Bad Reputation

+ Show full styles

[Intro – ambient guitar echoes, soft kick pulse] Mmm… Every scar’s a souvenir, Every flame, a friend. [Verse 1 – slow rock groove, minimal drums, reverb guitars] Every bad decision I ever made, I’d do it again — I’d do it again. The smoke, the lies, the price I paid, I thought I’d fade of old age, not sin. [Pre-Chorus – rising pads, heartbeat bass] I burned every bridge, But I like the fire. Guess I’m wired To never tire. [Chorus – full pop rock / EDM burst, big drums, bright synths] And I know I got a bad reputation, Can’t change what I am — no salvation. Every whisper, every damn temptation, Yeah, I wear it proud — no hesitation! I know I got a bad reputation, I know I got a bad reputation… [Verse 2 – returns to slow rock, darker tone] You were my only friend, The first and last I had. I never lied to you — You were the calm in the bad. All my enemies are dead, Still I can’t sleep at night. Guess I made peace With the fight. [Pre-Chorus – distortion slowly rising again] I buried my past, But it claws through the ground. Every echo, Still makes a sound. [Chorus – explosive EDM-rock hybrid again] And I know I got a bad reputation, Can’t change what I am — no salvation. Every whisper, every damn temptation, Yeah, I wear it proud — no hesitation! I know I got a bad reputation, I know I got a bad reputation… [Bridge – heavy bass drop, EDM-trap pulse with vocoder vocals] Let the lights go red, Let the crowd go blind, If I’m doomed to burn, Then the stage is mine! [Final Chorus – full anthemic wall of sound] And I know I got a bad reputation, Fire in my soul — reincarnation! Every sin’s my own creation, I’m the storm, not the explanation! I know I got a bad reputation… Yeah, and I’m never gonna change it! [Outro – soft guitar fading, heartbeat slowing down] Every bad decision… I’d do it again.
