[Intro- Great Leader talks vocals: press meeting, playing audio recording:] " The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you. Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy coming through. You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be? You need people like me... so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, 'That's the bad guy '" . [Intro – Riffs up and down mini cinematic soft, distant guitar ] All that noise in my head somehow Fading when I tune it down I was chasing numbers, chasing proof Running every mile for a louder truth Every win still felt incomplete Like a drum with a missing beat Everybody yelling what success should be More lights, more likes, more currency But the silence started talking back When the signal slipped through the cracks I heard something under all the doubt A calm voice saying: slow it down You don’t gotta fight the crowd Just listen beneath the loud All this pressure in my chest Like the world inside a test But the moment that I let it go I could feel a different flow I found abundance in the quiet of the storm Not in everything I tried to perform Not in the spotlight, not in the crowd But the truth moving under the loud I found a rhythm that was already mine Not chasing gold, just chasing the light And every breath breaking through the cloud When I listen beneath the loud Used to think I needed more to belong More armor, more wins, more songs But the road kept proving me wrong Peace was there all along I’ve seen rich souls starving for air Seen lost hearts finding repair Life ain't counting what you store It’s the strength when you hit the floor Every setback left a spark Every dark just drew the mark Like a map hidden in the sound Showing where I’m standing now All the weight I used to hold Turned to lessons turning gold When I stopped trying to control Something opened in my soul I found abundance in the quiet of the storm Not in everything I tried to perform Not in the spotlight, not in the crowd But the truth moving under the loud I found a rhythm that was already mine Not chasing gold, just chasing the light And every breath breaking through the cloud When I listen beneath the loud Maybe the world ain’t empty Maybe it’s louder than truth Maybe the answers waiting Right underneath the noise we choose All this time I was searching outside While the signal was living inside Now the static finally clears somehow When I listen beneath the loud I found abundance in the quiet of the storm Not in the battles I was fighting before Not in the echoes of the crowd But the strength growing under the loud I found a rhythm I can finally trust Not in the pressure, not in the rush And every step breaking through the cloud When I listen beneath the loud [Outro – fading guitars ] Late night, highway rolling on Different feeling in the song World still loud all around But I finally hear the sound.
