Lyrics
Instrumental Opening - funky distorted guitar, heavy bass groove
Intro - spoken, intimate, like a friend leaning in
Hey. Long time.
Yeah, you're dreaming.
But listen... this is realer than your morning news.
Look outside. Look what they did to the world.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Verse 1 - spoken-rap, dry, rhythmic, controlled anger
Walk with me through the chapters of time
Every step a setup, every law a crime
You stare at the screen and ask: "Is this for real?"
I say: "Count their fingers. How many? Zero. That's the deal."
Verse 2 - spoken-rap, building intensity
They invented the monster to sell you the cure
Shut down the squares in the name of "stay pure"
But you, you saw their puppet show before
You knew the lion was a cardboard mask, the crowd a cheap chore
Pre-chorus - intense spoken, drums start to punch
Now they talk about new walls, new energy block
A ghost in the grid, another fear-based lockdown clock
But people don't lock themselves anymore, my friend
They learned the sickness was the remedy. The game's at an end.
Chorus - shouted melodic, open throat, anthemic
Welcome to the story – it's not a dream, it's now
The powerful write the rules, we pay the price somehow
But something broke inside the machine, you see
Fear doesn't work anymore. They don't believe. Not me. Not we.
Verse 3 - spoken-rap, quieter but intense, confessional
You ask if I'm scared. I show you my hands:
They still shake – but not for their plans
They shake 'cause I've seen people wake up in the smoke
People who won't bow, who laugh at the choke
Verse 4 - spoken-rap, building again
Hell isn't a place – it's a room with no door
Thinking the sun's an opinion, that night is more
But you look at me and smile – I remember who you are
The one who turned off the TV when they said "you won't go far"
Bridge - spoken, almost whispered, intimate
I wish I could tell you: "Everything will be normal again"
But normal was the cage. Normal was the chain.
Now it's different. People opened their eyes while asleep
And the ghosts at the controls… don't control shit. Not deep.
Pre-chorus - intense spoken, driving
They talk about new monsters, an energy that's low
But people learned to dance without the radio
They closed the squares? The squares are inside
And every wall they build… falls with the tide
Final Chorus - shouted, full power, cathartic
Welcome to the story – it's not a dream, it's now
The powerful write the rules, we pay the price somehow
But something broke inside the machine, you see
Fear doesn't work anymore. They don't believe. Not me. Not we.
Outro - spoken, defiant, fading
Keep going. Awake.
Even when you sleep.
'Cause they got the power, sure…
But we got the numbers.
And the memory.
And the taste of not being an actor anymore.
See you. In the real world. When you wake up.
Instrumental Ending - funky guitar riff fades out with feedback
