... What I think is that the ends got cut off because, when editing, the track was at max digital volume. Then, they inserted that discentering (with infrasound) and, when the track got exported, that cut off the bottom ends that were clipping.
You could generate an infrasound track (say 2Hz sine wave),
mix it with the vocal, then apply rectifier, so the clipping will fade in/out/in/out.

add infrasound, then recitfy.gif

(Personal I think I already nailed it here, without adding infrasound, but I'm biased).
