🎶 [Title: Ricochets (Explicit)] [Verse 1 – low, moody, stripped band (clean guitar, soft drums, close vocal)] Time bleeds through the cracks, Spilling in your sky, Faces wear their pretty masks, Fighting ghosts that never die. Every promise gone bent Hangs heavy in the air like smoke, Someone lit the fuse and went, Left the room choking on the joke. [Pre-Chorus – tension build, drums pick up, bass swells] Running on these lies, Crashing through the silence, Heartbeat on a trip line, Breathing in the violence. [Chorus – full band, big drums, wide guitars, powerful vocal] Violence in the air, Thick as gasoline, Silence in the chest, Ricochets obscene. Drifting over islands, Numb and far away, Shattered fucking skylines, All breaking today. Every tired mind stuck in the loop, Echoes of a voice that cuts right through: “Why the hell change a life for you?” Just another thought that ricochets too. [Post-Chorus – groove continues, light backing vocals echo “ricochets”] Ricochets, ricochets, Off the bones and off the paint, All the shit they never say Bouncing in the brain. [Verse 2 – drums pulled back, bass and guitar driving, vocal more defiant] In apartments stacked like bricks, Blue light hums from every screen, People scrolling through the hits, Trading hearts they don’t quite mean. Some build castles, stone by stone, Call the chaos “home sweet home,” Let a stranger storm each room, Turn their daylight into fumes. Every rule gets torn apart, Names get carved into the scars, Patterns spinning in the dark, Same old story, different hearts. [Pre-Chorus – bigger build, toms and rising pads] Running on these lies, Crashing through the silence, Edges getting thin, Flirting with the violence. [Chorus – full band, same melody, slightly more intensity] Violence in the air, Thick as gasoline, Silence in the chest, Ricochets obscene. Drifting over islands, Numb and far away, Shattered fucking skylines, All breaking today. Somewhere in the static, cutting through, That same old question burning true: “Why the hell change a life for you?” Just another thought that ricochets too. [Chorus – Short Reprise, half-time feel, atmospheric, layered vocals] Violence in the air, Starting to fade, Silence in the chest Starting to shake. Every crack in the glass they made Lets in a light they can’t unmake. [Bridge – stripped back, mostly vocal, light keys/guitar, intimate but raw] Nobody owns another’s nights, Nobody owns another’s pain, Still the world keeps selling rights To every bruise and every shame. Every script that says “obey,” Every guilt-soaked, quiet day, All that pressure, all that weight, Teaches hearts to recreate. [Bridge – Build, drums and bass slowly rise, guitars swell, pre-drop energy] Toxic little fairytales, Happy endings bought and nailed, Whole damn culture built to prove Some lives shift so others move. Underneath the sugarcoat, Underneath the shining view, There’s a simple, brutal note Ringing through the residue. [Final Chorus – biggest hit, full band, harmonies, emotional peak] Violence in the air, But not every soul will break, Silence in those chests Starts to wake. On the far side of the hurricane, Voices finally say their names. Violence in the air, Thick as gasoline, Silence in the chest, Ricochets between. Hundreds of decisions, Things they never do, All because the thought breaks through: “Why the hell change a life for you?” [Chorus – Extended Outro, anthemic, gang-style backing vocals, slow fade] Ricochets, ricochets, Through the bullshit and the blame, Bouncing off the rusted cage, Punching holes in every frame. Violence in the air, But some hearts stand tall, Echoes in their chests Start to fall. Under all the wreckage and the shame, Beats a pulse that won’t be tamed. Ricochets, ricochets, Till the question cuts clean through: Why the hell change a life for you? Ricochets, ricochets— Let that be the truth.
