New Year, Still Standing
Ultra-evil hard rock with shamelessly vulgar lead guitar domination. Filthy overdriven guitar tone, sloppy bends, rude vibrato, abusive whammy dives, ugly slides, choking pinch harmonics. Grotesque, disrespectful lead guitar always in front. Fuse Skweee-style squishy, rubbery synth bass and bouncy off-beat funk groove. Add Singeli-like speed pressure underneath for urgency and tension. Male lead vocal: Gritty, middle-aged male voice, low to mid range, slightly raspy. Weathered, confident, dry humor, hard-earned grit. No screaming, no growls — spoken-sung phrasing with attitude and control. Minimal intro, vocals start almost immediately. Tight structure, fast development, finishes around 3 minutes. Dark New Year celebration — survival, scars, defiant pride. Raw, rude, energetic, zero elegance.

Lyrics
Midnight glass, scratched-up bar
Mirror says I made it far
Hands still shake, heart still loud
Lost some fights, still stand proud
Year burns out, names fall away
Clock hits hard — I’m here to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
No clean start, no second skin
Pour it strong, let it burn within
[Chorus]
Here’s to the years that didn’t kill me
Here’s to the scars that stayed
No luck, no mercy, no religion
Just another night well played
Raise it up, no clean disguise
New year comes with bad intentions
So do I
[Verse 2]
Cheap confetti, heavy truth
Too old to bluff, too young to lose
Friends went quiet, ghosts got bold
Still got fire, still got soul
[Pre-Chorus]
No promises, no sacred ground
Just this noise and solid sound
[Chorus]
Here’s to the years that didn’t kill me
Blood and dust and pride
No heaven watching over me
I trust this crooked side
Raise it up, no clean disguise
New year comes with bad intentions
So do I
[Bridge]
If tomorrow wants a fight
Tell it I’m already right
[Final Chorus]
Here’s to the years that didn’t kill me
Still standing, still alive
Bad decisions kept me breathing
That’s how I survived
Raise it up, one last time
New year comes with bad intentions
So do I
[Outro]
Still here.
Happy new year.
[Verse]
深夜の一杯 傷だらけのバー
鏡が言う「よくここまで来たな」
手はまだ震え 心はまだ騒がしい
何度か負けたが 誇りは失ってない
一年は燃え尽き 名前は消えていく
時計が強く鳴る――俺はまだここにいる
[Pre-Chorus]
綺麗な始まりなんてない
生まれ変わりもいらない
強く注げ 内側が焼けるほど
[Chorus]
俺を殺しきれなかった年月に乾杯
残った傷に乾杯
運も 慈悲も 宗教もいらない
ただ うまく終わった夜があればいい
掲げろ 綺麗ごとは捨てろ
新年は悪意を抱えて来る
――俺も同じだ
[Verse 2]
安っぽい紙吹雪 重たい真実
ハッタリには歳を取り
負けるにはまだ若い
友は静まり 亡霊が騒ぎ出す
それでも火はある 魂も残ってる
[Pre-Chorus]
約束はいらない 聖域もいらない
あるのはこの音と 確かな手応えだけ
[Chorus]
俺を殺しきれなかった年月に乾杯
血と埃と誇りに乾杯
天国が見張ってる必要はない
この歪んだ自分を信じてる
掲げろ 綺麗ごとは捨てろ
新年は悪意を抱えて来る
――俺も同じだ
[Bridge]
もし明日が喧嘩を売るなら
もう準備はできてると伝えろ
[Final Chorus]
俺を殺しきれなかった年月に乾杯
まだ立ってる まだ生きてる
最悪な選択が
俺を生かしてきた
最後にもう一度 掲げろ
新年は悪意を抱えて来る
――俺も同じだ
[Outro]
まだここにいる。
あけましておめでとう。
