Caught in the Web
Punk rock, energetic riffs, powerful drumming, and youthful rebellion in a catchy anthem. Fast and relentless, around 180 BPM. It should feel like a panic attack.

Lyrics
Verse 1 - Start with a tense, almost spoken-word sneer that builds into a desperate. The backing vocal should be a distant, echoing whisper.
Buzzing through the static.
Those LEDs got me manic.
Smashed deep into your web.
I’m starting to PANIC.
(I’m in a spider’s web.)
Chorus - Gang vocals.
I’m in a spider’s web.
Caught in a spin.
Can’t see where the web ends.
Don’t know where it begins.
Verse 2 - More guttural and pained. The vocals should sound like they're being crushed.
I see its spindly legs.
Long and disjointed.
Its fangs sink in deep.
I’ve succumbed to its poison.
(I’m in a spider’s web.)
Chorus - Gang vocals. Shift to a powerful, palm-muted chugging on the low E string.
I’m in a spider’s web.
Caught in a spin.
Can’t see where the web ends.
Don’t know where it begins.
Bridge - A sudden stop/start rhythm. The vocal delivery should shift from shouting to a drained, monotone, horrified mutter. It should sound exhausted.
I can’t move, I can’t hide.
It’s mandibles click.
I’m sucked dry from the inside.
So numb, I can’t feel my life slip.
(I’m in a spider’s web.)
Chorus - Gang vocals.
I’m in a spider’s web.
Caught in a spin.
Can’t see where the web ends.
Don’t know where it begins.
Outro - The vocals are now a weak, broken gasp.
I’m a husk, I’m a shell.
Its belly swells.
I’ve got nothing left to take.
Another body in its wake.
(I’m in a spider’s web.)
