[Intro | muffled club thud, slow tape wobble, rising backwards riser] [Verse 1 | forward timeline, tight rolling drum and bass cadence, dry vocal] Strobe a flash white, freeze a shadow pon di wall Sweat a run cold as di bass begin fi fall Pupil wide open, see di laser turn to ice Every kick drum rollin heavy, hittin twice People inna motion movin faster than di beat Sticky wooden floor lockin tension to mi feet Riddim push hard, hear di hi-hat start fi hiss Somethin inna head say we headin fi di abyss [Pre-Chorus | rising tempo, disorienting phaser sweeps, building snare roll] Four to di floor start fi slip out a place Sub-bass a pull every thought from mi face Clock hand a spin, balance start fi unlock Breath suckin inward, waitin pon di shock [Chorus | main hook, half-time vocal attack, heavy sub weight drop] Step forward, trip backward Sound a run in reverse (wheel it!) Step forward, trip backward Sound a run in reverse Step forward, trip backward Sound a run in reverse (hold on!) Step forward, trip backward Sound a run in reverse [Break | sensory overload, audio freeze, tape stop suction, breath drawn backward] [Drop | inverted drop, reversed amen breaks, retrograde rolling reese bass] [Verse 2 | inverted timeline, auditory hallucinations, reversed speech cadence] Now di sound suck back into di speaker cone Cans pon di ground flyin upward on dem own Rewind di motion, watch di dancer pull away Every single voice start a backward kind a play Sweat lift up off a di temple to di skin Track pullin back to di place it fi begin Laser un-shoot from di mirror to di rig Mind spinnin round as di frequency get big [Pre-Chorus | reversed rise, inward sucking risers, inverted snare rolls] Shockwave a catch every kick dat did drop Echo un-fade and di spin cannot stop Floor start fi tilt, gravity run aback Future unspoolin right off a di track [Bridge | stripped sub bass, backwards tape echo, half-time disoriented delivery] Forward, backward, which way di door? Feet driftin upward, leavin di floor Listen di phrase, turn it upside down Lost inna bassline, spinnin inna sound [Final Chorus | inverted drop returns, backward vocal delays, maximum sub roller] Step forward, trip backward Sound a run in reverse (spin out!) Step forward, trip backward Sound a run in reverse Step forward, trip backward Sound a run in reverse (wheel it back!) Step forward, trip backward Sound a run in reverse [Outro | backwards fade, reverse tape flutter, fading sub, dying room echo] Forward... backward... Spin di tape back... Catch di ground... [Tape Stop | reversed breath out]
