The Gaggy (🤡🥲🔪🎪)

[VERSE 1 — Cheerful Circus Pop | 160 BPM, calliope organ, toy piano, Carnival ambience, overly friendly, childish] Oh hey, hello there Thanks for stopping by We'll be sharing laughs again Just like in the old good times I'd like to tell you everything There is to know about those days Back when Gotham knew my name And I still mattered on the page I was standing by his side The greatest clown you'd ever find The robberies The headlines The spotlight shining every night [(/hysterical laughter/)] Sorry for that Don't know what happened there But everything is fine right now It's not too late to remem— [INTERLUDE, Vinyl crackle, Children's choir, synthetic, nostalgic children's voices] (It's so nice to meet you) (My name is Gaggy) (I was his first friend) (I was there first) (Do you remember me?) [VERSE 2- still friendly, but small emotional breakdowns appear ] Do you think you know the story? (The readers moved on) Do you remember who came first? (It's too late) Every word you speak confirms The thing I've feared for far too long (Now I can see) Hello again I think you made a big mistake You remember every clown... Every villain... Every hero... But not me. [PRE-CHORUS — BPM Falls To 130, vulnerable, hurt, starting to get angry] Wanna hear my biggest fear? (It's all your fault) Being forgotten while alive You should've looked a little closer You should've read between the lines Did you think I wouldn't hear The silence growing all these years? (Can you say my name?) [CHORUS — Dark Melodic | 130 BPM, melancholic, desperate] I've been waiting for you Please come back I've been trapped inside these pages Fading into black Are you afraid of me? Just laugh with me There's something missing Underneath Standing right beside him The whole time Yet somehow every memory Erased mine Are you sure You know the story that you read? Welcome to a world of forgotten— [BREAK corrupt, digital stuttering, fairground echoes] forgotten— forgotten— forgotten— forgotten— [VERSE 3 — Metal Drop | 174 BPM, sudden explosion of rage] FUN WITH ALL YOUR HEROES HERE THOSE ARE DEFINITELY YOUR FAVORITES BATMAN HARLEY JOKER TOO EVERYBODY GETS THEIR PLACE BUT IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE I KNOW YOU'D LEAVE ME FAR BEHIND CAUSE EVERYBODY CHEERS THE NAMES THEY RECOGNIZE [VERSE 4 a mixture of fury, pain] SHE GOT THE MOVIES YOU'VE BEEN SO KIND SHE GOT THE SHOWS YOU'RE DOING GREAT SHE GOT A LEGACY OF HER OWN WHILE I'M A REFERENCE LOST IN TIME AND YOU'RE TO BLAME She's beautiful! Young! iconic too! Everything i never grew into! They call her legend! Call her queen! SO what the hell does that make me?! [BRIDGE — 170 BPM, First half: soft, sad, resigned voice] I was made for this My purpose was clear Stand beside the clown Year after year This world It was built on laughs But it'll never feel complete Until somebody looks back [RAGE SWITCH] [The whole band kicks in again. Aggressive, desperate, resentful vocals.] Let me in Let me out Are you still having doubts? I thought I was important Guess I was pretending Oh well Every page Every fan Every memory can be undone To make room for somebody newer Somebody prettier Somebody much better than me [BREAKDOWN, disturbing spoken word] A misstep. A misstep. A misstep. An aberration. An aberration. An aberration. cricket chirps after a failed joke THAT'S ME. [PRE-CHORUS II threatening] I'll become your greatest fear (It's all your fault) You couldn't stop this if you tried I know you'll understand me soon I know you'll hate this feeling too One day they'll erase your name (Will you remember me?) [FINAL CHORUS — 180 BPM, completelyout of control] LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME DON'T LOOK AWAY THIS TIME I WAS THERE BEFORE THE QUINN BEFORE THE SHOWS BEFORE THE SPOTLIGHT I STOOD BESIDE THE CLOWN KING FIRST SO WHY AM I THE ONE WHO HURTS? WHY DOES EVERYBODY KNOW HER NAME WHILE MINE IS BURIED IN THE DIRT? ARE YOU AFRAID OF ME? JUST STAY WITH ME THERE'S SOMETHING COMING STANDING RIGHT BEHIND YOU I'LL ALWAYS KNOW RIGHT WHERE I CAN FIND YOU ARE YOU SURE YOU'LL BE REMEMBERED WHEN YOU'RE GONE? WELCOME TO A WORLD OF FORGOTTEN FUN! [OUTRO — Broken Calliope, exhausted] (You will forget) (Just like they did) (You will disappear) (Just like me) (You will fade away) (Just like me) I was his first friend... His first laugh... His first partner... And now... Nobody remembers... Nobody remembers... Nobody remembers... "A misstep..." "An aberration..." cricket chirps after a failed joke The first laugh dies alone.
