"Drawcia Soul" is composed in E♭ minor, and runs at a very fast tempo of about 185 beats per minute. It is based on its sister theme, "Drawcia Sorceress" but, in contrast to it, is generally atonal and dissonant, with little in the way of discernible melodies at first, instead focusing on erratic chord stabs and fast-paced drums. | |||
It starts with a distorted version of the intro of "Drawcia Sorceress", and immediately goes to its first section, featuring a frenetic array of notes that repeats over the course of many bars with very little variance, mostly just going fully up or down in pitch, as a wild percussion pattern plays constantly. After a couple bars, the percussion goes almost completely silent, until it eventually goes fully silent, as the song prepares to switch to its second and last section. This section, in contrast to the first, features an audible melody based on "Drawcia Sorceress", but it keeps the frenetic style of the piece. The first eight bars of this section feature a melody the most, while the four bars afterwards also have an audible melody but are more frenetic, and finally the last four bars are the most frenetic of the whole piece, having an extremely fast array of notes. The song then loops, back to the intro, although a shorter version of it. | |||

*The use of the theme as a rest area song in ''Kirby Star Allies'' confused the composer of the song, Jun Ishikawa, as it's a final boss theme. Director [[Shinya Kumazaki]] explained that he chose the song to fill that role because he "didn't want to let people relax", since it plays in the hardest mode of the game. He also mentioned that he considers the song "the one that shows Mr. Ishikawa’s secret creativity the most", and he had been looking for opportunities to use it.<ref>[https://kaialone.tumblr.com/post/182832196155/kirby-star-allies-translation-sound-staff Translation of the preview of the "Sound Staff Round-table Discussion"]</ref> | *The use of the theme as a rest area song in ''Kirby Star Allies'' confused the composer of the song, Jun Ishikawa, as it's a final boss theme.
