energy

[Intro](Sound of a heavy, metallic club door opening. The bass hits like a physical wallop. A glitchy, pitch-shifted voice starts laughing hysterically, chopping into an unhinged stutter.)Vocal FX: E-e-energy… system failure… machine online…(Frantic breakbeat kicks in out of nowhere, running at a breakneck pace)Left the house at ten, now it’s half past three,Why did anyone agree to let me have a third VB?[Verse 1]Stumbling through the neon, eyes crossed, brain fried,Pretty sure my lower lumbar region just died.Sweat dripping off my brow, sticking to my shirt,Took a step to bust a move and put my hamstring in the dirt.The floor is moving backwards, the strobe is making me blind,I’m a dial-up modem in a quantum-state mind.Mates are in the mosh pit, standard weekend drill,While I’m looking for a corner just to swallow an Advil.[Pre-Chorus](Beat drops out into a tense, sub-bass hum. Glitchy synths begin to swarm like digital hornets.)My joints are clicking louder than the goddamn snare,Ripped my good jeans and I don’t even care.A twenty-something kid looks at me with pure fright,As I grip the sticky bar rail and hold on for dear life.[Chorus](The drop hits: Heavy, distorted bass tearing through frantic, chopped-up breakbeats)[VOCAL SAMPLE - PITCHED DOWN]: YOU’RE RIGHT, OLD FELLA!Nah, I’m bloody not!Stuck inside a simulation, everything is hot![VOCAL SAMPLE - SCREAMED]: NEED EXTRA ENERGY!Pushing through the pain!Got a mortgage and a bad knee, but I’m going mental in the rain!(Chaotic electronic stutter: E-e-energy… old fella… rise of the machine…)[Verse 2](The breakbeats get faster and more chaotic, introducing harsh industrial synth stabs)Ears ringing like a fire alarm, vision spinning round,My body’s telling me to lay flat on the filthy ground.Some bloke in a bucket hat is offering me a sip,I’m just trying not to dislocate my artificial hip.Stubborn Aussie spirit, no, I’m never backing down,I’m the oldest, tightest, sweatiest wreck in this whole town.Neon halos burning holes right into my skull,This night is completely wild, but it’s never, ever dull.[Bridge](Music slows down into a heavy, ominous industrial march. Heavy breathing and heartbeat FX loop in the background.)Is the world rendering? Or is it just the booze?Too old for the club scene, got too much to lose.But the ghost is in the signal, the bass is in my chest,I’ll drain my final cells, tonight I’m passing the test.(Rising riser effect, building to an unbearable, glitching peak)Three, two, one… DISCHARGE.[Guitar Solo / Synth Breakdown](A chaotic, heavily distorted blues-rock guitar riff enters, chopped up and blended violently with frantic electronic breakbeats and screaming synths)[Chorus](The final, most unhinged drop of the song)[VOCAL SAMPLE]: YOU’RE RIGHT, OLD FELLA!Nah, I’m bloody not!Stuck inside a simulation, everything is hot![VOCAL SAMPLE]: MAXIMUM ENERGY!Pushing through the pain!Got a mortgage and a bad knee, but I’m going mental in the rainNarrator (In a completely exhausted, hoarse whisper): Ah, stone the crows… where’s the nearest kebab shop? I've got zero juice left.(One final, stray distorted bass thud cuts the track dead)
