HYPERBOLE ⸻ [INTRO – O FORTUNA CHOIR BUILD | NO DRUMS] (soft choir, distant) O… HYPERBOLE… VOX IN TENEBRIS (voice in the darkness) FATUM MOVET OMNIA (fate moves all things) NON EST SILENTIUM (there is no silence) CAELUM TREMIT (the sky trembles) HYPERBOLE… HYPERBOLE… HYPERBOLE… FATUM LOQUITUR (fate speaks) EX TENEBRIS AD LUCEM (from darkness to light) HYPERBOLE… HYPERBOLE… ⸻ [DROP] (HARD CUT → 808 + drums) ⸻ [CHORUS – POST DROP] HYPERBOLE! HYPERBOLE! HYPERBOLE! I say it like I mean it all If it shakes the sky, let it fall This ain’t exaggeration—it’s my call This is what it sounds like when I give it my all HYPERBOLE! HYPERBOLE! They say “calm it down” I say “watch it overflow” If it’s too much, let it show This is just how I grow HYPERBOLE! HYPERBOLE! HYPERBOLE! ⸻ [VERSE 1] I don’t talk normal, I talk in waves and warning signs Every sentence overglowin’ like it crossed the borderline They say “slow it down,” I say “you ain’t inside my mind” You can’t measure thunder with a ruler made of time I said “forever” like I saw it in the heir that day I said “I’m fine” like I didn’t feel it break away Maybe it’s too much, maybe it’s out of frame But I don’t trim the truth just to make it safe to say. I don’t whisper love, I let it shake the room I’m in If I felt it once, I feel it ten times again They call it overdone, I call it origin This is what it sounds like when the soul won’t fit in ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS] DON’T TELL ME “CALM”—I CAN’T TURN IT DOWN THIS IS HOW IT SOUNDS WHEN THE HEART’S TOO LOUD EVERY LINE I SPIT GOT FIRE IN IT NOW IF IT’S TOO MUCH—THEN THAT’S WHAT I AM ABOUT I DON’T SPEAK SOFT—I SPEAK IN SHOCK AND SOUND IF I BREAK THE AIR, THEN LET IT BREAK RIGHT DOWN CALL IT “TOO FAR,” I CALL IT “RIGHT SOMEHOW” I DON’T DIM MY SOUL JUST TO FIT IN A CROWD ⸻ [CHORUS 2] HYPERBOLE! HYPERBOLE! I SAY IT LIKE I MEAN IT ALL IF IT SOUNDS TOO BIG—THEN WATCH IT FALL INTO THE TRUTH THAT I CAN’T TONE DOWN THIS IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE WHEN I BURN, OUT LOUD! HYPERBOLE! HYPERBOLE! DON’T YOU TAKE IT LIGHT! I TURNED PAIN INTO FIRE JUST TO SURVIVE THE NIGHT! IF I SPEAK IN STORMS THEN I SPEAK IT FREE! THIS AINT TOO MUCH— THIS IS, JUST ME! HYPERBOLE! HYPERBOLE! LET IT SHAKE THE ROOM! EVERY WORD THE SPARK IN A DYING MOON! THEY SAY “CALM IT DOWN,” I SAY WATCH ME GLOW! THIS IS HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOU LET IT ALL GO! ⸻ [VERSE 2 – CHAOTIC / CONFESSIONAL] I said I’m fine but I lied through my teeth again I turn silence into noise just to breathe again Got too many echoes of “what if” deep within Like my thoughts keep arguing just to feel again I laugh too loud when the room gets quiet on me Then I spiral in my head like it’s Poe et tree. Every memory shows up uninvited, no snow et key. And I act like I’m in control—nah, it just ain’t controlling me! I don’t know where the line is between truth and flair I just know when I feel it, it’s already there So I pour it out reckless like I don’t even care But I care too much—that’s the part I won’t repair! ⸻ [BRIDGE – RAW CORE] And I know I say too much… but I felt too much to hide it Every word a scar I learned not to live inside it If I screamed in color, it was never just to blind you It was just the only way my heart knows how to find you! I don’t need perfection, I don’t need it understood I just needed something real to mean I did what I could If I broke the language, if I bent it like I should It’s ’cause her silence never held me like I wished it would… So call it hyperbole… I call it survival Every “too much” line is just me staying alive, though And if I fade out loud, let it echo where I go I wasn’t lying—I just didn’t know how else to let it show ⸻ [OUTRO – CINEMATIC FADE] I don’t know if they heard me right… or if I was just too loud for the silence But I was here… I was here… Every word still floating… like smoke that forgot the fire Hyperbole… or maybe just a heart that didn’t know how to be small If you listen close… I’m still saying it I meant it all. …and even the parts that scared me Still thankful to all my friends…that took the time to spare me.
