songwriting for an edm project

Hey, this project is a passion project for me that im going to be spending a few months on. It is a very illenium style track with heavy melodic bass elements, but also transitions into a heavier, dubstep drop. similar songs would be Needed you, Pray, crawl outta love, and Gold. all by illenium. I want to bring in the ideas of mercy and a savior figure not necessarily relating back to religion but anything the listener can bring it to within their life. also in the bridg ... e section where im bringing the song into the heavier Drop 1B, i would like to have an emphasis on the mercy part, meaning as in the person asking the song itself to have mercy on them, but also relating back into the meaning of the song in general. pulling one out of a struggle and deep rutt whether its a relationship, addiction, religious reason, anything. I have exported a few minutes of just the guitar and bass, with some added melodies coming in later on. I really only need 32 bar intro verse/chorus, 16 bar bridge, and 32 bar verse/chorus to bring it into the last drop. in the export concept, on that breakdown is where vocals would come in, leading into the build up just to give some reference. feel free to repeat phrasing to bring emphasis to the point the writing is trying to get across.
