Fifteen Years (Still Loud)

[Intro (Instrumental – 8 Takte)]
(Palm mutes → Full band drop)

[Verse 1]
No rules, no sleep, no second chance
Concrete nights, we learned to stand
Cheap boards, loud hearts, fucked-up plans
Laughing while the world collapsed
New faces every other week
Same damn streets, same old dreams
Didn’t know what mattered yet
Didn’t know who we would be

[Pre-Chorus]
We were running on nothing
But nothing felt so real
Too young to be careful
Too dumb to ever kneel

[CHORUS A – Melodic / Main Hook]
(Lead vocal, offen)
We were young, fucked up, feeling alive
Burning nights just to kill the time
First love cut deep, yeah it left a mark
But it taught my heart how to spark
Fifteen years gone, I’m still that kid
Every broken piece still fits
I am who I am because of this
Yeah, my life started like this

[CHORUS B – Gang Vocals / Shout]
(Kurz, roh, alle schreien)
WE WERE YOUNG!
(We were young!)
WE WERE LOUD!
(We were loud!)
BROKEN HEARTS!
(Broken hearts!)
NO WAY OUT!
FALL DOWN!
(Get back up!)
SCARS PROUD!
(Scars proud!)


[Verse 2]
Kickflips, bruises, parking lots
Stolen beer, stolen thoughts
Smoke in the air, ringing ears
Didn’t give a fuck about fear
Every night felt like escape
Every mistake a hand grenade
We said “forever” way too fast
Never thought about the crash

[Pre-Chorus]
We were chasing reactions
Not a place to land
If I never lost control
I’d never understand

[CHORUS A – Melodic]
We were young, fucked up, feeling alive
Middle fingers up to time
First love burned, first tears fell
But it saved me from myself
Fifteen years gone, I’m still that kid
Still screaming songs we never quit
I am who I am because of this
Yeah, my life started like this

[CHORUS B – Gang Vocals]
WE WERE YOUNG!
(We were young!)
WE WERE LOUD!
(We were loud!)
FUCKED UP DREAMS!
(Shout it out!)
FALL DOWN!
(Get back up!)
STAND PROUD!
(Stand proud!)

[Bridge – Half Time / Aggressive]
(Sum 41 Style, düsterer Groove)
First heartbreak, first real pain
Lying to myself, going insane
Thought that love was weakness
Turns out it’s what remains
Lost some friends, lost some nights
Lost my way just to find my spine
If I never hit that bottom
I’d never climb

[Breakdown – Gang Vocals (Call & Response)]
(Drums + Bass, Publikum)
HEY!
(HEY!)
WE!
(WE!)
DON’T!
(DON’T!)
REGRET!
(REGRET!)
HEY!
(HEY!)
THIS!
(THIS!)
IS!
(IS!)
US!
(US!)

[FINAL DOUBLE CHORUS]
Chorus A – Biggest, breiteste Version
We were young, fucked up, feeling alive
Scars on our hearts, fire in our eyes
Every bad choice led me here
I wouldn’t trade a single year
Fifteen years gone, I still believe
In the kids we used to be
I am who I am because of this
And I’m not done screaming yet

[Chorus B – FINAL GANG VOCALS (x2
WE WERE YOUNG!
(We were young!)
STILL LOUD!
(Still loud!)
BROKEN THEN!
(BROKEN THEN!)
STRONGER NOW!
FALL DOWN!
(GET BACK UP!)
SCARS PROUD!
(SCARS PROUD!)
THIS IS US!
(THIS IS US!)

[Outro (Instrumente ausdünnen → letzter Schlag)]
Yeah, fifteen years later
Still loud
Still here
