So... hear me out. Here is the story this image told me.

You're in a rut. A robotic rut, just waking up. Now shower, shit and shave, got to work, go to sleep. Rinse and repeat, just a cog, mindlessly existing in this mechanical society.

0:00 So this track starts with the jungle beat, with the robotic grind of routine. Intensity and pressure builds. There must be more?

1:51 Awakening. A passion stirs, a hobby, a new person in your life, a call to your soul. The thought gets lost as the machine pulls you back in. But the Beast is awake.

2:26 Get the fuck up. The beast within is taking control. You're no longer that cog. The fire in your soul builds and it's your time to find happiness. Find success, discover a purpose in life and embrace it.

3:20 You feel alive. Primal happiness. You've done it. No more self sabotage, only push forward.

4:22 You're aware you still exist in the machine, but you march to the beat of your own drum. You're still surrounded by "cogs" who have not yet awakened their souls, and may never, but that is not your weight to carry. Keep your fire fueled.

The. End.

The track is a bit of a mashup. I wrote the drums first for that jungle feel. Used the FL Studio 303 Emulator "Transistor Bass" combined with some guitar fx pedals for the robotic elements. Bassline with some distortion automation to give it the growl of a beast awakening. Then brought in the Breakbeat / DnB elements. The piano merges with synths to bring it all to life.
