Whiteout

[Intro — filtered radio / distant] Hey! Turn it up— Turn it up— Here we go! [Drums slam in] [Verse 1] Wake up, throw the curtains wide Blue sky calling from the mountainside Board on my back, headphones loud First one up and above the clouds No map, no plan, no slowing down Fresh tracks cutting through this town Cold air burning inside my lungs We don’t need forever— We’re forever young [Pre-Chorus] Three— Two— One— DROP! [Chorus] WE’RE GONNA RIDE! Till the whole world disappears Leave it all behind! We got nothing left to fear Hands up— Head down— Catch me if you can! Whiteout! Whiteout! Here we go again! [Instrumental — distorted guitar + breakbeat] [Verse 2] Radio buzzing, another run Halfway down and we’re chasing the sun Ice on my jacket, snow in my eyes Laughing while we’re falling out of the sky Rail to rail, edge to edge One more second hanging off the ledge Everybody says that we’re insane Maybe they’re right— LET’S DO IT AGAIN! [Pre-Chorus] Three— Two— One— GO! [Chorus] WE’RE GONNA RIDE! Till the whole world disappears Leave it all behind! We got nothing left to fear Hands up— Head down— Catch me if you can! Whiteout! Whiteout! Here we go again! [Post-Chorus — gang vocals] HEY! HEY! Never coming down! HEY! HEY! Take another round! HEY! HEY! Mountain shaking underneath— GO! [Instrumental Break — fast breakbeat / turntable scratches / pop-punk guitar] [Build] Faster— Faster— FASTER— [Launch] [BIG AIR — music dynamically drops away] [Drums and bass suddenly filter out] [Huge stereo reverb] [Distant guitar feedback] [Airy rushing wind] [Reversed vocal fragments] Whoa-oh-ohhhhh… [APEX — suspended, weightless] I can’t hear the ground… I can’t see the crowd… Just the sky— Just the sun— Just this moment— [brief silence] [DESCENT — filter gradually opens] COMING DOWN! [LANDING — enormous full-band impact] BOOM! [Final Chorus — double energy] WE’RE GONNA RIDE! Till the whole world disappears Leave it all behind! We got nothing left to fear Hands up! Head down! Catch me if you can! Whiteout! Whiteout! HERE WE GO AGAIN! WE’RE GONNA RIDE! Let the mountain know we’re here Turn the whole thing up! Till it’s ringing in our ears One life! One run! Give me everything you got! Whiteout! Whiteout! WE AIN’T GONNA STOP! [Outro — downhill acceleration] [Gang vocals] GO! GO! GO! GO! [Breakbeat accelerates] [Snowboard carving sounds] [Wind increases] WHITEOUT! [Hard stop]
