-------------------------------Info------------------------------ Recuperation Procedure is the sixteenth track/thirteenth song/final single off of my Letter 11, and it starts the sixth chapter of the album's concept, titled "Mollify". -----------------------------Concept-------------------------- Here in this song, the protagonist breaks up the fight between the two halves of the conscience. The line "my will is chopped like a cleaver" represent the protag's willpower being cut off (interrupted and depleted) by the two halves battle. Half of the first verse is a ref to the previous tracks (eg. on Chapter 1). And half of the second one is another ref to the album's eighth track "Me Solum Relinquatis". ------------------------Composition-------------------------- I wanted to mesh old-school hip-hop (inspired by Wu-Tang Clan), and trap in one song. Turns out, it worked! The low power-chords influenced by Deadsy, combined with the aggression of trap, kinda reminds me of Yeat. I experimented with autotune (but you can barely hear it), notably on the chorus for me. In the outro, I laughed while singing "I'm cHooPpPed", kinda reminded me of India Rubber by Radiohead, so I intentionally left it in. I laughed a bit in the chorus. I also used two GarageBand loops, which the whoa-ohoh-oh line inspired the verse melody a bit/if not a lot. ------------------------------Lyrics---------------------------- [Verse 1] The hours, I cower My power is turned off I’m sick of you, tryna get me blue? I’m getting all ticked off Look at you Like browbeatin' turns of mind How’d you think I felt when I (I) crossed the line too many times? [Pre-Chorus] I’d love to unwind [Chorus] You wanna be like this when I’m going through A recuperation procedure? Can you not see My will is chopped With a cleaver [Verse 2] Your quarrels are bottom of the barrel This bomb will go off Your quarrels are leaving me in perils My power is turned off I understand you want me as your own But I’m not, why can’t you leave me alone? [Pre-Chorus] I am trying to watch my… (Tone) [Chorus] You wanna be like this when I’m going through A recuperation procedure? Can you not see That you chopped my will (Cho-o-o-ped, cho-o-o-ped) With a cleaver (I’m cho-o-o-o-ped) [Interlude] Ayyy— [Bridge] What do you want (You) From me, you both? (Two and I) You don’t even know What I want, from you both Is to permanently let me go What do you want (You) From me, you both? (Two and I) You don’t even know What I want, from you both Is to let, let, let me go [Chorus] You wanna be like this when I’m going through A recuperation procedure? Can you not see That you chopped my will With a cleaver (I’m cho-o-o-o-ped) {Credits} KKosmiKK: vocals, production GarageBand: samples
