It all started from the lyrics. and that concept of a growing hole you are attracted to. The song needed a sense of excitement, and acceleration. I processed some of the drums with random delays to give a “jittery” feeling at times. Like when you are getting the shakes. I added a couple of synths with LFOs on 16th notes to add to the urgency. The guitars add an important layer of aggression, as the protagonist is feeling a mix of excitement and pain. Note also the whispered words before the last chorus “no one will hear a sound”. This trip is a very lonely trip. You do whatever crazy things you want to do to “experience beauty”, and generally no one else is there with you.
