[PROLOGUE] [JILL]: (Electric bass solo; aggressive slap and pop; distorted, muddy low-end; rhythmic, syncopated funk line that feels heavy and wet.) [INTRO] [MILFRED]: (Drum kit enters; heavy kick drum and sharp snare; dry, industrial breakbeat; syncopated hats.) [SEPHYR-GLEN]: (Synthesizer; oscillating, low-frequency saw-tooth pulse; dark, industrial drone.) [VERSE 1] [ROXI]: (Adult female lead rapper; mature smoky Celtic alto timbre; unmistakable Irish/Scottish inflection; technical rap; internal rhyme; heavy consonant attack.) Copper in the circuit, the current is a fever I’m the signal in the static, a beautiful believer In the friction of the movement, the weight of the gaze Cutting through the velvet, the grey and the haze They want the spectacle, the skin, and the shine But I’m carving out the marrow, the rhythm, the line Not a ghost in the machine, but a pulse in the wire Walking through the water, I’m the spark in the wire. [CHORUS] [ROXI]: (Lead singer; transition from rap to melodic, soulful singing; smoky and powerful.) It’s the copper and the cold! A story left untold! Break the seal, let the pulse run deep A promise that the rhythm has to keep! (Full band explosion; Jill’s bass is massive; Milfred’s drums are crashing.) [VERSE 2] [ROXI]: (Rap; faster; double-time bursts; aggressive and confident.) Click-clack, the needle drops, the pressure is rising No more pretty pictures, no more compromising I’m the architect of the ache, the master of the flow Taking every secret that the shadows won't show One hand on the wood, one heart in the mud The rhythm is the only thing running in my blood. [BREAK] [JILL]: (Bass solo; melodic, wandering high-register notes; sliding into heavy funk.) [LIZ]: (Harmonica; bluesy, wailing notes; high-register bends; responding to Jill.) [BRIDGE] [SEPHYR-GLEN]: (Piano; heavy, percussive chords; dissonant; industrial.) [LIZ]: (Uilleann pipes; haunting, drone-heavy melody; cutting through the electronics.) [ROXI]: (Vocal fry; whispered, intimate speech.) Don't look for the girl you think you see. Just listen to the sound... of the signal... being free. [OUTRO] [ROXI]: (Long, held head-voice note; fading into a smoky growl.) Let it run... [JILL]: (Final heavy slap-pop; sudden silence.) [END]
