Vortex of Despair
funk, Hybrid metal-funk monster at 60 BPM: chugging 80s rhythm guitars over a slippery, syncopated bass groove. Thunder FX and filtered breakbeat loops bookend the song; verses ride jazz-fusion keys stabs and tight hi-hat programming. Choruses explode with soaring male power vocals, doubled in octaves, and tom-heavy fills leading into a savage, spotlight drum solo in the bridge. Mix is wide, aggressive, and cinematic., techno, jazz fusion, metal

Lyrics
Intro
Thunder in my skull
Static in my veins
Clock stuck on midnight
Every hour the same
Verse 1
Rust on the halo
Teeth in the grin
Dancing on a fault line
Begging it to give in
Cold sweat halo
Bootprints on my pride
Every step I’m taking
Is an angle to collide
Chorus
Vortex of despair
Spinning
I go nowhere (nowhere)
Pulling every color
Till it all turns black out there
Vortex of despair
Hear me
I won’t tear
If I gotta scream in circles
I’ll still rip through this dead air
Verse 2
Laugh in the mirror
Crooked
Off-time
Heartbeat stuttering
Triplets in the spine
You say “keep it steady”
But my shadow syncopates
I’m waltzing with the breakdown
At the mercy of its weight
Chorus
Vortex of despair
Spinning
I go nowhere (yeah)
Pulling every color
Till it all turns black out there
Vortex of despair
Hear me
I won’t tear
If I gotta scream in circles
I’ll still rip through this dead air
Bridge
[Drum solo crashes in
Thunder rolls under tom runs and snare flurries]
Ride it
Ride it (hey!)
Storm in my chest
I guide it
Guide it
If this whirlpool wants my bones
It’s gonna choke on every note I throw
Chorus
Vortex of despair
Spinning
I go nowhere
Pulling every color
Till it all turns black out there (all gone)
Vortex of despair
Hear me
I won’t tear
I’m the lightning in your spiral
I’m the fracture in your air
