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
Verse
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。
