Generations of Noise

[Intro – spoken] He still remembers the lights… the first time they hit his eyes. ⸻ [Verse 1 – sung] (Child) He was ten, tiny in the crowd, Hands shaking but the amps were loud. His heart exploded with the very first chord, He swore the ceiling almost tore. [Pre-Chorus – sung] He didn’t know who he’d become, But he felt it—yeah, it all began right there. [Chorus – sung] Turn it up! Just a kid who screamed right back at the stage, Feeling fire growing up inside his veins. Turn it up! ’Cause every moment felt like fate in motion, His life began inside that ocean— That ocean of noise. ⸻ [Verse 2 – sung] (Adult) Years flew by and he stood there again, Same band, same roar, same hurricane. Now he’s taller, older, still insane, Still chasing thunder in his chest like then. [Pre-Chorus – sung] Never thought he’d still be here, But the music kept him breathing through the years. [Chorus – sung] [screamed] Turn it up! Still the kid that’s screaming back at the stage, Even stronger with a thousand scars of age. [sung] Turn it up! This place rewrites the story in his bones, He never really stood there alone— Not alone in the noise. ⸻ [Bridge – spoken + sung] (Parent) [spoken] And now he’s there with his own kid on his shoulders… Their eyes wide like his, Their heartbeat racing to the kick drum. Full circle. [spoken → screamed] He smiles—and screams. [Chorus – sung] [screamed] Turn it up! Another kid now shouting back at the stage, Carrying fire from a different age. [sung] Turn it up! Three generations shaking to the roar, The moment hits him even more— Yeah, even more in the noise. ⸻ [Verse 3 – sung] (Grandfather) Silver hair but his pulse still wild, He’s in the pit with his grandchild. Wrinkles dancing with the lights above, Still loud, still proud, still made of love. [Pre-Chorus – sung] Time is ruthless, yeah that’s true, But music kept him young—and brought him here with you. [Final Chorus – sung + screamed] [screamed] Turn it up! He was, he is, he’ll always be in the crowd, Living lifetimes inside the walls of sound. [sung] Turn it up! His story started with a single chord, And ends with family screaming more— [screamed] Forever young in the noise!
