Lyrics:

Kill the beat
As the lights strobing, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
CONFESSIONS on repeat, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
As my body breaks
Kill the beat, the beat, the beat
K-k-kill-k-k-kill

Radio plays the same song (no no uh oh)
No pulsing beat electric bass 
Hazy blizzard blast, can't find my speaker now
Turn this off give me a break

Whats, this, song playing so loud
I love mercedez baby my head is throbbing
Stayin all night, that's the name of the game
Don't forget it dont forget it forget it

Kill the beat
As the lights strobing, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
CONFESSIONS on repeat, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
As my body breaks
Kill the beat, the beat, the beat
K-k-kill-k-k-kill

Keep a secret kiss n tell
Whys my phone gone misplaced
Got my poker face they'll never know what I'll say
We're off to the moon tonight

Whats, this, song playing so loud
I love mercedez baby my head is throbbing
Stayin all night, that's the name of the game
Don't forget it dont forget it forget it

Kill the beat
As the lights strobing, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
CONFESSIONS on repeat, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
As my body breaks
Kill the beat, the beat, the beat
K-k-kill-k-k-kill

Take this blow
To your ego now you not regal
Keep it classy, not messy
Don't go slow
Pump that bass loud spin that record
We keep it humble
Never simple

Kill the beat
As the lights strobing, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
CONFESSIONS on repeat, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
As my body breaks
Kill the beat, the beat, the beat
K-k-kill-k-k-kill

Kill the beat
As the lights strobing, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
CONFESSIONS on repeat, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
As my body breaks
Kill the beat, the beat, the beat
K-k-kill-k-k-kill

These were some of the first tracks I ever released. When I released these melodic dubstep and liquid dubstep weren't really a thing and they blew up pretty quick. Over the next few years I started to see more artists making similar sounds and then we saw the evolution of chillstep, lovestep, ambient and melodic dubstep as well as liquid dubstep. Maybe they were all the same thing really. Ultimately I think they were all a sort of a response to what was available at the time - namely either paired back minimal sub heavy dubstep or the technically impressive sound design in brostep. There was a gap for more melodic, emotional, chill music in that genre and me and a bunch of others started filling it. 

Sadly I no longer have the project files but thanks to the magic of modern technology and new stem separation tools I was at least able to do a little work with what I had to retouch them and clean them up a bit. I wish I could do more, maybe one day I will do a straight rewrite of these because I really think they're good tunes, pity about the chainsaw bass in heartbeats, it was a pretty common sound back then and I hadn't quite fully detached myself from the standard dubstep tropes at the time. Oh well, it gives it a sort of 2010s charm I think. One day I will revisit this and maybe do a non-chainsaw version.
