PinkWetC

I met the challenge by reading the wikipedia article for “Metamorphosis” in bugs. I had the joy of composing much of the instrumentation in the A(phid) section, but got a funny little sense after writing the “not to be confused with the text by kafka” and the double metamorphosis song came to life. With Dave’s masterful followup chord wise into the B(ee) section we knew we had something super fun and transformative. Thank you to Imp, Slippy Thumbsticks for verses! Thank you to Sabre (formerly known as Diabolical Drizz) for their Trumpet Playing, JoeyZ for their LUSH keys, Shawn Solo Beats for lending us his solo beat, Flexstyle for flexing some dirty lead, and my Smart and Sexy Girlfriend Jester Rudely for her wonderful monologue.

Pinky took the lead on composing the first half of the song, set in a very hopeful major key, which I then followed up with a complimentary minor section. Musically we both kept on theme of bugs and metamorphosis, so sounds are made to either sound bug-like, or even straight up samples of bugs (the bass for the end section is sampled from an actual cicada). While arranging and mixing everything I wanted the song to fit the feeling of the bug's lifecycle, starting with a small simple production that grows as it reaches the end of each phase of its life, before becoming something more.

Metamorphosis

[Intro hype]
Are you hungry for change?
Do you find it impossible to stay the same?

[Hook]
Butterfly in the sky
What did you do to get so high?
Butterfly in the sky
What did you do to get so high?
Little butterfly Little butterfly 
Butterfly in the sky
How did you get so high?

[Verse]
Hemimetabolic 
I’m a pretty YOUNG NYMPH
Each phase of stadium I grow my exoskeleton 
I’m a Dragonfly, Cockroach, Cricket, Termite
Cicada, Stick bug, Aphid, Mayfly!
ASK ME ONCE MORE HOW I GOT SO FLY 
 
[IMP VERSE]
Metamorphosis starts with an egg
Hatch into bugs knowing nothing's a friend
Poor guy, larva eat everything, growing in size
Like you during puberty, it's loathing it's life

Goes inside of pupas, liquified inside
Killing time til solid, definitive in size
As adults, got memories of their childhoods
Might be in need of therapy and adult guidebooks


[Hook + Verse]
Holometaboly 
I’ll think I’ll be a couple things
I’ll be a Larva then a Pupa, Glow up and spread my wings 
I’ll be a Beetle, Lacewing, Flea or sawfly
Butterfly, Bee, or a Twisted-winged parasite! 
ASK ME ONCE MORE HOW I GOT SO FLY

[Transitional Verse - Pinky] 
Morphe like “form” Meta like “after”
Not to be confused with the text by Kafka
Don’t be afraid young nymph or little larvae
Perfectly normal Biological Process

This beat is Holometabolous
That means “Complete Metamorphosis”
It’s gonna go where it’s never been
Complete Metamorphosis

[SLIPPY THUMBSTICKS FINAL BOSS ]
Who the fuck is Franz Kafka
It's a metamorphosis that I'm after
Wiki with the genre links
And who the author is
And a shorter glimpse of each chapter 

Gregor Samsa!
Who's lost his humanity,
Looks like  a bug disgusting the family 
Discuss with brevity they face depravity 
He dies eventually they wait for harmony 

I'm late for therapy scroll page for clarity
Interpretations state such polarity 
Choose from integrity stifled morality 
Political or spiritual zeitgeustal gravity 

Wiki fuck your donations 
Check your translation
The books appellation ain't transformation
Germans be saying that “Ungezeifer”
 Mean’s he's vermin  bedbug or neither

 Yes Wikipedia I'm serious WHY?
No modern media is seen in my eye!
 Bugs life or splice ain't right but just try…
Movies that be doing this like Cronenburgs fly

And I score high when I write my reports
Cos I never use Wiki as a primary source
 Though insights they course like insects who morph
Having metamorphoses  forming these thoughts
