Human Drone In The Coral Grief
(Verse 1)
Calibrate my smile in the kitchen light
Run my social programming, get the sequence right
Swim in your periphery, a familiar shape
Perfect imitation, perfect escape
Map the new geometry of the bed we made
A dead zone spreading where your hand once stayed
I'm not living here, just logging the decline
A low-impact observer, by design
(Pre-Chorus)
Transmitting telemetry, on a muted feed
Logging the slow ache, planting the bad seed
I can read the temperature change in all your blank replies
Catalog the colors as they vacate your eyes
(Chorus)
And I'm your human drone, in our coral grief
My only mission is the disbelief
I catalog the silence on our dying reef
You don't even see me, just the motion and the grief
(Verse 2)
Trace the fault lines growing on the coffee cup
Where you pulled away your fingers, giving up
You talk about your day, it's just ambient sound
Another variable on hollow ground
I mimic the cadence of how we used to laugh
Draw a phantom trend line on a broken graph
I wear your indifference like a carbon shell
And hold a ceasefire in our private hell
(Pre-Chorus)
Transmitting telemetry, on a muted feed
Logging the slow ache, planting the bad seed
I can read the temperature change in all your blank replies
Catalog the colors as they vacate your eyes
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm your human drone, in our coral grief
My only mission is the disbelief
I catalog the silence on our dying reef
You don't even see me, just the motion and the grief
(Bridge)
Red light on the power pack is blinking low
How long can I orbit in the undertow?
Am I just a witness, or the slow disease?
Part of the pollution that brings you to your knees?
Maybe this data... isn't for you to save...
It's just the black box sinking under the wave...
(Chorus)
I'm your human drone, in our coral grief
This whole mission now is my belief
I won't just chart the silence on our dying reef
Maybe I’m the current, not just the fallen leaf
About The Song
"Human Drone In The Coral Grief" translates a current news story—the deployment of manta-ray-shaped eco-drones to silently monitor dying coral reefs—into a deeply personal metaphor for the end of a relationship. The song’s protagonist has adopted the role of the drone in their own life. They are no longer an active participant but a silent, low-impact observer, mimicking the old routines ("swimming patterns") while meticulously documenting the emotional decay ("coral bleaching") of their partner and their shared life. Musically, it channels the sparse, sub-bass-heavy intimacy of artists like Billie Eilish, where the close, whispered vocals create the feeling of a private, internal monologue. It’s about that specific, strange, and heartbreaking human experience of going through the motions, acting as a passive witness to a slow collapse you feel powerless—or perhaps unwilling—to stop.
Production Notes
Vocals: The lead vocal should be recorded with a high-end condenser mic (like a Neumann U 87) extremely close to the vocalist to capture every breath and intimate detail. It should be delivered in a hushed, almost conspiratorial tone, with minimal reverb, relying on heavy compression to bring it right to the forefront. The harmony in the final chorus should be wider, more layered, signifying a shift in perspective.
Arrangement: The foundation is a deep, pulsating sine wave sub-bass that acts as the primary rhythmic driver. A sparse, skittering hi-hat pattern (like a TR-808) should pan erratically left and right, representing the drone's sensory 'pings'. Add a simple, haunting synth-pad melody in the chorus using a sound with a slow attack. The bridge should strip almost everything away except a filtered vocal and a faint, high-frequency synth shimmer, mimicking the 'low power' light.
Mix Automation: This song lives in automation. During the verses, keep the mix claustrophobically centered. On the pre-chorus, start subtly widening the stereo field. The chorus should feel like a sudden plunge into a vast, dark space, with the sub-bass widening and the vocal harmonies panning out. The erratic hi-hats should become more frequent and louder during moments of higher tension. Use filters to sweep over the entire track during transitions, making it feel like it's coming from underwater or through a distorted sensor feed.
