[Intro-A feedback loop that turns into a slow, detuned, swinging riff in \bm{C\#} standard]
[Verse 1 - Low, whispered vocals, AIC-style layered moans]
The dollar’s a ghost, haunting the shelf
My neighbor’s a mirror, but he hates himself
He’s staring through the blinds, checking for a threat
While the kings in the counting house are placing their bet
On which side of the fence will be the first to break
I’m just sipping on the poison, I love the way it tastes.
[Pre-Chorus - bass-driven groove, build-up]
Everything is broken, everything is "us or them"
The world is a fever, I’m the phlegm
Build the bomb! Feed the fear!
The end of the world is finally here!
[Chorus - High energy, harmonies, huge "Nirvana" fuzz]
I’m glowing in the dark of a total collapse
Mind is in the clouds while the logic snaps
They’re fighting over scraps in a golden cage
I’m the only happy soul on a burning stage
The sky is falling, let it hit the floor
I’ve never felt more alive than in the middle of a war!
[Verse 2 - Grungy and dissonant, "ugly" chords]
Another proxy war, another empty plate
The TV’s a furnace, fueling the hate
Why do we kill for a line on a map?
When the man at the top is just setting the trap?
My brother is my enemy? That’s a lie for the weak
I’m finding the beauty while the future is bleak.
[Bridge - Metalcore "Panic" Section: Fast, chaotic, then a crushing breakdown]
[Dissonant screeching guitars]
DON'T LOOK AWAY!
DIVIDE!
MULTIPLY THE MISERY!
[Slow, sludge-metalcore breakdown - 50 BPM feel]
They want you angry!
They want you blind!
LOVE IS REVOLUTION.
KINDNESS IS THE WEAPON.
[High pitched scream]
TEAR DOWN THE WALL!
[Guitar Solo - Messy, "In Utero" style anti-solo, lots of noise and slides]
[Chorus - Final explosion]
I’m glowing in the dark of a total collapse
Mind is in the clouds while the logic snaps
They’re fighting over scraps in a golden cage
I’m the only happy soul on a burning stage!
[Outro - Slow, dragging, AIC-style vocal "Oohs" and "Ahhs"]
It’s all coming down...
[Chug, chug, stop]
But I’m feeling fine...
[Chug, chug, stop]
Hug your enemy...
Before we run out of time.
[Feedback fades into a single, clean acoustic note]
[Musical interlude- heavy djent and drop tuned bass]
Atlantica
