[Mood: Frantic, disoriented]
[Energy: High]
[Instrument: virtuoso lead guitar, fretless-style bass, double-kick drums]

[Verse 1 | tight palm-muted rhythm guitars | aggressive drive | tight snare]
Woke up, the alarm clock sounded the same
Called my brother just to say hey
He used the very words I grew up with
But every single one of them missed
I said "I'm doing fine" – he heard "go away"
I said "meet me at noon" – he swore I was late
(UH)

[Pre-Chorus | stripped down | half-time feel | fretless bass and voice only | growing tension]
I know these words, I've used them for years
Now they're scrambled and nobody hears
(SAME WORDS)

[Chorus | full band | anthemic delivery | stacked harmonies | wide stereo]
Same words, wrong meanings
You're talking but I can't translate
Same words, wrong meanings
Every sentence comes out too late
(HEY)
Same sounds that I learned as a kid
Now they mean what they never did
(SAME WORDS!)

[Verse 2 | palm-muted rhythm guitars | jazzy chord voicings | driving kick]
At work they nodded at everything I said
Then turned around, did the opposite instead
My girl said "always", she meant "maybe tonight"
My friend said "trust me" and we got in a fight
(UH)
Asked a stranger to point me the way home
He said "turn left" and I ended up alone

[Pre-Chorus 2 | stripped down | half-time feel | bass and voice only | growing tension]
I shout the right words at the top of my lungs
And they land like a foreign tongue

[Final Chorus | full band return | maximum energy | stacked harmonies | gang shouts]
Same words, wrong meanings
You're talking but I can't translate
Same words, wrong meanings
Every sentence comes out too late
(HEY)
Same sounds that I learned as a kid
Now they mean what they never did
(SAME WORDS!)

[Outro | big finish | tempo push | final lead guitar flourish]
Woke up – the alarm clock sounded the same
Called my brother, and he said my name
I asked him, "What does it mean when I say 'hey'?"
He laughed: "It means you're you – it's okay"
(everything back in place)
But I still think twice before I speak
Checking the meaning of every word I keep
[guitar lead run | sharp stop]
