Drowning in Cheers
This industrial/synthpop dance track opens with a prominent resonant filtered synth bass syncs with the energetic rhythm, while a bright lead synth with sweeping filters drives the melody. The drums have a punchy four-on-the-floor kick, lively open hi-hats, and tight snares with clap accents. The mix remains spacious, crisp, and slightly compressed, spotlighting interplay between sleek, minimal layers for a modern club feel.

Lyrics
Intro
Verse 1
I paint a smile, I play the part,
I draw them in with a broken heart,
They give me love, they give me time,
Behind the mask I hide.
Pre-Chorus 1
But every laugh feels like a lie,
Every tear I can’t deny,
I’m trapped in this disguise.
Interlude
Verse 2
I weave my tales, I spin my lies,
I watch them fall for my disguise,
They think they know, they think they’re wise,
Behind the mask I hide.
Pre-Chorus 2
With every step, I feel the weight,
Of expectations I can’t sate,
I’m lost in this charade.
Chorus
Drowning!
(Drowning!)
Drowning!
In cheers.
(Drowning!)
Verse 3
The crowd applauds, the lights are bright,
But in the dark, I lose the fight,
I’m searching for a sign,
Behind the mask I hide.
Interlude
Bridge
I reach for truth, but it’s too late,
The mask is all that’s left to take,
Behind the mask I hide,
Drowning in cheers.
Guitar Solo
Verse 4
I try to break, I try to flee,
But the mask is now a part of me,
I’m trapped in what I’ve made,
Behind the mask I hide.
Pre-Chorus 1
But every laugh feels like a lie,
Every tear I can’t deny,
I’m trapped in this disguise.
Chorus
Drowning!
(Drowning!)
Drowning!
In cheers.
(Drowning!)
...
Outro
Drowning!
(Drowning!)
Drowning!
In cheers.
(Drowning!)
Drowning in cheers!
