Black Tie Collapse
[Intro – Dissonant piano run into blast of horns, industrial noise buildup, distorted guitar feedback crashing into a glitchy swing beat] Welcome to the gala of beautiful mistakes, Velvet on my throat and dynamite in cakes. [Verse 1 – Bouncy tuba groove chopped with stuttering snare fills, slap bass mixed with fuzz guitar] Waltz in steel-toed shoes, Drink champagne with broken screws. Ballet of the bruised and loud, Where silence is banned, and shame is proud. [Pre-Chorus – Stop-start brass/guitar rhythm, rising tempo, vocals switch to half-scream] I kiss disaster on both cheeks, The chandelier swings — and everything leaks. [Chorus – Exploding guitars over swing rhythm, brass hooks distorted, vocals shouted in rhythm] Black tie collapse — toast to the end, Violin on fire, no need to pretend. Crash through crystal, bite the rose, Manners melt as the madness grows. [Verse 2 – Funky swing loop layered under gritty guitar riff, vocals faster and more spoken] Slicked my hair with oil and spite, Signed the guestbook with a fistfight. Cufflinks loaded, spit formal lies, My etiquette’s sharp and weaponized. [Bridge – Breakdown with bass-heavy glitch-hop beat, calliope keys warped, spoken vocal over static] Welcome, dear guests — to the final waltz of the aristocrat wrecks. Please keep your masks on… as we grind this ballroom into dust. [Final Chorus – Double tempo, heavy guitars roaring, brass fighting the rhythm, vocals fully unhinged] Black tie collapse — the spotlight dies, Tango with wreckage beneath gold skies. Bow at the ruins, curtsy the blaze, Swing til we fall through the end of days. [Outro – Distant brass loop echoing, fading with feedback and glitched accordion stab] (distant voice) “Encore, anyone?”
