[Intro — distant clean vocal, washed in reverb]
Static in the bloodstream
Violet in the dark
I can feel the signal waking
Like a fire beneath my heart
A thousand eyes behind the glass
Waiting for the world to start
So turn the noise into a weapon
Turn the silence into sparks
[Verse 1 — haunting clean]
I’ve been living where the shadows
Bleed into the neon light
Every failure left a fracture
Every fracture let me fight
There’s a ghost inside the feedback
There’s a pulse beneath the floor
I don’t need another reason
I’ve been here before
[Pre-Chorus — building clean vocal]
If the whole thing falls apart
I’ll build it louder from the wreckage
If the darkness wants my name
It better learn how to pronounce it
[Chorus — huge melodic clean vocal]
So light it up
Let the violet burn through everything
I came alive
Somewhere between the noise and suffering
No looking down
No second chance
No counterfeit
You can be good…
Or be good at it
[Post-Chorus — screamed]
BE GOOD AT IT
[Break — electronic pulse / glitch vocal]
Signal
Pressure
Static
Ignition
Signal
Pressure
Static
SCHWING
[Verse 2 — clean into screamed phrases]
Everybody wants the spotlight
Till the spotlight shows the scars
Everybody wants the ending
Without earning where they are
[Scream]
I PAID IN BLOOD
I PAID IN TIME
[Clean]
For every inch that I could call mine
[Scream]
SO CUT THE FEED
AND KILL THE LIGHTS
I’LL STILL BE BURNING ON THE OTHER SIDE
[Pre-Breakdown — whispered / distorted]
You hear that?
That’s not static.
That’s the sound of something coming.
[Breakdown — low growl]
I DON’T NEED YOUR PERMISSION
I DON’T NEED YOUR PRAISE
I BUILT A HOME INSIDE THE CHAOS
AND I SET THAT SHIT ABLAZE
[Half-time breakdown]
NO CROWN
NO THRONE
NO SAVIOR
NO QUIT
BE GOOD
OR BE GOOD AT IT
[Shoegaze bridge — dreamy clean vocal]
And when the screen goes black
And all the voices fade
Will you remember what you saw
Or only how it made you feel?
Purple fire in the rearview
Smoke dissolving into stars
Maybe we were never broken
Maybe we were built this hard
[Final Chorus — enormous clean + screamed backing vocals]
So light it up
Let the violet burn through everything
I came alive
Somewhere between the noise and suffering
No looking down
No second chance
No counterfeit
You can be good…
[Screamed backing]
BE GOOD
[Clean]
You can be good…
[Full band stop]
[Growl]
OR BE GOOD AT IT
[Outro — distant clean vocal]
Static in the bloodstream
Violet in the dark
The signal never died
It was waiting for the spark.
