Soft-Serve Truth
Afrobeat, funky, boogy woogy, experimental, electric piano-driven, piano solo, guitar harmonies, ironic, dramatic, emotional, grave male vocals, fast New York rap fusion, trip-hop, verse stays half-buried and conversational, pre-chorus opens with rising chord washes and stacked falsetto, chorus blooms into shimmering wall-of-sound with chantable hooks. Vocal delivery is close-mic and airy in verses, double-tracked and smeared with delay on the hook, with whispered asides and gang-voiced backing lines. Ear candy: reversed guitar swells into each chorus, tape-wobble transitions before the bridge. Mix is bright but fogged, glossy yet dusty., neo soul fake, wordplay, ethereal ambient, breakstep synthwave, dark epic, alternative folk, spacious, counterpoint, psychedelic soul, aggressive guitar riffs, soukous, soulful rap, snare rolls, blues rap, kick drum, passionate vocals,, rap rock, instrumental outro, pre-chorus, rough male vocals, expressive percussion, hardtrance, rap-rave, parody

Lyrics
Verse 1
My feed wore a mask today
Said the moon was on the ballot
Said your neighbor stole the rain
From a truck in a parking lot
My thumb went skating down
On a river made of nonsense
Cute little lies in a sponsored gown
And a grin with perfect teeth
Pre-Chorus
Every clip is dressed to kill
Every caption knows my name
I can’t tell if it’s a joke
Or a hammer in a frame
Chorus
Soft-serve truth, melt away
Soft-serve truth, drip all day
(Soft-serve truth)
Pay for my fear, then call it news
Pay for my fear, then call it true
Verse 2
There’s a face made out of light
Saying what I already wanted
Then another one by night
With a voice that sounds haunted
Ads keep knocking at my door
Like they own the shape of want
“Click here” glitter on the floor
And my patience in a slump
Pre-Chorus
Every trend has borrowed hands
Every smile has extra glue
I keep scrolling for the facts
And I find a better you
Chorus
Soft-serve truth, melt away
Soft-serve truth, drip all day
(Soft-serve truth)
Pay for my fear, then call it news
Pay for my fear, then call it true
Bridge
I saw a thousand copies
Of a thing that never lived
A crowd with borrowed faces
All agreeing to forgive
The map got redrawn nightly
By a bot with velvet gloves
And my country in the comments
Kept refreshing for a shove
Chorus
Soft-serve truth, melt away
Soft-serve truth, drip all day
(Soft-serve truth)
Pay for my fear, then call it news
Pay for my fear, then call it true
Outro
Oh, I know
It’s a joke with sharp teeth
Oh, I know
But it bites like me
(Soft-serve truth)
