After the Drop by by Rian Makar

edm, dubstep, drum & bass, bpm 1000, distorted teen female voice, synthwave, confidence

[Pre-Chorus]
They danced around my words like lanterns round a fire
And somewhere in the crowd I lost the one small thing I’d hire

[Chorus]
After the drop I heard the silence that I’d left behind
A chorus full of sugar but the edges weren’t aligned
If kindness is a simple coat you give so no one shivers more
Then why did my loud music make that doorway feel like war?

[Verse 2]
They praised the pulse, they praised the kick, the studio’s brave sheen
But not the line about the jacket warming something lean
I sang as if I owned the story, wrapped the verse in gloss and light
When what I meant was weathered hands and someone cold at night

[Pre-Chorus]
A review with silver knife told me what I failed to feel
That loudness can be luxury and quiet can be real

[Chorus]
After the drop I heard the silence that I’d left behind
A chorus full of glitter but the heart it hid was mine
If love is meant to wander where there’s nobody to boast
Then teach me how to give without the stage, without the post

[bass drop]
[bass drop]

[Bridge]
I’d learned a melody from someone brave and small
And traded warmth for spectacle beneath a glass-lit hall
So I’ll fold the synth into a hum, knock soft on midnight’s door
Bring a spare coat to a wintered child and mean it more and more

[bass drop]
[bass drop]

[Chorus (aggressive)]
After the drop I keep a quieter song inside
One that fits between the footsteps, one that’s gentle, not a pride
If giving isn’t headline, if it’s not applause to claim
I’ll practice being humble with a pocketed, honest name

[bass drop]
[bass drop]

[Outro]
Tonight I press record again — close-mic, no flashing crowd
I sing a small, inconvenient truth and let it speak aloud
Not for the floor to move or for the lights to swell above
Just for the simple duty of a hand that offers love.

[Verse 1] Lights went up and I learned to wear a heavier sound A thump that hid the sentence where a quiet truth was found Microphone like silver glass, it caught my breath and swallowed it I thought the rhythm would set meaning free — it only made me flit [Pre-Chorus] They danced around my words like lanterns round a fire And somewhere in the crowd I lost the one small thing I’d hire [Chorus] After the drop I heard the silence that I’d left behind A chorus full of sugar but the edges weren’t aligned If kindness is a simple coat you give so no one shivers more Then why did my loud music make that doorway feel like war?
