolling hi-hats, trap snares, halftime] [Math metal guitar — polyrhythmic riffs, 7/8 time signature, dissonant chords, tapping, hybrid picking] [Female soul vocal, raspy, breathy, intimate, vulnerable] I feel the ground beneath me crack, I feel the weight upon my back. I've been climbing since the day I was born, Just to watch it all get torn. Every step I take, the floor gives way, Every breath I take, I drift away. And I'm sliding… I'm sliding down… I can't hold on… [VERSE 2 — THE DEPTHS] [Trap drums — 808 sub-bass, rolling hi-hats, trap snares, halftime] [Math metal guitar — polyrhythmic riffs, 11/8 time signature, dissonant chords, tapping, hybrid picking] [Female soul vocal, raspy, breathy, intimate, vulnerable] I've been drowning in a sea of my own skin, I've been fighting battles I can never win. The voices in my head are getting loud, I'm buried underneath a burning cloud. I reach for something but there's nothing there, I'm suffocating in my own despair. And I'm sliding… I'm sliding down… I can't hold on… [PRE-CHORUS] [Building intensity, 808 sub-bass drops, hi-hats rolling faster] [Math metal guitar — sweep picking, string skipping, pinch harmonics, whammy bar] [Tension rising, glitchy transitions] [Female soul vocal, rising, strained, cracked belt] And I can't stop the fall… And I can't hear the call… And I don't know who I am… I don't know who I am at all… [CHORUS — THE FALL] [Full band — trap × math metal drop, maximum intensity] [808 sub-bass, rolling hi-hats, trap snares, halftime drums] [Math metal guitar — polyrhythmic riffs, 7/8, 11/8, 5/4, dissonant chords, tapping, sweep picking, string skipping, pinch harmonics, whammy bar] [Female soul vocal, raspy, soaring, cracked belt, layered harmonies] SLIDE FALLING! I'M FALLING APART! SLIDE FALLING! I'M BREAKING MY HEART! AND I CAN'T FIND THE GROUND! AND I CAN'T HEAR A SOUND! SLIDE FALLING! I'M FALLING DOWN! [BRIDGE — THE MELTDOWN] [Stripped, atmospheric, ambient pads, glitchy percussion] [808 sub-bass — rumbling, distant] [Math metal guitar — clean arpeggios, dissonant, emotional] [Female soul vocal, spoken word, raspy, broken, whispered] I used to know myself… I used to know my name… But now I'm just a stranger… Playing someone else's game… [Building] I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MYSELF! [Building] I DON'T WANT TO DISAPPEAR! [SCREAMED] I'M STILL HERE! [GUITAR SOLO — THE VIRTUOSO CRY] [Virtuosic guitar solo — math metal, technical, extreme] [Tapping, sweep picking, string skipping, hybrid picking, pinch harmonics, whammy bar] [Polyrhythmic riffs, odd time signatures, dissonant chords] [Trap drums — 808 sub-bass, rolling hi-hats, trap snares, halftime] [No vocals — the guitar speaks the fall the voice can't contain] [Building from intimate to explosive to transcendent] [FINAL CHORUS — THE RESOLUTION] [Full band — maximum intensity, trap × math metal drop] [808 sub-bass, rolling hi-hats, trap snares, halftime drums] [Math metal guitar — polyrhythmic riffs, 7/8, 11/8, 5/4, dissonant chords, tapping, sweep picking, string skipping, pinch harmonics, whammy bar] [Female soul vocal, raspy, soaring, cracked belt, layered harmonies, breaking] SLIDE FALLING! I'M FALLING APART! SLIDE FALLING! I'M BREAKING MY HEART! AND I CAN'T FIND THE GROUND! AND I CAN'T HEAR A SOUND! SLIDE FALLING! I'M FALLING DOWN! [OUTRO — FADING INTO NOTHING] [Music fades — ambient pads, atmospheric, dark] [808 sub-bass — rumbling, fading] [Rolling hi-hats — fading] [Glitchy percussion — fading] [Math metal guitar — clean arpeggios, dissonant, fading] [Female soul vocal, raspy, whispered, exhausted, broken, fading] I'm sliding… I'm sliding down… I can't hold on… I'm still here… [Whispered] I'm still here… [Silence] [Ambient pad, final chord. Guitar harmonic, decaying to silence.] [Amp hiss. Silence.]
