Redline Lift

⸻

Title: Redline

(Intro – clean guitar in 7/8, mechanical pulse)

Maintain climb

Maintain climb

Throttle set

Never idle

⸻

(Verse 1 – angular, syncopated)

Full burn

No drift

Skyline stitched

With my lift

Fuel to pride

Gauge to nerve

If I’m slow

I lose my nerve

Runway shrinking

In review

Ground is something

Others do

⸻

(Pre-Chorus – meter shift, tension builds)

Altitude

Is proof of breath

Descent feels

Close to death

Say it

Say it

Stay above

Call it drive

Call it love

⸻

(Chorus – locks into heavy 4/4 but lyrics resist grounding)

Climb

Climb

Climb

Redline pulse

In my spine

No descent

No decline

If I land

Who am I

⸻

(Verse 2 – more percussive phrasing)

Artificial horizon steady

Cockpit calm

But hands unready

Every warning light I mute

Every doubt

I prosecute

Orbit dressed

As forward motion

Gravity

Is just emotion

⸻

(Pre-Chorus 2 – shorter, tighter)

Throttle wide

Never yield

Burn the gear

Before I feel

⸻

(Final Chorus – musical landing, lyrical surrender)

Climb

Climb

Climb

…then break.

I can descend

And still remain

I can reduce

Without restraint

Not every lift

Means I’m alive

Some returns

Let me survive
