Padded Perimeter

[Intro] [Heavy, dusty breakbeat begins. Deep sub-bass creates a physical vibration.] [PURRdita: Spoken, aloof] You’re in my light. Take a step back. Further. [Verse 1] [PURRdita: Smooth, untouchable delivery] The atmosphere is heavy and the— (Stop.) I am fine. I’m drawing out a permanent— (Stop.) border line. You’re leaning in to offer me— (Stop.) bad advice. I’ve already— (Stop.) calculated out the price. I don't require a partner or— (Stop.) a second glance. I’m occupying— (Stop.) all the available space for the dance. Your energy is messy and— (Stop.) your tone is loud. I’m a solitary— (Stop.) shadow in a noisy crowd. [Chorus] [Strings swell, lush and slightly dark. Vocals are melodic and dismissive.] This is my padded perimeter. Stay on the other side. I’m the only inhabitant. Enjoying the steady glide. I don't need a consult. I don't need a friend. This is where your— Interference has to end. [Verse 2] [Drums and sub-bass only. Slinky, boundary-focused flow.] You think I need a— (Stop.) hero for the night? I’m perfectly— (Stop.) comfortable out of your sight. The conversation’s over— (Stop.) zip the lip. I’m the master of— (Stop.) every single rhythmic slip. Don't touch the— (Stop.) fabric of the coat I wear. Don't bother— (Stop.) poisoning my personal air. My status is— (Stop.) independent and correct. I’m the only— (Stop.) variable I need to protect. [Chorus] [Full strings return, cinematic boss energy.] This is my padded perimeter. Stay on the other side. I’m the only inhabitant. Enjoying the steady glide. I don't need a consult. I don't need a friend. This is where your— Interference has to end. [Outro] [Beat continues, strings fade into the sub-bass] [PURRdita: Spoken] Are you still here? Check the exit. It's a great look for you. Meow. [Beat stops abruptly]
