Annihilation
by Darth Nihlus
Lyrics
[Intro - distant cinematic choir swells, reversed vaporwave synths, low 808 rumble, whispered ad-libs panning left to right]
[Verse 1 - trap hi-hats stuttering, distorted 808s, pitched-down vaporwave male rap, aggressive cinematic choir hits on every fourth bar]
They called it peace when the sky cracked open wide
Neon prayers raining down from the other side
I’m the glitch in the system they tried to rewrite
Vapor trails of the vanished, glowing toxic light
Cities folding like paper under digital rain
Every heartbeat a sample, every scream a refrain
I’m the static between channels, the ghost in the feed
Annihilation dressed up like everything you need
[Pre-Chorus - tension-building sidechained bass, layered vaporwave harmonies, choir rising in pitch]
They sold us forever in a thirty-second loop
Now the loop is breaking and the bodies don’t recoup
Feel the bassline cracking every promise they made
When the signal goes black, only silence gets paid
[Chorus - explosive nu-hip-hop drop, massive distorted choir, aggressive female vaporwave vocals doubled with pitched male rap]
This is annihilation, this is beautiful decay
Watch the skyline shatter in a million shades of gray
We were born to be forgotten, now we’re legends in the fade
Annihilation—say it louder—let the whole world dissipate
Annihilation—say it louder—let the whole world dissipate
[Verse 2 - darker, glitchy production, chopped vaporwave vocals, rapid-fire triplet flow over cinematic percussion]
Blood on the motherboard, code dripping red
Every algorithm dancing on the graves of the dead
I’m the last transmission, the scream they can’t mute
Trippy colors bleeding through the hole in the truth
They said “light at the end” but the tunnel caught fire
Now we’re rapping with the reaper in a vaporwave choir
Crown of static on my head, throne made of deleted scenes
Annihilation’s lullaby—sweetest thing I’ve ever screamed
[Bridge - stripped cinematic choir only, distant 808 heartbeat, sparse reversed synths, vulnerable half-whispered rap]
If you’re still breathing when the final frame drops
Tell the ones who made it that the signal never stops
We were never meant to last, just to echo in the black
Annihilation’s children, never coming back
[Final Chorus / Drop - full cinematic choir, heavy distortion, massive bass, aggressive layered vocals, vaporwave ad-libs screaming in the background]
This is annihilation, this is everything we are
Burning brighter in the moment that we’re ripped apart
Raise your hands to the static, let the colors overload
Annihilation—say it with me—let the whole world explode
Annihilation—say it with me—let the whole world explode
[Outro - fading vaporwave pads, distant choir, 808s rolling off into silence, final whispered line]
Annihilation…
We were never here…
