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
There ain't no Lord here, Dear Lord
Nobody watching or protecting
What you fear for
There's nothing moral about humans
Disillusioned, living in ruins
Most unsacred of unions
The Devil speaks fluent in influence
God's students lost
Busy disproving Newton
Must be thinking is he this fucking stupid?
I'm a shoe-in for Heaven's Gates
My dues been accruing
You sitting in that waiting room stewing
Sweat dripping, anxious
Tie getting loosened
Knowing that you judgment is pursuant
To the life that you lived
Dirty shit that you been doing
You tried to make your soul translucent
Excuses taking the place of improvements
Your prayers been muted
You soul been wounded
That high horse you rode in on
Is fucking useless
When the devil comes knocking
You don't got a lot of options
Body and soul rotten
God's forgotten, misbegotten
Downtrodden
But he ain't watching
When the devil comes knocking
You don't got a lot of options
Body and soul rotten
God's forgotten, misbegotten
Downtrodden
But he ain't watching
So do not fear God
And do not fear death
Because what is painful is easy to endure
And what is good is easy to get
And when God invites me up to have my interview
And tells me that my résumé reminds him of the sin in you
I'll remind her that you tried your best to do what's best
Without a second thought or consideration of what's next
And that you never told her children you were better for it
And that you asked if I could pass along a message for him
That if the God above is real and I was left below
That's not the kind of God I want and you should let me go
So Hello Mr. Self Righteous
Bury your pride beneath the shadow of the Cyprus
I can see it in your iris
You're lifeless
You might just
Pick and leave to fight ISIS
The Middle East, there isn't peace for those sightless
Those people need your beliefs
Spiritual crisis
You can enlighten them from underneath the Ficus
But really if they'd just remain tight-lipped
You might give
Some rationality
Some democracy
Western Culture the foundation of your Whiteness
Cause it's not a matter of wrong or right it's
A matter of these divine rights bitch
But man, fuck it
Go on your crusade
Put your woman in place, make fun of somebody who's gay
Nobody's racist on Kill-A-Black-Kid-Tuesday
And it's cool to say the n-word when you rap along with 2 Chainz
But before you go all Liu Kang on Hussein's
You gotta tell 'em you're a Christian, and you pray
But goddamnit, today is a new day
And freedom tastes like gunpowder
Pass the Crest toothpaste
When the devil comes knocking
You don't got a lot of options
Body and soul rotten
God's forgotten, misbegotten
Downtrodden
But he ain't watching
So do not fear God
And do not fear death
Because what is painful is easy to endure
And what is good is easy to get
So when God invites me up to have my interview
And tells me that my résumé reminds him of the sin in you
I'll remind her that you tried your best to do what's best
Without a second thought or consideration of what's next
And that you never told her children you were better for it
And that you asked if I could pass along a message for him
That if the God above is real and I was left below
