[0:00 - Intro - Glitch R&B - 0:16]
(Filtered vinyl, F#m - C#m - D - E, whispered, pitched down)
Normal... normal... nor-nor-normal...
(What is it?)
[0:16 - Verse 1 - R&B / Techno House - half-time feel]
Silk robe at noon, coffee getting cold,
Scrolling through the perfect lives they sold.
Smile right, dress tight, be polite, be small,
I tried the script, I tripped through it all.
Lipstick on a crack in the mirror light,
They say "be yourself" but be just like...
[0:31 - Pre-Chorus - Trance Build]
And I hear the ticking in my brain,
Like a metronome gone insane,
Everybody marching in a line,
I keep dancing out of time.
[0:45 - CHORUS / ANTHEM DROP - Trance x House]
(Full supersaw, 200 BPM four-on-floor, vocal belt + harmonies)
WHO REALLY KNOWS WHAT NORMAL IS? CAUSE I DON'T!
I don't, I don't, I don't, I-I-don't!
Cut my hair, dyed it back, lost myself just to be found,
Spinning out, spinning up, feet don't touch the ground!
WHO REALLY KNOWS WHAT NORMAL IS? CAUSE I DON'T!
If normal is numb then I won't, I won't!
[1:15 - Glitch Hop Breakdown]
(Beat switch - half-time 100 feel, wobble bass, vocal chops)
Nor-nor-normal -n-n-normal
System glitch in a pretty doll,
Error 404 in my soul,
Maybe broken is beautiful?
[1:30 - Verse 2 - Dark R&B]
Doctor says, baby says, mama says "calm down"
Too much, too loud, too soft, too proud.
I laugh too hard at my own pain,
Cry dancing in the summer rain.
Is it me? Is it you? Is it all pretend?
Who wrote the rules? Where does it end?
[1:45 - Build 2 - Risers + Trance Arp]
I hear the ticking in my brain (ticking in my brain)
Everybody marching in a line (leave me out the line!)
[2:00 - DUBSTEP DROP]
(Vocal: "Cause I don't!" pitched and stretched, F# growl bass)
WHO REALLY KNOWS - KNOWS - KNOWS
Cause I-I-I don't!
(Bass growl: BWAH - wub-wub - BWAH)
[2:15 - HARDCORE FINAL DROP - 200 BPM Gabber]
(Distorted hardcore kick, trance lead screaming over it)
WHO REALLY KNOWS WHAT NORMAL IS? CAUSE I DON'T!
I DON'T! I DON'T! I DON'T!
LET ME BE THE WEIRD, THE WILD, THE FREE!
NORMAL NEVER MADE A SPACE FOR ME!
[Outro - R&B whisper over trance pad fade]
So if you see me spinning, out of time...
Good.
Maybe normal was the lie
(Repeat music ad-lib lyrics dubstep drops 2x)
[OUTRO - 2:45 to 3:30]
(Key: F# minor | BPM stays 200 but drums pull to half-time 100)

[2:45 - Hardcore Cut - Just Heartbeat + Vocal]
(All drums cut, just filtered F# sub and your breath)
(whispered, close mic, a little broken)
So maybe... I don't wanna know.
[2:52 - Glitch Lullaby]
(Glitch hop drums - soft crackle kick, vinyl, vocal chops echoing the chorus)
Nor-mal... nor-mal...
Fading photographs on my wall...
If I'm not... what you call...
Then I'm free to... be all...
[3:05 - Trance Angel Outro]
(Lush F#m - D - A - E supersaw pads swell, distant 4-on-floor kick like a heartbeat getting quieter)
(full voice, airy belt, with heavy reverb + delay throw)
Who really knows what normal is?
Cause I don't... (I don't)
And I finally love that part.
[3:20 - Final Glitch ]
