Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Hold my breath Till my head hums red Every second Like a boot on my chest I keep laughing At the wrong damn time Turn the volume up Just to drown out my mind [Chorus] Under pressure I’m cracking at the edges Under pressure My heartbeat’s learning vengeance Under pressure It’s barking in my ribs Won’t let up Under pressure I say I’m fine but I’m fed up [Verse 2] Sleep like stone Dreams grind like gears Every little thought Is yelling in my ears I keep pacing Round the same old doubts If I open my mouth It’ll all spill out (hey!) [Chorus] Under pressure I’m cracking at the edges Under pressure My heartbeat’s learning vengeance Under pressure It’s barking in my ribs Won’t let up Under pressure I say I’m fine but I’m fed up [Bridge] I taste iron on my tongue Words too sharp to say If this weight is what I’m made of Will it crush or will it shape me? (oh) [Chorus] Under pressure I’m cracking at the edges Under pressure My heartbeat’s learning vengeance Under pressure It’s barking in my ribs Won’t let up Under pressure I say I’m fine but I’m fed up
Tags
pop, Crunchy alt-indie / alt-pop with male vocals, extreme sub-heavy bass and a blown-out old-mic texture. Dry, intimate verses over a simple, pulsing low end and washed-out guitars; choruses explode with distorted bass hits, doubled vocals, and slapback echo. Subtle synth swells in the bridge, then everything drops back to vocal and bass for a tense, clipped ending.
