NEXT (Better Off)

(Intro)

(Atmospheric, ethereal synth pads. A fast, clean hi-hat pattern starts, building tension. Heavy, distorted 808 sub-bass kicks in slowly.)

(Vocal-chopped, pitched up): Mov-mov-move on... Better.

(Whispered): Check the phone. Next.

(Verse 1)

(Minimalist Trap beat: Crisp snare, rapid hi-hats, deep 808 sub)

Midnight, staring at the screen again (Why?)

Another ghost text from a 2-am friend (Stop.)

Thought it was fire, turned out just cold

Same old story, getting kind of old.

Yeah, you’re tired of the games, tired of the stress

(Synth riser builds)

Toss the memories, clean up the mess.

Drop it.

(Pre-Chorus)

(Beat stops abruptly. Only a vocal melody and a rising synth)

You can do better, yeah, you know it’s true

Stop looking back, look at what you’re gonna do...

(Chorus)

(Heavy, melodic Dubstep Drop - distorted synth chords, sidechained hard to the kick)

Tired of the ex? (Yeah!)

Move on to better!

Stop looking back! (No!)

Only looking forward!

Yeah, we going up, someone better

Someone better, better, better

(Hard triplet flow): Never-never-never look back!

Yeah!

(Verse 2)

(Beat drops to a bouncy Trap rhythm, melodic vocal style)

Deleted the pics, cleared out the room

No more impending feeling of doom.

Yeah, I’m glowing up, looking fresh

Living my life, forget all the stress.

(Pitch-shifted vocals, heavily processed)

No looking back... (Free fall)

No looking back... (Better off)

(Pre-Chorus)

(Riser builds, snare roll intensifies)

Yeah, you can do better, know it’s true

Stop looking back, let’s get into the...

(Chorus)

(Full energy Dubstep Drop)

Tired of the ex? (Yeah!)

Move on to better!

Stop looking back! (No!)

Only looking forward!

Yeah, we going up, someone better

Someone better, better, better

(Move on, move on, yeah)

(Bridge/Beat Drop - "The Breakdown")

(Vocals stop. Industrial, aggressive, tearing bass sound. Heavy, syncopated snare. High energy, metallic sounds.)

(Sound of glass shattering)

(Final Chorus)

(Maximum energy, melodic lead synth on top of the heavy bass)

Tired of the ex? (Yeah!)

Move on to better!

Stop looking back! (No!)

Only looking forward!

Yeah, we going up, someone better

Someone better, better, better

(Move on, move on, yeah)

(Outro)

(Beat fades, leaving only the airy synth from the intro)

Move on.

Better.

(Ticking clock sound returns, speeds up, then stops)

(Whispered): NEXT.
