Intro - Instrumental Verse 1 (Synth pulse speeds up—becoming a frantic heartbeat) Don’t tell me to hang on when you have nothing left! You’re holding the line but the line is a noose Give it up, give it up—let it loose! Chorus Just cut the cord! You’ve got nothing to lose if you just cut the cord! Snip the wire and kill the power Just cut the cord! The tension is breaking, so what are you waiting for? Let it drop and Make it stop Just cut the cord! Verse 2 (The rhythm becomes even more fragmented—jagged, math-rock style guitar stabs) You’re in the wrong and I’m doing nothing right Two figures colliding in the middle of the night. You’re not facing the situation Just a masterclass in total hesitation. You’re staring at the edge like it’s a solid floor But there isn’t a lock on that open door. Chorus Just cut the cord! You’ve got nothing to lose if you just cut the cord! Snip the wire and kill the power Just cut the cord! The tension is breaking, so what are you waiting for? Let it drop and Make it stop Just cut the cord! Bridge (The music drops out suddenly. Only a harsh, distorted synth bass remains.) Wake up, wake up. (The room is burning) Wake up, wake up. (The tide is turning) Wake up, wake up, WAKE UP! (You’re not facing the situation!) Guitar/Synth Solo (A chaotic, "glitchy" solo where the instruments sound like they are breaking. High-pitched, dissonant, and aggressive.) Chorus Just cut the cord! You’ve got nothing to lose if you just cut the cord! Snip the wire and kill the power Just cut the cord! The tension is breaking, so what are you waiting for? Let it drop and Make it stop Just cut the cord!
