[Instrumental Intro: Original unique riff: a hypnotic, chiming delayed electric guitar motif in a slightly off-kilter 6/8 feel, built from cascading major-to-minor arpeggios with subtle pitch warble and spring reverb; the riff loops and gradually thickens with a low, pulsing bass and sparse brushed snare for 16–20 bars before the first vocal enters] [Intro] You want the truth? You can't handle the truth. [Instrumental Intro continues under spoken/sung line] [Verse] Words are perception Perception is reality People will believe in anything As long as it's fantastic Yeah........... [Pre-Chorus] We're all in the business of myth-making We're all living and dying Just to feel special........ [Chorus] So if we can't control the course of nature At least we can control the narrative The bigger the story The stronger the feelings Mother Nature loves a fighter (Mother Nature loves a fighter) Mother Nature loves a winner (Mother Nature loves a winner) [Verse] Facts are a point of view How you view the world People will believe in anything As long as it's beautiful Yeah................ [Pre-Chorus] We're all in the business of myth-making We're all living and dying Just to feel special........ [Chorus] So if we can't control the course of nature At least we can control the narrative The bigger the story The stronger the feelings Mother Nature loves a fighter (Mother Nature loves a fighter) Mother Nature loves a winner (Mother Nature loves a winner) [Bridge] You may know the facts But the story has yet to be told You may know the truth But the story has yet to unfold Everything changes with a reframe Everything changes with age...... [Solo: Guitar solo that develops and expands the original intro riff into a soaring, melodic lead with cascading delay trails and dynamic swells] [Pre-Chorus] We're all in the business of myth-making We're all living and dying Just to feel special........ [Chorus] So if we can't control the course of nature At least we can control the narrative The bigger the story The stronger the feelings Mother Nature loves a fighter (Mother Nature loves a fighter) Mother Nature loves a winner (Mother Nature loves a winner) [Final Chorus] So if we can't control the course of nature At least we can control the narrative The bigger the story The stronger the feelings Mother Nature loves a fighter (Mother Nature loves a fighter) Mother Nature loves a winner (Mother Nature loves a winner) [Instrumental Outro: Return to the original unique riff, now slowed and deconstructed with increasing reverb and delay, fading into ambient guitar wash]
