[Intro]
(Eerie, pitch-shifted carnival music, slow tempo, then builds rapidly with a ticking clock sound)
Got me dizzy on this carnival ride...I don’t want you anymore.
Get. Out. Of my head.
(Sound of a heavy, distorted, stuttering snare buildup)
[Verse]
(Glitchy, trap-influenced drums, ethereal synth background)
You’re just a clown, I’m leaving you behind,
I won't be manipulated, I'm done with all your lies.
The game you think you'll win, it’s just a sad illusion,
Turn out the lights—boom—I’m walking away from the confusion.
Don't even think about it, I have self-control,
You’re the only one out here... looking like a fool.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Bass drops out, vocals become airy and melodic)
Go wipe off your disguise, boy,
Go change your clothes...You're not who you said you were,
Not even close.
[Chorus]
(Heavy 808s, distorted screeching synths, frantic carnival melody)
Fool me once, shame on you!
Fool me twice, shame on me!
But you won’t get a third chance,
We are done, you’ll see!
(Drop intensifies)
[Drop]
It’s not love anymore...
Just a, just a, just a, ONE BIG MIND GAME.
Who’s ready to get off?
Just a, just a, just a, ONE BIG MIND GAME.
Who’s ready to get off?
[Verse]
(Tempo stays fast, melodic, less chaotic than the drop)
Modern dating is a rollercoaster, yeah,
Anxious before the ride, falling for the poster.
Butterflies during the drop, now I’m just feeling sick,
To my stomach, when it’s over, realized it was just a trick.
You try to pursue, you try to play,
But the mirror shows your true colors anyway.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Bass drops out, vocals become airy and melodic)
Go wipe off your disguise, boy,
Go change your clothes...
You're not who you said you were,
Not even close.
[Chorus]
(Heavy 808s, distorted screeching synths, frantic carnival melody)
Fool me once, shame on you!
Fool me twice, shame on me!
But you won’t get a third chance,
We are done, you’ll see!
(Drop intensifies)
[Drop]
It’s not love anymore...
Just a, just a, just a, ONE BIG MIND GAME.
Who’s ready to get off?
Just a, just a, just a, ONE BIG MIND GAME.
Who’s ready to get off?
[Bridge]
(Sub-bass, slow, melodic sadness, echoing female vocals, minor key)
The music stops... the tent is empty now.
I finally see you, without the makeup somehow.
I don't need the thrill, I don't need the fright.
I’m walking out... into the quiet light.
[Chorus]
(All elements combined, highest energy)
Fool me once, shame on you!
Fool me twice, shame on me!
But you won’t get a third chance,
We are done, you’ll see!
[Drop]
It’s not love anymore...
Just a, just a, just a, ONE BIG MIND GAME.
Who’s ready to get off?
Just a, just a, just a, ONE BIG MIND GAME.
Who’s ready to get off?
[Outro]
(Distorted, slowing down carnival melody, heavy glitching)
We are done.
(Dizzy...)
Out of my head.
(Gone...)
(Sound of a single, slow piano note)
(Siren sounds fade out)
