BPM87
旋律
歌曲有多麼清晰易記且符合明確音樂模式的旋律。通常,旋律分明的作品會擁有清晰易記的器樂或人聲主線。
原聲音質
此指標衡量一首歌曲在多大程度上依賴原聲樂器 (例如鋼琴、吉他、小提琴、鼓、薩克斯風),而非電子或數位合成音效
Valence
歌曲透過和聲與節奏所傳達的音樂積極性或情感基調。數值高通常對應快樂、興奮或愉悅感,數值低則與悲傷、憤怒或憂鬱相關。
節奏感
綜合了節拍穩定性、節奏型態與重拍強度等多重因素,以判定一首歌曲適合跳舞的程度。一首「節奏感強」的歌曲,通常具備穩定的速度、重複的音樂結構與明顯的強拍。
輕快
曲目的律動感可能受節奏快慢、音量起伏與聲譜密度所影響。較輕快的歌曲通常節奏強勁,編曲豐滿;反之,不太輕快的歌曲則可能編曲簡約、節奏較慢。
歌詞
Hey yo
Truth whirlwinds
They crash deception parties
Thoughts is on time
But the actions are tardy
The beast molds your mind
Makes you think that he's godly
This world is filled with victims
And no one is saying sorry
I'm with revolutionaries
And insightful minds
These poets and painters
Who's far ahead of their time
According to their laws
We live a life of crime
But what's right for Babylon
Is never right for mine
These shots of inspiration
Taken straight with no chaser
Film in my mind
Makes a picture on paper
The cold road of life
Is like gliding down a glacier
I drive home the point
DJ Mutt push the fader
My light's so bright
When I shine
It be blinding kids
Fuck a watch
Son I'll show you what time it is
Breath of fresh air
These words clear your sinuses
This shit’s too hot
Ya can’t stop from rewinding it
Break it is the style
My man don’t see dance(?)
Your whole style get cut short
Like capri pants
Peace propaganda
That’s what we chant
Don’t burn your brother man
Burn the green plant
Right?
Hey yo
An indecision
Is splitting my world
Should I take this blue pill
And just follow the girl?
Or should I try to stand still
As my universe twirls
A straight and narrow path
Must eventually curl
They keep showing me the bible
But they hiding the pearls
Man this pain chips my heart
Into cold and smaller pieces
Add an anti
To my original thesis
What was once a reflection
Of my true love for Jesus
Has me battling the matador
And exposing his weakness
I reclaim the culture
That the wicked man stole
My mental jewels can’t compare
To their platinum and gold
Melody makers and dreamers
No longer have control
Jam the metaphor machete
Deep into corporate soul
I’m hoping that the ink
Will help balance out insanity
Mind bending drips
That negotiate reality
College kids at parties
Drinking liquid personality
Man I’m speaking my mind
I don’t give a damn if you’re mad at me
Persist with attacks
But I’ll never retreat
My mind’s a rhythm
Shit I even walk to a beat
I talk to a beat
Articulate my thoughts
Through a beat
There ain’t no sense in
Starting with me
Yo
Four walls and a roof
Give you plenty of time to wonder
So deep we seem to plunder
They take away our names
And replace it with a number
Under – pressure
I choose to leave the melting pot
Magic hidden spirit
Didn’t really seem to help a lot
I felt a spot
Crumble so I jetted
Before it swallowed I
Try to fill it back up
Continue feeling hollow
I – wallow among the ghosts
I still have to travel to
The convenience store
I figured out just who the spot
Was more convenient for
Not me or my brethren
Rather it’s the power
To abuse us
They fill the store with goodies
To distract us and amuse us
It blew us
Out of the fucking frame
And nearly killed us
Gather our belongings
In a weak attempt to build up
Replenish, restore or –
Whatever it is
But in the land of hollow schools
Streets are packed with veteran kids
The wetter it is the better it is
For the opposite of me
I’m trying to climb up on the wave
But they ain’t stopping it for me
We sit and pass the bass(?)
And watch the surfers pass by
Already know the answer
We ask why (why)
Fuck trying to catch the wave
And begging for restitution
We’ll seek to Atlantis and start over
(Why?)
Because that’s the best solution
