✦ Lyrics by adipit ✦ [Intro - Driving bassline and a sharp drum fill] [DENSITY: ══] [Verse 1] [Vocal: Raspy, rhythmic] He’s always fixing up his smile When someone famous stays a while. Checks his phone to see his name, Hooked on the flicker of his fame. He knows exactly where to stand When the cameras sweep the room. Plays it cool, but watch the glow — He’s addicted to the show. [Pre-Chorus] [DENSITY: ══] [Building tension] He doesn’t need the money first, He just needs to quench the thirst. Clap a little, say it loud — He lives off the oxygen of the crowd. [Chorus] [DENSITY: ###] [EXPLODE 💥🎧💥] He wants the front row seat, Where the lights and the legends meet. Say he’s brilliant, say he’s bold — Watch how fast he takes control. Build it tall, he’ll guard the wall Long as his name is on it all. Let the praise fall down like rain — He’ll fight just to hear it again. [Verse 2] [DENSITY: ══] He laughs too hard at every joke Just to keep his image afloat. If the spotlight starts to drift, He’ll find a way to make it shift. He doesn’t hate you, doesn’t care — He just needs everyone to stare. Call him out? He won’t react — He just can’t stand to lose the act. [Bridge] [DENSITY: •] [Breakdown - Bass and drums only, then building up] Take away the cheers tonight, Watch the polish lose its light. Give him something he could lose — Now he’s got too much to prove. Tie his name to what you build, Watch how fast his doubts are killed. [Final Chorus – Bigger] [DENSITY: ###] [Maximum intensity] [Modulate up 2 semitones] He wants the front row seat, Where the lights and the legends meet. Say he’s brilliant, say he’s bold — Watch how fast he takes control. Build it high, he’ll hold it tight, Guard it like his own spotlight. Let the whole world chant his name — He’ll never let it slip away. [Outro] [DENSITY: •] He's addicted to the show... (Feedback fades out) [END]
