Lyrics

Intro

Don't blink.

Verse 1

I walk in slow so they see the dress

Liquid metal, and I couldn't care less

Every camera in the room turn to me

I don't pose, I just let it be

Dancehall drums like a fuse on the floor

Synth stacks stacking by the exit door

Sub bass under the whole entire place

I'm about to detonate, look at my face

Pre-Chorus

Tick... tick... tick...

Everybody hold still

Chorus

DETONATE, watch the room go

Every wall, every window, every glow

DETONATE, feel the ground shake

Every heart in the building about to break

BOOM! (Boom!) BOOM! (Boom!)

Ava Nebula, and I own the room

Verse 2

He said "you're dangerous," I said "correct"

Every man that doubted me is a wreck

Chopped vocals like the shards on the floor

Chrome pads like the calm before

Island in my mouth, so the threat sounds sweet

Diamonds on my face, so you can't read me

I don't fight, I flash

Detonate, and then I'm gone with the cash

Pre-Chorus

Tick... tick... tick...

Everybody hold still

Chorus

DETONATE, watch the room go

Every wall, every window, every glow

DETONATE, feel the ground shake

Every heart in the building about to break

BOOM! (Boom!) BOOM! (Boom!)

Ava Nebula, and I own the room

Bridge

Three...

Two...

One...

DETONATE

Final Chorus

DETONATE, watch the room go

Every wall, every window, every glow

DETONATE, feel the ground shake

Every heart in the building about to break

BOOM! (Boom!) BOOM! (Boom!)

Ava Nebula, and I own the room

AVA NEBULA is a virtual artist of the SUPERMASSIVE Verse: a cool low alto with island vowels that talk-sings the verses and detonates on every chorus in doubled full-chest belts, over dancehall-rooted drums, sci-fi synth stacks, sub bass and chopped vocal textures. Bridgetown to the stars, chrome couture, diamonds on the face. AI-performed and disclosed.
