Intro: (Soft, echoing synth pads with a reversed vocal sample looping “done this before…” fading in. A subtle heartbeat-like kick drum pulses, creating a dreamlike, cyclical atmosphere. The soundscape feels like waking into a familiar yet disorienting memory.) I’ve walked this maze the cycle never ends Every step I trace, I know this place Verse 1: (Mid-tempo beat kicks in with a glitchy hi-hat and a warm, pulsing bassline. The vocals are slightly distorted, as if coming from a distant memory, with faint reverb.) Done this before, I swear it’s true Feel déjà vu, it’s pulling me through Every time I die, I’m woven anew Find myself reborn, under skies I knew Pre-Chorus: (A rising arpeggiated synth line builds tension, with a vocal harmony layering in. The beat drops out briefly, creating anticipation.) Time bends, it breaks, it calls my name Every turn I take, it feels the same Chorus: (Full instrumentation hits: driving drums, layered synths, and a distorted guitar riff for intensity. Vocals are multi-tracked with a slight delay effect to mimic echoing memories.) Not my first rodeo, I’ve played this game Not my first rodeo, I know the flame This ain’t my first rodeo, I’m here again Not my first rodeo, it never ends Not my first rodeo, I’m bound to spin This ain’t my first rodeo, it’s where I’ve been Verse 2: (The beat evolves with a syncopated rhythm and faint vinyl crackle in the background for a nostalgic, time-worn feel. Vocals are clearer but layered with a ghostly harmony.) Infinite lives, I’m stitched through time Lived more than twice, these scars align I can’t be sure, the edges blur This ain’t my first rodeo, I’ve walked this curse Pre-Chorus: Time bends, it breaks, it calls my name Every turn I take, it feels the same Chorus: Not my first rodeo, I’ve played this game Not my first rodeo, I know the flame This ain’t my first rodeo, I’m here again Not my first rodeo, it never ends Not my first rodeo, I’m bound to spin This ain’t my first rodeo, it’s where I’ve been Bridge: (The beat strips down to a minimal kick and atmospheric pads. A reversed piano melody plays, creating an eerie, disorienting vibe. Vocals are soft, almost whispered, with heavy reverb.) Done this before, the echoes scream Déjà vu, it’s tearing the seam Every time I fall, I’m caught in the stream Reborn in the tide, reliving the dream Round and round, the spiral won’t break Every choice I make, the same mistake Verse 3: (The beat rebuilds with a glitchy, stuttering rhythm and a warped vocal sample looping “not my first…” in the background. The energy is darker, more intense.) Fractured in time, I’m split in two Mirrors reflect the lives I knew Every thread I pull, the cycle holds This ain’t my first rodeo, it’s carved in my soul Final Chorus: (The full band returns with added strings for a cinematic feel. Vocals are layered with a choir-like effect, giving a sense of transcendence. The delay effect intensifies, making the phrase “not my first rodeo” echo into infinity.) Not my first rodeo, I’ve played this game Not my first rodeo, I know the flame This ain’t my first rodeo, I’m here again Not my first rodeo, it never ends Not my first rodeo, I’m bound to spin This ain’t my first rodeo, it’s where I’ve been Not my first rodeo, I’m lost in the glow This ain’t my first rodeo, it’s all I know Outro: (The instrumentation fades to a lone synth pad and a looping reversed vocal sample of “it’s all I know…” The heartbeat kick from the intro returns, slowing down as if the cycle is pausing, only to fade into silence with a faint echo, suggesting it’ll start again.) Round and round, the tide won’t fade Déjà vu, my endless stage It’s all I know… (echoes and fades)
