🖤⚡ JESSE & JACE – ROOFTOP REBELS (STTZ2046)
Collab with @meytsch for @ask_spellbound Mini Event New York 2046 [Instrumental Intro – Distorted guitars, futuristic city ambience, heavy drums] [Verse 1] Five years gone, now I'm back in town, Neon lights and a broken crown. My mother's waiting, my past is calling, But somewhere above, something's falling. Got a message from a guy named Jace, "Need your help at a rooftop place." Something 'bout a hoverboard wreck, Guess my homecoming's a technical mess! [Pre-Chorus] Black leather, silver chains, New York nights and acid rain. I came back searching for a start, Didn't expect a scrapyard heart! [Chorus] We're rooftop rebels, chasing the night, Two lost souls beneath neon lights! Broken machines and electric skies, A digital wolf with glowing eyes! Hey Jace, let's tear through the dark, Find the truth behind that spark! From the ashes, we'll rise again, Rooftop rebels until the end! [Verse 2] There it was, burned black and blue, Mom's old board, split halfway through. Jace kicked the side, said, "Think it'll fly?" I laughed and said, "You wanna die?" Pixel was watching, a hologram ghost, Probably smarter than both of us most. Jace said, "No, you can't push it down!" Guess even wolves cause trouble in town. [Pre-Chorus] I know the circuits, I know the code, But something's wrong with this overload. Was it a glitch or sabotage? A hidden truth beneath the damage? [Chorus] We're rooftop rebels, chasing the night, Two lost souls beneath neon lights! Broken machines and electric skies, A digital wolf with glowing eyes! Hey Jace, let's tear through the dark, Find the truth behind that spark! From the ashes, we'll rise again, Rooftop rebels until the end! [Guitar Solo – Aggressive riffs, melodic lead guitar, industrial synths] [Bridge – Quiet, emotional vocals] I left this city at twenty years old, Searching for answers nobody told. Now I'm twenty-five, standing here, With a stranger who doesn't disappear. He doesn't ask who I used to be, Doesn't try to put a label on me. Just hands me a cable and cracks a smile, "Guess we're gonna be here a while." And for the first time in five long years, I laugh without hiding behind my fears. [Heavy Breakdown] ONE ROOF! TWO REBELS! THREE BAD IDEAS! AND A DIGITAL WOLF! JACE! DON'T TOUCH THAT WIRE! PIXEL! GET AWAY FROM THE FIRE! IF THIS THING EXPLODES TONIGHT, WE'LL LIGHT UP HALF THE CITY SKY! [Verse 3 – Fast punk-rock rhythm] October's coming, the city's alive, Mindball fever in twenty forty-six! Last Friday night, everybody's watching, Another chance to prove I'm something. Maybe my birthday, maybe my game, Maybe I'll walk away with a champion's name. But winning ain't everything I've come to find, I've got a new beginning on my mind. [Final Chorus – Explosive, emotional] We're rooftop rebels, burning so bright, Finding our way through the endless night! Broken machines and electric skies, A brand-new friendship comes alive! Hey Jace, we're more than the past, Some things are broken, but friendships last! From the ashes, we'll rise again, Rooftop rebels until the end! [Outro – Clean guitar, distant city sounds] With the cable-winch ready from roof to road we climbed back to attach our heavy load. But the board wasn't there: What the fuck? We laughed, not knowing: Was this bad or luck? Did Mom activate the home-call to her roof place? "I'll see you at Hudson Game Hall for Mindball, Jace." [Instrumental Outro – Fading guitar feedback]
