Don't Believe What They Say by fatherjack - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro]

[Instrumental: Funky disco bassline slowed and detuned]

[Instrumental: Distorted sludge guitar scraping underneath]

[Instrumental: Heavy kick and muted hi-hats, looping]

[Verse 1]

[Voice: Lead, half-spoken]

I don’t watch the screens anymore

I don’t trust the words they pour

Anchors lying with a smile

Same old script, different pile

[Break]

[Instrumental: Extended groove]

[Instrumental: Bass repeats one note, guitar feedback swells]

[Instrumental: Drums drop out and slam back in]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Voice: Low chant]

They sell it clean

They sell it neat

But I know better

I know the trick

[Chorus]

[Hook]

[Catchy Hook]

[Voice: Lead, hypnotic]

I don’t believe what they say

But I believe what I find

Every link another sign

Every shadow speaks my mind

[Break]

[Instrumental: Long sludge riff, disco bass still pumping]

[Instrumental: Wah guitar drowned in distortion]

[Instrumental: Drums lock into mechanical loop]

[Verse 2]

[Voice: Lead]

Late at night, glowing screen

Thread by thread, in-between

Anonymous prophets preach

Every truth just out of reach

[Interlude]

[Instrumental: Beats only, filtered and compressed]

[Instrumental: Sub-bass pulsing like a heartbeat]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Voice: Echoed]

They tell me think

They tell me wait

But the truth won’t circulate

[Chorus]

[Refrain]

[Voice: Lead + distant backing]

I don’t believe what they say

But I believe what I read

Every warning every thread

Feels like proof inside my head

[Break]

[Percussion Break]

[Instrumental: Drum loop stretched and distorted]

[Instrumental: Guitar noise scraping rhythmically]

[Bridge]

[Voice: Spoken, monotone]

Everyone’s lying

Except the ones who agree with me

[Instrumental]

[Instrumental: Long, oppressive section]

[Instrumental: Sludge riffs slow and repetitive]

[Instrumental: Disco bass never stops]

[Instrumental: Noise layers rise and fall]

[Verse 3]

[Voice: Lead]

I reject the polished lie

But I swallow something worse

Trading doubt for certainty

Trading sense for something cursed

[Chorus]

[Catchy Hook]

[Voice: Lead, strained]

I don’t believe what they say

But I believe every claim

If it sounds forbidden enough

It must be playing the real game

[Big Finish]

[Instrumental: All elements at maximum weight]

[Instrumental: Bass, drums, and guitar locked in one brutal loop]

[Outro]

[Voice: Lead, fading]

I don’t trust the news…

I trust the noise…

[Fade Out]

[Instrumental: Groove collapses into distortion and hum]
