Resist the Night
[Opening: (Eerie synths, distant sirens, heartbeat bass)] (spoken, low, urgent) Ain’t nobody watching the road no more. Red lights, no brakes. R-R-R-R-R-R-Red lights flashing, but they hit the gas. History got a habit of doubling back. And we? We just sit, like it ain't that bad. [Bass Drop: (808s hit, distorted synths creep in)] --- [Hook: (Spoken word, slow, ominous)] We’re walking tightropes over fires we pretend don’t exist. Eyes wide shut, while freedoms twist. They say it’s paranoia, just a wild charade, But the writing’s on the wall, and the ink won’t fade. [Bass Drop: (808s hit, distorted synths creep in)] --- [Verse 1: (Urgent, rhythmic, heavier flow)] Trans rights dismantled, protections rescinded, Lives upended by policies that leave them defenseless. Health data scrubbed, history erased— They’ll cloak it in reform, (But it's rooted in hate.) Borderlines blur—who’s in, who’s out? Speech gets clipped when you start to shout. Cameras on corners, tracking your name, Say the wrong thing, watch the law get changed. °°° https://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/article/lgbtq-erasure-trump-sf-20168220.php? https://www.them.us/story/queer-trans-federal-workers-fear-lgbtq-purge-lavender-scare? °°° [Hook] One by one, they take what’s yours, Till freedom’s just another word for war. (Resist the night!) (Resist the night!) (Resist the night!) --- [Verse 2: (More intense, distorted vocal doubles)] Project 2025, a blueprint in disguise, Centralizing power while democracy dies! Fascists don’t march with torches no more, yeah—they sit in boardrooms, writing reform. Change up the rules, keep the game fixed, Pull up the ladder, then burn up the bridge. Journalists vanish, protests get banned, People still sleep while the world’s in their hands. °°° https://www.aclu.org/project-2025-explained? https://thefulcrum.us/governance-legislation/donald-trump-project-2025-2671187995? °°° --- [Bridge: (Stripped-down, spoken delivery)] History don’t scream, it whispers first. It Starts with a law, and ends in a hearse. They’ve redefined gender, biology as decree, completely Invalidating, denying autonomy. Wellness camps, a benevolent guise, Echoes of internment— (just look in their eyes.) °°° https://www.hrw.org/news/2025/01/23/trump-administration-moves-reject-transgender-identity-rights? https://www.nsl4a.org/project-2025? °°° [Bass Drop: (Distorted, glitchy hit)] [hook] One by one, they take what’s yours, Till freedom’s just another word for war. (Resist the night!) (Resist the night!) --- [Breakdown: (Beat fades, just a heartbeat bass)] It don’t take a war. Just a blindfold. Just enough people who look away. Just enough silence to let it stay. --- [Outro] It don’t take a war. Just a blindfold. Just enough people who look away. Just enough silence to let it stay. Resist the night!
