Chlorine
Analysis

Find the sense of the song what the singer wants to say?
This is usually easy, but tbh my kind of music and in general my type is everything makes you think, that is not what you see. So, if you hear Chlorine, makes sense but you don’t understand at the first what 21 pilots want to say, what that song really means?
Doing a little research, the song, well, it is subjective, but the meaning Imma use is that Chlorine is a substance that clean the mind of the singer, help him run, but not run run, run like fly the mind, clean the soul, leave the weight.

Find the perfect place to put your part.
Often, in collabs, the rap part (if the rapper is a invitated) is almost at the end of the song (not always, but I feel is the convention). So I usually try to located it at the end.
In this case, we first need to analyze the song:
So where are you? It’s been a little while
Sippin’ on straight chlorine, let the vibes slide over me
This beat is a chemical, beat is a chemical
When I leave don’t save my seat, I’ll be back when it’s all complete
The moment is medical, moment is medical
Sippin’ on straight chlorine
Lovin’ what I’m tastin’
Venom on my tongue
Dependant at times
Poisonous vibration
Help my body run
I’m runnin’ for my li-i-i-i-i-i-fe Runnin’ for my li-i-i-i-i-i-fe
Sippin’ on straight chlorine, let the vibes slide over me
This beat is a chemical, beat is a chemical
When I leave don’t save my seat, I’ll be back when it’s all complete
The moment is medical, moment is medical
Sippin’ on straight chlorine
Fall out of formation
I plan my escape from walls they confined
Rebel red carnation
Grows while I decay
I’m runnin’ for my li-i-i-i-i-i-fe Runnin’ for my li-i-i-i-i-i-fe Yeah, I’m runnin’ for my li-i-i-i-i-i-fe Runnin’ for my li-i-i-i-i-i-fe
(2:14)
Had you in my coat pocket, where I kept my rebel red
I felt I was invincible, you wrapped around my head
Now different lives I lead, my body lives on lead
The last two lines may read incorrect until said
The lead is terrible in flavor
But now you double as a papermaker
I despise you sometimesI love to hate the fight and you in my life is like
(2:35)
Sippin’ on straight chlorine, let the vibes slide over me
This beat is a chemical, beat is a chemical
When I leave don’t save my seat, I’ll be back when it’s all complete
The moment is medical, moment is medical
Sippin’ on straight chlorine
Let the vibe, let the vibe
Let the vibe, let the vibe
Beat is a chemical, yeah
Let the vibe, let the vibe
Let the vibe, let the vibe
Moment is medical, yeah
(3:18)
Sippin’ on straight chlorine
Let the vibe, let the vibe
Let the vibe, let the vibe
Beat is a chemical, yeah
Let the vibe, let the vibe
Let the vibe, let the vibe
Moment is medical, yeah
I’m so sorry, I forgot you
Let me catch you up to speed
I’ve been tested like the ends of
A weathered flag that’s by the sea
Can you build my house with pieces?
I’m just a chemical
Can you build my house with pieces?
I’m just a chemical
Can you build my house with pieces?
I’m just a chemical
Can you build my house with pieces?
I’m just a chemical
There, where I highlighted, I feel it’s the divider part. So after the second line I feel it is the perfect spot to place our lyrics. Yes, it is mostly about feel.

Now that we have the main idea and the place we’ll located it, time to hit the road. You need to find a instrumental of the song, and use always the same one bc sometimes the times are different by couple seconds, and that’s a problem bc you need to calculate from where to where you have to sing, and that allows you to compose the lyrics.
Notice I put the minutes on the sections I think I can rap. So now I know it’ll be around 1 minute. I know I need to finish congruently to how it will be after my finish, so the song feels fluid, the people won’t feel I put the rap over the song and that’s it, will really feel it.
-
Now I know where, I need to hear my beat part. Knowing this is just a cover, we don’t have the option to change the beat, or well, not for my skills, maybe for some other it is possible. So, let’s hear the beat, let’s feel the vibe, and let’s see what we come up.
My lyrics
Lo siento es mi destino
cada cual por su camino
las palabras no dicen cosas solo rimo
aparentar como quien busca combinar en una piscina de dudas nadie sabe natural
capturar, can feel ideas no paran de volar, es una estructura antinatural,
sin pensar, dificil asimilar, las personas al rededor que ya nunca nunca están,
un shot de chlorine para refrescar
feel how the soul is breathing grab the cup,
no te molestes, no lo entiendes, creativity’s beyond the world yeah aunque lo detestes
no lo intentes, no comprendes, vira antes que te tuestes,
levantar una tribuna no te hace en un celeste,
tiran pestes, no lo apuestes, que ni porque te lo muestre
danzando en la mente del compositor que nunca pierde,
simplemente irreverente, todo cruza por mi mente,
no lo cuente o gravemente le disparan al paciente
subsecuente para que desista de su subconciente
que le dice que rimar le hace bien a su presente
sin corriente, fui participe de algo diferente
pero no lo cuento porque me preguntan que la fuente
solo quiero descansar mi psique un tan un suficiente,
que me permita…
Draft
Mi rostro contra el viento,
Fuertes y violentos,
Mis pensamientos golpean sin movimiento,
Descanso solo cuando se detiene el tiempo,
No tengo liga, peleo con mi reflejo,
Y siempre digo que tengo que tengo que mejorar,
que apesar de todo tengo que superar, (2:32)
i feel stressed overwhelmed pretty messed,
tal vez un trago de cloro me devuelva el ser con creces,
y los jueces, cinco peces, diciendo estupideces,
al señor mayor lo ofendí con palabras soeces,
let me breath, gimme space,
feel exhausted with you face,
el ser creativo se le hace dificil complacer,
no lo sé, cuatro rimas, que placer
y se paran a mirar qué palabras no combiné
como los artistas ganan fama after de la muerte
ciertamente no se pierde si lo intentas con perrenque
estás lejos de los celestes,
alejate del sol pronto hermano antes que te tuestes, sin palabras aunque apuestes estás tan lejos del cielo que ni porque te lo muestre
