[Intro | bass-and-drum groove establishes the rolling pocket, gritty electric guitar simmering above it, narrow analog image] [Verse 1 | rounded bass pulse, dry full drums, sparse gritty guitar, low tense vocal, slight behind-the-beat drag] Air sticks heavy like a second skin Windows wide open but the fire creeps in Neon’s melting, and the streets don’t sleep Every shadow’s burning, every secret’s deep [Chorus | guitars widen and gain weight, drums hit harder, bass keeps the same rolling pulse, vocal opens into stronger melodic force] Summer heat, crawling under my veins Turns quiet nights into dangerous flames Every heartbeat pounds, no place to hide Summer heat, it’s burning me alive [Verse 2 | return to the bass-led pocket, guitar simmering around the vocal, drums steady and physical] Sweat drips slow on a midnight street Every step feels like the ground’s beneath No breeze coming, just a choking sky Even silence feels like it wants to fry [Chorus | wider guitars, harder drums, same underlying groove] Summer heat, crawling under my veins Turns quiet nights into dangerous flames Every heartbeat pounds, no place to hide Summer heat, it’s burning me alive [Instrumental Bridge | full bass-and-drum groove continues underneath one exposed electric guitar hovering above the rhythm section, sparse sustained notes, no extra guitar layering, tension held] [Bridge | guitar rejoins the band gradually, rhythm section remains heavy and rolling, vocal grows more forceful toward the final line] It don’t cool down, it don’t let go It’s a fever that everybody knows But I’ll walk through fire till the break of day Let the flames take the fear away [Final Chorus | fullest guitar width, strong drums, bass groove unchanged underneath, vocal at maximum force without losing the pocket] Summer heat, crawling under my veins Turns quiet nights into dangerous flames Every heartbeat pounds, no place to hide Summer heat, it’s burning me alive Burning me alive — burning me alive [Outro | bass and drums resolve with the band, short guitar tail, clear final stop] [end]
