Headaches and heartbeat
A high-intensity emotional fusion of cinematic emo-rap, melodic trap soul, and West Coast bounce at 96 BPM. Male baritone vocals alternate between Eminem-style rapid-fire, percussive rap verses with complex inner rhyme schemes and James Arthur-style choruses with soaring, emotionally raw belting. Vocal performance is expressive, dynamic, and cathartic—no autotune, no whispering, no pop gloss. Lyrics explore emotional loops, mental collapse, and the fight to survive inner chaos, blending brutal honesty with poetic structure. Instrumentation features ambient synth pads, lo-fi piano stabs, glitch-heavy trap drums, distorted 808 sub-bass, and subtle G-funk-style lead accents for West Coast flavor. Production is cinematic and spatial with wide stereo imaging and 3D mix depth. Song opens with lyrical impact—no fade-ins—and builds into explosive, emotionally saturated choruses. Gritty, layered, and soul-wrenching.

Lyrics
Headaches and heartbeats—
They don’t mix
When you’re broken
Everything splits
Depression!!.. hit like a ton of bricks!!
Thoughts too loud and my system glitches!!
I pace the cage, no breaks, no switch!
Locked in loops I can’t out-fix!
Aging fast, no room to stall
Breath feels foreign, soul feels small
They whisper deep from six feet down
But I’m still loopin’, round and round
Headaches, glitches, pressure, grind
Body’s here, but I left my mind
Six feet under might feel like peace
Dig that hole—let the screaming cease
Life’s just repeat—wash, rinse, repeat
Wake up, fake calm, drag my feet
Live a little, fall harder, die inside
Start again like pain’s been justified
I’m stuck in a loop that don’t unwind
Same shadows pulling down my spine
Can’t breathe, can’t break, can’t hit delete
Just scars on rewind—wash, rinse, repeat
I used to scream 'til the circuits blew
Now I chew my tongue like the silence grew
Mirror cracked and the voice won’t match
Can’t fake strength when the bones detach
Don’t ask “why,” I burned that script
Hope don’t call, it just flips the switch
I fall, I rise, I rot, I stall
Same cycle spinning through it all
Heart still ticking but the beat feels wrong
Spirit dragging like it don’t belong
Death ain’t freedom, it ain’t release
It’s just the loop—just repeat
Life’s just repeat—wash, rinse, repeat
Wake up, fake calm, drag my feet
Live a little, fall harder, die inside
Start again like pain’s been dignified
I’m stuck in a loop that won’t unwind
Locked inside these glitching lines
Can’t breathe, can’t break, can’t hit delete
Just scars on rewind—wash, rinse, repeat
Every day feels like the last
Every joy just fades too fast
I scream in silence, no one hears
Buried alive beneath the years
Life’s just repeat—wash, rinse, repeat
This soul ain’t mine, this cage ain’t sweet
I live, I fall, I die, then rise
Just to loop through hollow skies
If I break it—will I still be me?
If I leave—will it set me free?
Wash, rinse, repeat—til I decide
To burn the cycle… and survive
Burn it down…
Turn the tide…
Bite that silence ‘til it cries…
Wash, rinse, repeat—survive…
