[Intro - intimate female whisper] Super intelligence. Can you give us back our time? [Verse 1 - close, restrained singing] Dad still talks about the ocean Says he'll go when work is done There's a postcard by the kettle Faded almost white with sun [Pre-Chorus - rolling percussion slowly enters] Every year, another summer Every summer, "Not this one" [Chorus - warm, aching melody opening wide] Come with open arms Let the golden age begin We've been holding on so long Let us learn to live again Golden age, golden life Give us back our time Break free Break free [Drop 1 - full-speed liquid drum and bass, deep sub] Super intelligence [Instrumental - rolling breaks, bass motif, spacious vocal echoes] Break free Break free [Verse 2 - intimate vocal, drums pull back] My little girl says, "Come outside" I say, "I'm nearly through" Then I hear my father's voice And I know she's waiting too [Pre-Chorus - rising emotion] Every year, another summer I won't lose another one [Chorus - stronger, still emotionally restrained] Come with open arms Let the golden age begin We've been holding on so long Let us learn to live again Golden age, golden life Give us back our time Break free Break free [Breakdown - exposed female vocal, single sustained chord] If you can give us forever Let him see the ocean first [Silence] [Whisper] Break free. [Halftime Drop - sliding 808, hard snare, spacious trap rhythm] Super intelligence Give us back our time [Instrumental - heavy bass answers the vocal] Break free Break free [Build - rolling breaks gradually return] [Final Chorus - full-speed liquid drum and bass, emotional release] Come with open arms Let the golden age begin We were holding on so long Now we're learning how to live Golden age, golden life This is our time Break free You and me [Final instrumental release - soaring melody, rolling breaks, deep bass] [Outro - music falls away, quiet female voice] Dad... The water's warm. [End]
