Gallows (Ms Lilz Remix) 1
Drum and Bass
[Verse 1] Like a voice in the water telling me to let go Pulling deeper where the current runs cold I've been holding my breath for so long now Waiting for the surface, but I don't know how [Ms Lilz - Feature Verse 1] Oi, listen yeah, I been down in the deep end Where the light don't reach and the cold don't sleep in Treading water with me lungs on fire Every breath's a gamble, every step's a wire They don't know what it's like when the rope gets tight When you're hanging by a thread in the dead of night But I'm still here, still standing, still breathing Still fighting through the dark, still believing [Pre-Chorus] I'm hanging by a thread But I'm not falling yet The weight of all I've said Keeps me from my rest [Chorus] I'm hanging by a thread Between the living and the dead Every word I never said Echoes in my head I'm hanging by a thread But I'm not gone, not yet I'm hanging by a thread [Verse 2] There's a light in the distance I can barely see Like a memory of who I used to be Every step forward feels like sinking sand But I reach for tomorrow with an open hand [Ms Lilz - Feature Verse 2] Yeah, I see that light, it's flickering, faint Like a candle in the wind, covered up in paint But still find its way beneath the stars Still burn through the night with all its scars I been where you been, on the edge of the ledge Where the ground falls away and you're out on the edge But we don't fold, nah, we don't break We just hold on tight for tomorrow's sake [Pre-Chorus] I'm hanging by a thread But I'm not falling yet The weight of all I've said Keeps me from my rest [Chorus] I'm hanging by a thread Between the living and the dead Every word I never said Echoes in my head I'm hanging by a thread But I'm not gone, not yet I'm hanging by a thread [Bridge] And if I fall, will you remember me? Or will I fade like a forgotten dream? The rope is fraying, but I'm holding tight One more breath, one more fight [Ms Lilz - Feature Verse 3] Morning breaks through the silver gray Another chance, another day You think the thread's about to snap? Nah, mate We're stronger than the weight, stronger than the fate I been through the fire, through the flood, through the pain Through the storms that tried to wash me down the drain But I'm still here, still spitting, still real Ms Lilz on the track, that's the deal So hold on, bruv, we ain't done yet We're hanging by a thread but we ain't finished yet [Verse 3] Morning breaks through the silver gray And I'm still here, I found a way The thread might fray, but it won't break I'll hold on for tomorrow's sake [Chorus] I'm hanging by a thread Between the living and the dead Every word I never said Echoes in my head I'm hanging by a thread But I'm not gone, not yet I'm hanging by a thread [Outro] I'm hanging by a thread But I'm still here instead I'm hanging by a thread Not falling, not yet I'm hanging by a thread

Genre
Drum and Bass
Gist
A visceral exploration of survival against overwhelming odds, "Gallows" chronicles the struggle of someone teetering on the edge of despair yet refusing to surrender. Through vivid aquatic and rope metaphors, the track captures the tension between surrendering to darkness and clinging to hope, ultimately affirming resilience and the will to persevere through another day.
Themes
- Existential struggle and survival: The constant battle between giving up and holding on
- Unspoken regret: Words left unsaid that haunt the psyche
- Shared trauma and solidarity: Finding strength through collective experience and mutual understanding
- Redemption through persistence: The incremental victories of simply enduring and finding light in darkness
- Transformation and renewal: The promise of dawn and second chances
Inspiration
This remix was inspired by a request to transform raw emotional vulnerability into an urgent, high-energy narrative. The original lyrics' drowning metaphors and thread-hanging imagery were amplified through Ms Lilz's gritty, street-wise feature verses, creating a dialogue between two perspectives on survival. The drum and bass production elevates the psychological tension inherent in the source material, matching the frenetic energy of someone fighting against an invisible current.
Emotional Impact
The track generates a potent cocktail of anxiety and empowerment. Listeners experience the suffocating weight of desperation through the verses' introspective passages, only to be lifted by Ms Lilz's defiant declarations and the driving drum and bass rhythm. The cumulative effect is cathartic—validating real struggle while delivering an anthemic message of unbroken resilience that resonates with anyone who's faced their own edge.
