Trust Me [NDC TT]

V6

[Intro – solitary Highland bagpipes, slow and mournful; long sustained drone, distant reverb; tension building] [Bagpipes swell — sudden full-band impact] [SCREAMED] TRUST ME! [Verse 1 – downtuned guitars, heavy bass, restrained drums; tense vocal] You said you never meant it You said I got it wrong You said I should remember The way we got along You looked me in the eyes Like nothing had gone bad You made me doubt the memory Of everything I had [Pre-Chorus – drums tighten, guitars build; vocal becoming increasingly agitated] You change the words You change the scene You tell me what I should have seen You swear it's all inside my head So tell me why I feel afraid? [Chorus – huge, rhythmic nu-metal groove; aggressive clean vocal with screamed accents] Trust me That's what you always say Trust me Then take it all away You smile like nothing happened You swear that I'm insane Trust me I won't make that mistake again [Post-Chorus – bagpipes briefly mirror the guitar riff; shouted] Trust me! Trust me! Trust me..! [Verse 2 – heavier riff, more rhythmic vocal] You know exactly where it hurts You know exactly what to say You keep a little piece of truth And throw the rest away You call it miscommunication You call it something small But every time I turn around There's another fucking wall [Pre-Chorus – increasingly frantic] You change the words You change the scene You tell me what I should have seen You swear it's all inside my head So tell me why I hear your voice when you're not there? [Chorus – bigger, harsher] Trust me That's what you always say Trust me Then take it all away You smile like nothing happened You swear that I'm insane Trust me I won't make that mistake again [Instrumental – bagpipes take the lead over crushing guitars; drums build from half-time into full groove] [Bridge – stripped back; bass pulse, distorted guitar harmonics, whispered vocal] Maybe you believe it Maybe you believe your lies Maybe every story Changes when you say it twice Maybe I'm the monster Maybe I'm the one to blame But if I'm so fucking broken Why do you keep saying my name? [Build – drums accelerating; bagpipes return, increasingly distorted/heavy] [BREAKDOWN – brutally slow, crushing downtuned guitars; sparse drums; bagpipes; shouted vocals] TRUST ME! (— I DON'T!) TRUST ME! (— I WON'T!) TRUST ME! (— NOT AGAIN!) You want my faith? You lost it! You want my silence? FORGET IT! [Breakdown continues – vocal/guitar call and response] You said — trust me! I said — NO! You said — trust me! I said — NO! [Final Chorus – full intensity; bagpipes soaring above guitars] Trust me That's what you always say Trust me Then take it all away You smile like nothing happened You swear that I'm insane Trust me I won't make that mistake again [Outro – band cuts; lone bagpipe drone remains, bleak and unresolved] [Bagpipe note fades] [End]
