Avoidant (Soffia’s song)

[Intro] [glassy shimmer, reverse reverb, chromatic, cold, processed] ... ... [Verse 1] [whispered vocal, sub-bass distortion, tritone, flat delivery, narrow range] You disappear like it's noble, like silence makes you clean. You call me "too emotional"… ... while you don't say anything. [808 sub-hit, sparse percussion, dead room, maximum space between lines] You let me drown in questions, blamed me when I screamed. Said I twisted all your words— ... but you never said what you mean. [Pre-Chorus] [sub-bass drops lower, whisper tightens] You hide behind your distance like it's some kind of control. ... But indifference ain't innocence… it's just fear dressed up as cold. [Chorus] [vocal snap to growl, distorted stab, brief intensity then silence] Avoid— ... Avoid— ... [whisper, quieter than before, sub-bass rumbling underneath] Avoid me. Then say we're amicable. [growl returns on key words] You blocked me like I'm crazy, like I'm the one who lied. But you ripped my heart out slowly… ... then walked away in pride. [Post-Chorus] [full chest voice, 808 pulse, no whisper, no growl — declaration] I feel everything — yeah, I own it. You feel nothing — then you spin it. ... But being numb don't make you right. It just means you never lived it. [Verse 2] [whispered vocal returns, even flatter, venomous calm] You loved me when it was easy, when I asked for nothing real. But the second I needed honesty… ... you vanished instead of feel. [808 sub-hit, maximum space] You keep your hands so clean, never say the ugly truth. ... Silence is a weapon— and you stab me in the back. [Chorus 2] [vocal snap to growl, distorted stab, silence] Avoid— ... Avoid— ... [whisper, dangerous] Avoid me. Then tell them I'm too much. [growl] You blocked me like a coward, called it "protecting peace." ... But peace ain't running from the truth— it's having guts to speak. [Post-Chorus] [full chest, 808 pulse] I feel everything — yeah, I own it. You feel nothing — then you win it. ... I'd rather burn than disappear like you pretend you didn't. [Bridge] [stripped to sub-bass only, whisper barely audible, intimate, menacing] Go ahead… control the story. Tell them I went insane. ... [voice rising from whisper to natural, slow build] I'll be loud, I'll be messy— ... At least I felt the pain. [full bass, natural chest voice, power chord, grounded, no beauty] You don't get to rewrite me. You don't get to decide that loving you was weakness… ... or that I should've stayed quiet. [Final Chorus] [growl on "avoid," then pulls to full voice — no whisper left, she's past it] Avoid— Avoid— Avoid me. Yeah, that's your favorite move. But I'm done chasing shadows, got nothing left to prove. [Somatic Echo — held tone, sub-bass wide open] You didn't break me— you revealed me. ... And I'm stronger than you thought. [Outro] [natural voice, unguarded, 808 fading, almost bare] Yeah I cry, yeah I feel it, yeah I say what's true. ... ... I'd rather be emotional… ... than be empty like you. ...
