Black Cheddar (Rewoven by Zwiebelherz)

[Intro – vinyl crackle, tape hiss, metallic kitchen sounds, knife scraping, low industrial hum, whispered voice] Black cheddar… Black cheddar… Why is it breathing? [Verse 1 – half-rapped, sarcastic, dry nu metal groove, punchy bass, stop-and-go rhythm] Found it in the fridge at quarter past ten Wrapped in plastic like a government sin Little black brick with a chemical shine Looking back at me like “your soul is mine” Expiration date? I couldn’t read Some kind of mold or a higher breed Knife hit the surface, thick and slow Cut too deep and the thing said “no” [Pre-Chorus – tension rising, weird glitch sounds, drums building] Everybody run Everybody hide Something in the kitchen Came alive tonight [Chorus – huge, catchy, absurdly emotional, soaring guitars and synths] My black cheddar My beautiful mistake You smell like death But I just need one taste My black cheddar You melted through my brain I know you’re wrong But I still say your name [Post-Chorus – glitch stutter, vocal chops] Black— Cheddar— Black— Cheddar— [Verse 2 – heavier rap, more attitude, unstable rhythm] Neighbors called the cops around 2 AM Said they heard me screaming at a block of ham I said “wrong house, wrong meat, wrong scene” This is something far beyond cuisine Opened up the fridge and the lights went red Little cheese cathedral in the drawer instead Tiny dairy cult in a circle chant Worshipping the mold like a prophet saint [Pre-Chorus – more aggressive, guitars creeping in] Everybody run Everybody hide Something in the kitchen Learned to multiply [Chorus – bigger, more layered, emotional and ridiculous] My black cheddar My beautiful disease You rot inside my head But you still bring me peace My black cheddar You melted through my veins I know you’re cursed But I still say your name [Bridge – eerie calm, low spoken voice, glitch ambience] Maybe I should throw it away Maybe I should burn the whole place down Maybe I should stop hearing it whisper From the vegetable drawer [Build – tribal toms, strange electronic pulses, rising tension] Don’t open— Don’t touch— Don’t taste— Too late [BREAKDOWN – crushing nu metal, KoRn-style off-grid rhythm, industrial hits, aggressive shouted vocal] BLACK CHEDDAR (Stop—hit—stop—hit) MELT IT DOWN BLACK CHEDDAR YOU PUT IT IN YOU CAN’T GET IT OUT (half-beat choke) Rotting— Breathing— Growing teeth Kitchen nightmare Underneath [Final Chorus – huge catharsis, dramatic, almost beautiful] My black cheddar You terrible delight You turned my kitchen Into neon night My black cheddar You monster in the dark You took my appetite And ate my heart [Outro – only hiss, fridge hum, distant whisper] Black cheddar… Still in the fridge… Still alive…
