Brain Melting Point of View
by Darth Nihlus
Lyrics
[Intro - hazy vaporwave synths rolling in slow motion, pitched-down Dr Seuss-style multisyllabic rap floating above sub-bass 808s, distant vocal chops echoing like melting clocks]
Melting minds in metronome time,
I rhyme through the prism where reason resigns,
Vapor trails tracing the face of the faceless,
Basslines bend space till the planets get faceless,
Trippy syllables spiral, syllables spinning,
Psychedelic prescriptions keep slipping and winning.
[Verse 1 - laid-back boom-bap drums with swinging hi-hats, thick 808 glides under hazy Rhodes chords, confident yet unhinged male rap with tongue-twister flow]
Step into the spectrum where shadows have shadows,
Thoughts turn to taffy and gravity wobbles,
I swallow the rainbow, regurgitate riddles,
The middle of nothing is bigger than middles,
Alphabet soup swimming in cerebral solvents,
Solvents dissolve all the logic we wanted,
Wanted the answer? The answer is acid,
Acid is laughter when sanity’s absent.
[Pre-Chorus - synth arpeggios rising, vocal layers stacking into eerie harmonies, tension building with reversed cymbals]
Brain melting, brain melting,
Melting point reached when the ceiling starts melting,
Melting like wax under ultraviolet questions,
Questions that question their own comprehension.
[Chorus - explosive nu-hip-hop drop, massive sidechained bass, chopped-and-screwed vaporwave vocal chops, anthemic group chants layered over distorted 808s]
Brain melting point, trip on the joint,
Reality’s rubber, the rubber’s got joints,
Brain melting point, slip through the noise,
Colors taste louder than musical toys,
Brain melting point, thoughts in the void,
Dr Seuss on the loose with the juice of the void,
Brain melting point, don’t need a coin,
Flip fate like a pancake on psychonaut soil.
[Verse 2 - glitchy vocal chops, trap hi-hats stuttering, dark synth stabs cutting through swirling pads, rap delivery shifts to rapid-fire multisyllabic schemes]
Now multiply minutes till minutes are missing,
Missiles of meaning keep missing their mission,
Mission control lost in a loop of illusions,
Illusions are cushions we cushion conclusions,
Conclusions conclude that the truth is a tumor,
Tumors of thought grow and swallow the roomer,
Roomer the rumor the brain’s in a blender,
Blender the thinker till thinker’s a sender.
[Bridge - stripped-back, piano drenched in heavy reverb and delay, lone male rap in half-speed, vulnerable yet manic delivery]
Hold up, half-speed, half-thought, half-there,
Where is the where when the where isn’t there?
Air becomes liquid and liquid is air,
Care for the care when the care isn’t care?
[Outro - long psychedelic fade, ethereal vaporwave pads swelling, reversed vocals, distant 808s pulsing like a heartbeat slowing down, multisyllabic whispers repeating and dissolving]
Brain melting, brain melting,
Melting like wax under ultraviolet questions,
Brain melting, brain melting,
The point is the point where the point starts unpointing…
