This Accelerated Heartbeat
(Verse 1)
You bought the seeds on a Tuesday
Read the packet twice
Said you needed shade from your yesterday
At a discount price
Said my genes were perfect, a clever fix
For the acid rain of your last affair
So I started breaking ground with all your tricks
Manufacturing manufactured air
(Pre-Chorus)
And the growth chart’s hanging on the bedroom wall
I’m hitting targets, standing green and tall
I’m stretching for a sun that isn’t mine
Drawing lines of growth by your design
(Chorus)
Oh, this accelerated heartbeat
It’s not my rhythm, not my beat
You planted me to fix your weather
But darling, this won't last forever
Yeah, this accelerated heartbeat
Tastes manufactured, tastes too sweet
I breathe in all your secondhand regret
The fastest carbon capture you could get
(Verse 2)
The neighbors watch me sprouting, so impressed
They don’t see the grafting scars below the leaves
They just say I'm thriving, I must be blessed
They don’t understand what my biology receives
You tell your friends I saved you from the drought
A miracle of nature, quick and clean
But my roots go cracking through the pavement of your past doubt
Holding on for you, if you know what I mean
(Pre-Chorus)
And the growth chart’s taped up where the mirror was
I’m checking boxes, just because, just because
I’m running a simulation of the fall
Painting perfect leaves before your call
(Chorus)
Oh, this accelerated heartbeat
It’s not my rhythm, not my beat
You planted me to fix your weather
But darling, this won't last forever
Yeah, this accelerated heartbeat
Tastes manufactured, tastes too sweet
I breathe in all your secondhand regret
The fastest carbon capture you could get
(Bridge)
Is there a warning label I can’t read?
About the soil depletion, about the need
What happens when your atmosphere is clear?
Will you still need my shade, year after year?
Or will you cut me down, the job all done?
A short-term fix beneath a long-term sun?
(Chorus)
Oh, this accelerated heartbeat
It’s not my rhythm, not my beat
You planted me to fix your weather
But darling, this can’t last forever
Yeah, this accelerated heartbeat
This isn't love, it's a balance sheet
I'm breathing out the air you wanted new
But what was ever in this for me, for you?
About The Song
This track takes the concept of genetically modified 'super trees' designed for accelerated carbon capture and reframes it as a deeply personal metaphor for modern relationships. The protagonist is the 'super tree,' planted by a partner not for love, but as a quick fix for their past emotional trauma—their personal 'climate change.' The song explores the anxiety and hollowness of being someone's solution, engineered to grow fast and look perfect on the surface while feeling fundamentally unnatural. Musically, it channels the breezy, confident nu-disco/funk-pop of an artist like Sabrina Carpenter. This deliberate contrast between the upbeat, danceable groove and the unsettling, anxious lyrics creates the core tension of the song, mirroring how people often perform happiness in relationships that demand they be a 'fixer' rather than a partner.
Production Notes
Genre: Nu-Disco / Indie Pop / Lyrical Funk
Instrumentation: A tight, driving four-on-the-floor beat (LinnDrum inspiration), layered with a live, pocket-heavy bassline that acts as a lead instrument. Add clean, Nile Rodgers-style funk guitar stabs with a touch of chorus pedal, and lush, Juno-esque synth pads that swell into choruses.
Vocals: Use a warm condenser mic like a Neumann U87. The vocal chain should be clean: a quality tube preamp (for warmth), light optical compression (LA-2A style) to smooth peaks without squashing dynamics, and a subtle plate reverb. The lead vocal performance should be breathy, almost conversational in the verses, with a hint of fatigue behind a confident smile. Harmonies in the chorus should be tight and precise.
Mix: The bass and drums must be the undeniable core of the groove. Vocals should sit comfortably inside the mix, not floating on top, making them part of the overall texture. Use automation to bring the guitar stabs and synth pads in and out, creating dynamic shifts between sections. A subtle filter sweep on the main synth pad leading into the choruses can build anticipation effectively.
