[INTRO / CHORUS 1 — female vocals, playful 16-bit / old Gameboy synth] [Almost no guitars. Simple electronic kick, coin/game FX, naïve melody.] Red square. Blue square. One foot here. One foot there. One step back Don’t touch black. One, Blue. Red. Two. Don’t look behind you..... JUMP! [BREAKDOWN 1 — massive metalcore drop] [Heavy chugs, double kick, 16-bit melody continues underneath and gets crushed by guitars.] GWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! [VERSE 1 — female rap vocals, syncopated groove] Ground is good. Ground is good. You see the gap? YOU DON’T SEE THE GAP? ... “Too bad.” ... Jump. Jump. JUMP! JUMP! Time to grow up ! Jump. Jump. JUMP! JUMP! Time to grow up ! [Breakdown] [Beat switches tighter. Short electronic stabs between words.] MOVE. SPEAK. KISS. SIGN. VOTE. QUIT. [PRE-CHORUS — rising tension, chugs + 16-bit arpeggio] Same. It’s all the same. One leap of faith. (JUMP !) [CHORUS 2 — female vocals + children vocals + full band] [Same melody as intro. Bigger drums. Crowd can shout the last word of each block.] Red square. Blue square. One foot here. One foot there. One step back Don’t touch black. One, Blue. Red. Two. Don’t look behind you..... JUMP! [POST-CHORUS — screamed vocals, crowd chants] LEAP OF FAITH! Different stakes. Different fate. LEAP OF FAITH! LEAP OF FAITH! Some get a hand. Some get a rope. Some get applause. Some just get: “GO.” GO! GO! GO! GO! GO! [INSTRUMENTAL TRANSITION] [Lead guitar atmosphere over war drums. 16-bit theme faintly returns.] [VERSE 2 — deep spoken vocal, minimal electronic pulse] A whole future fits through a rectangle this WIDE ! [BREAKDOWN 1 — massive metalcore drop] [Heavy chugs, double kick, 16-bit melody continues underneath and gets crushed by guitars.] [DnB beat enters suddenly.] [Break, Glitch] [FAST RAP SCREAMS — dry, rapid-fire] Backup plan. Backup plan. Backup backup backup plan. Backup plan. Backup plan. Backup backup backup plan. One lands badly — suicide. One lands well — MASTERMIND. [Flow accelerates.] [Drop] [VERSE 1B — sparse beat, stop/start delivery] Some jump. Some don’t. Some jump. Some don’t. Some jump. Some don’t. Some jump. Some don’t— And you ? ... JUMP ! [Drop] [CHORUS 3 — children vocals, fast DnB version] [Same melody and lyrics, but faster. Chiptune lead doubled by distorted guitar.] Red square. Blue square. One foot here. One foot there. One step back Don’t touch black. One, Blue. Red. Two. Don’t look behind you. JUMP! [POST-CHORUS — screamed vocals, crowd chants] LEAP OF FAITH! Different stakes. Different fate. LEAP OF FAITH! LEAP OF FAITH ! [GLITCH BREAKDOWN — DnB + metal + corrupted Gameboy FX] “Send...” “Quit...” “Vote...” “Move...” “Kiss...” “Sign...” “Choose...” “Choose...” “Choose...” ERROR. ERROR ERROR. [Hard cut. Absolute silence.] “Jump.” [CALL & RESPONSE — stomps, claps, crowd participation] HOW FAR?! — DEPENDS! HOW HIGH?! — DEPENDS! SAFE TO JUMP?! — DEPENDS! WHAT’S BELOW?! — DEPENDS! LEAP OF FAITH?! YES ! [Silence] JUMP ! [FINAL BREAKDOWN — huge metalcore / nu-metal drop] [Chugs, blast of DnB, distorted 16-bit theme. Crowd shouting HEY between hits.] [FINAL CHORUS — female vocals + children + crowd + screamed backing vocals] [Everything together. The childish chorus is now massive and violent.] RED SQUARE! BLUE SQUARE! ONE FOOT HERE ! ONE FOOT THERE! SQUARE TO SQUARE ONE, BLUE RED, TWO ! DON’T LOOK BEHIND YOU! JUUUUUUUMP! [POST-CHORUS — massive half-time] JUMP! JUMP! JUMP! LEAP OF FAITH! ... [Everything stops except a tiny 16-bit tone, ironic vocals.] [VERSE 1B — sparse beat, stop/start delivery] Three dots. No dots. Three dots. SEND ... You're done ... ? Than Jump. *blop* Oops... hihi ... Too late. [OUTRO — distant children vocals, broken Gameboy sound] Red square. Blue square. [Game over sound ends]
