It matches the words better as she begins making decisions. Unlike the first verse, the alternating mid-range beat sounds more commanding and resolute. The lyrics are so bold, the step down vanishes until the end of the rap. A vulnerable incredibly lyrically dense section. She begins listing all the things she would be able to do if she were stronger. The bass relentlessly pounds like a metronome and acts as the only stable thing she’s not describing. The synth reverts to melody so we don’t get lost. Starting with “I’d walk straight though the bullet” we’re treated to an intense segment of lyrics. Oh you thought the chorus was over? Get ready for the not-rap rap.

And we still maintain our periodically haunting step downs at the end of each phrase.

An upper synth line that gives a slightly tropical vibe but rounds out the tone. We have a grand bass line that pounds throughout the chorus. If I had a diamond heart.” We hear the familiar step down after “jewel” but now the beat drops. “ And if I was bulletproof” gets the motor running with a consistent bass drum underneath. There’s then this kinda cool howl like sound behind the track that sounds a bit haunting.Īfter “I’ll never love again” there is a 5 note chord stepping down that lands with a thud, letting you know this is about to mean business. “Hello sweet grief, I know you’ll be the death of me.”Ĭolor me curious.

Then, the first words smack you in the face. The song starts with a very ethereal soft instrumentation.
