# UNDER PRESSURE [Intro – Instrumental only] [Heavy down-tuned guitar riff, mechanical industrial beat, distorted bass, electronic glitches, rising tension] [Verse 1 – VOICE A ONLY: Deep male baritone rapper, aggressive rhythmic delivery, dry nasal tone, sharp consonants, no melodic singing] Six in the morning, red marks on the page Another little target, another little cage They say "keep it moving", I say "I'm trying" But the smile in the mirror gets harder to find Every win has a price and a deadline attached Every scar gets a label, every flaw gets tracked You can measure my hours, you can number my days But you don't get to tell me what I'm worth anyway [Pre-Chorus – VOICE B ONLY: Higher raspy male tenor, emotional melodic singing, building anger] Underneath the calm, I hear the sound Every little crack is getting loud There's a limit you refuse to see I'm more than what you made of me! [Chorus – VOICE B ONLY: Explosive gritty melodic rock vocals, massive distorted guitars, powerful sustained notes] I'M NOT YOUR PERFECT MACHINE! YOU CAN'T REPLACE WHAT'S LEFT OF ME! KEEP YOUR CROWN, KEEP YOUR CONTROL I WON'T GIVE YOU MY HEART AND SOUL! PUSH ME HARD, WATCH THE SPARKS FLY! I'M STILL HERE ON THE OTHER SIDE! I'M NOT YOUR PERFECT MACHINE! YOU DON'T GET TO SPEAK FOR ME! [Post-Chorus – Instrumental] [Heavy syncopated guitar riff, turntable scratches, pounding drums] [Verse 2 – VOICE A ONLY: Faster aggressive rap, increasingly frustrated delivery, no melodic singing] New rules, same room, another moving line Every time I reach it, you redraw the sign I keep running in circles, chasing something I can't see While everybody's busy telling me who I should be Got a head full of noise and a chest full of doubt A thousand things to say but I can't get them out I learned to stay quiet, learned to swallow the blame Till I looked in the mirror and forgot my own name [Pre-Chorus – VOICE B ONLY: Raspy emotional singing, increasing intensity] Underneath the calm, I hear the sound Every little crack is getting loud There's a limit you refuse to see I'm more than what you made of me! [Chorus – VOICE B ONLY: Huge melodic rock vocals, explosive emotional delivery] I'M NOT YOUR PERFECT MACHINE! YOU CAN'T REPLACE WHAT'S LEFT OF ME! KEEP YOUR CROWN, KEEP YOUR CONTROL I WON'T GIVE YOU MY HEART AND SOUL! PUSH ME HARD, WATCH THE SPARKS FLY! I'M STILL HERE ON THE OTHER SIDE! I'M NOT YOUR PERFECT MACHINE! YOU DON'T GET TO SPEAK FOR ME! [Bridge – Music cuts to distorted bass, industrial heartbeat and electronic static] [VOICE A ONLY – Low whispered rhythmic rap, gradually increasing aggression] Write it on the wall How high I have to climb Raise the bar again Then ask me why I'm tired Every single promise Every little lie You kept moving the finish line And called it falling behind [VOICE B ONLY – Raw explosive emotional screaming] I WON'T BEND! I WON'T BREAK! JUST TO FIT THE SHAPE YOU MADE! [VOICE A – Aggressive shouted rap] Another demand! Another mistake! [VOICE B – Full desperate scream] I'VE HAD ALL I CAN TAKE! [Breakdown – Instrumental only] [Crushing distorted guitars, stop-start rhythmic drums, massive bass drop, turntable scratches] [Final Chorus – VOICE B ONLY: Huge soaring melodic vocals, emotional intensity, layered harmonies, heavy guitars] I'M NOT YOUR PERFECT MACHINE! YOU CAN'T REPLACE WHAT'S LEFT OF ME! KEEP YOUR CROWN, KEEP YOUR CONTROL I WON'T GIVE YOU MY HEART AND SOUL! PUSH ME HARD, WATCH THE SPARKS FLY! I'M STILL HERE ON THE OTHER SIDE! I'M NOT YOUR PERFECT MACHINE! YOU DON'T GET TO SPEAK FOR ME! [Outro – Distorted guitar slowly fades, industrial electronic pulse continues] [VOICE A – Low spoken whisper] You wanted perfection... [VOICE B – Quiet raspy melodic singing] But you never wanted me... [End – Sudden silence]
