ALLPYE - The Secret Key to Succes
(Intro) (Dirty, melodic guitar riff, slow and steady drum beat, heavy bass line. Spoken, whispered vocals.) Another day is gone And we're still in the same place Trying to find what doesn't exist (Verse 1) (Drum beat continues slow, bass marking the pulse. Chad Kroeger's vocals grow in intensity, with a rough, raspy tone.) The city lights are shining and they blind us I walk the streets that everybody knows But nobody knows where to go Or what to do with all of this They told us about a map, a route, a shortcut But every corner I turn It just leads me back to where I started And I lost the game before it even began (Pre-Chorus) (Drums pick up the pace slightly, guitars start to build in distortion, vocals get more aggressive.) I saw the fake smiles on TV And I tried to be one of them, but it didn't work So I burned the image and started to run (Chorus) (Explosion of sound, heavy distorted guitars, loud kick and snare drum beat, yelled and emotional vocals. 120-130 BPM here!) And they scream, "The secret key to success!" But they don't know a damn thing! The secret key is a lie that nobody tells you! So go ahead, buy the lie, and screw it! You're gonna wake up in the same place tomorrow, and I'll be here (Verse 2) (Tempo slows down again, melody becomes more introspective.) I remember when we were kids, full of dreams With enough courage to jump off a cliff, no strings attached Now our feet are stuck to the ground And we wonder what went wrong We look back and see what we could have been A trail of "what if's" left in the dust And we wonder why we didn't try harder (Pre-Chorus) (Drums pick up again, guitars build the tension.) I saw the fake smiles on TV And I tried to be one of them, but it didn't work So I burned the image and started to run (Chorus) (Heavier and more aggressive, with more layers of guitars and more yelled vocals.) And they scream, "The secret key to success!" But they don't know a damn thing! The secret key is a lie that nobody tells you! So go ahead, buy the lie, and screw it! You're gonna wake up in the same place tomorrow, and I'll be here (Bridge) (Breakdown in the music, drums get softer, the melody becomes simpler and more melancholic, with a clean guitar) (Chad's vocals become calmer and sadder.) And I keep hearing the same words The same advice, the same old crap But nobody tells me where to find the damn key Because they hid it, they buried it, and never saw it again (Guitar Solo) (Melodic guitar solo, but with plenty of distortion and weight. Sad and emotional melody.) (Chorus) (Final climax. Explosive chorus, with the band playing at full force.) And they scream, "The secret key to success!" But they don't know a damn thing! The secret key is a lie that nobody tells you! So go ahead, buy the lie, and screw it! You're gonna wake up in the same place tomorrow, and I'll be here (Outro) (Music slows down, the guitar lets out one last heavy, echoing chord. Chad's voice murmurs.) ...The secret key to nothing
