[Intro: Filtered Synth Bass, Light Rhythm]
(Sixteen, sixteen, wide awake)
(Watch the strings break)
(Yeah, taking it back!)
[Verse 1]
Sixteen years of shadows held the frequency on low
Trading every pulse for quiet, watching all the rhythms go
You played me like a fiddle, kept me hidden in the dark
But a different kind of morning just ignited my spark
No more waiting in the venue, no more scripts I have to own
The club is full of people but I'm standing on my own
[Pre-Chorus: Massive Electronic Build]
I can feel the bassline rising up through the floor
I am stepping past the ghost and walking out the door
Watch me turn this dancefloor into power from the pain!
[Vocal Break: Solo Acapella]
Yeah!
[Beat Drop]
[Chorus: Euphoric Diva Belt]
Watch the fiddle shatter, hear the rhythm finally start! (Shatter!)
I'm reclaiming every minute, every beat inside this heart! (Every beat!)
No more hiding in the shadows of a beautiful lie
Watch the sixteen stolen years flash before your eyes
Yeah, the parallel tracks finally hit the highway tonight!
Leaving the night shift behind, stepping into the light!
[Post-Chorus: Rhythmic Vocal Loop]
(Sixteen, sixteen, wide awake!)
(I'm taking it back, taking it back, yeah)
(Sixteen, sixteen, wide awake!)
(Watch the strings break!)
[Verse 2]
The strobe is cutting through the air, electric and unkind
Shattering the quiet ghosts I left so far behind
I did what I always do, I gave the benefit of doubt
But the club is playing my track and the lights are blowing out
You never intended to show me off or take me out to see
But the music's turning up and I am setting myself free
[Bridge: High Intensity Vocal Build]
No more watering a hollow seed, begging for a crumb
Yeah, look at the survival, look at what I have become!
From the foster homes to the flashing strobe light
I am taking back my destiny tonight! (Tonight, yeah!)
[Chorus: Maximum Energy]
Watch the fiddle shatter, hear the rhythm finally start! (Shatter!)
I'm reclaiming every minute, every beat inside this heart! (Every beat!)
No more hiding in the shadows of a beautiful lie
Watch the sixteen stolen years flash before your eyes!
[Post-Chorus: Rhythmic Vocal Loop]
(Sixteen, sixteen, wide awake!)
(I'm taking it back, yeah)
[Outro: Smooth Electronic Fade]
Sixteen years... (Taking it back)
The fiddle is broken.
The strings are undone.
Wide awake in the sun.
(No more shadows)
Just the light... (Just the light)
[Fade Out]
[End]
