Lyrics
[Eb standard, metronomic locked fuzz riff, Sus2 open-string drone hanging unresolved, Bi-Phase phaser sweep slowly cycling underneath, jazz-rock ghost-note snare pulse creeping in — hypnotic, flat, relentless]
[Verse 1]
[nasal-pinched high tenor, flat sardonic bored delivery, sinus-forward close-mic'd, no chest resonance, full-volume whisper double underneath lead, stretched vowels on "palm" and "last", clipped consonants]
I looked you up before I came
your sister's name is Jo
I wrote it on my palm in pen
so it would last the night
[Pre-Chorus]
[glottal fry cracking phrase edges, nasal aggression rising, upper register pressing toward split, Chamberlin ghost-note snare rolls accelerating — tension coils, no release]
so save your handshake
for when you mean it
I already know what you're about
to say to me
[Chorus]
[nasal near-A5 piercing, Frankenstein triple-layer composite: double-tracked nasal lead + full-volume whisper underneath + thin falsetto octave shimmer -15dB, tape flanger swirling across all three, six-guitar Op-Amp fuzz wall detonating, explosive Chamberlin jazz-rock fills crashing in from silence, massive dynamic wipeout]
I came prepared
I came prepared to like you
I came prepared
to be somebody
you'd want to know
you'd want to know
[Verse 2]
[sardonic flat, crowding slightly ahead of beat, glottal fry on hard consonants, whisper track underneath, stretched vowels]
your mother had a yellow coat
she wore it in the photo
I mentioned it at dinner
you said how did I know
[Pre-Chorus]
[nasal aggression sharper, near-sneer, glottal fry growl low on phrase starts, Chamberlin fast snare rolls cracking through, ride bell syncopation slicing fuzz]
I said it just came to me
I said it just came to me
I said it just came to me
yeah it just came
[Chorus]
I came prepared
I came prepared to like you
I came prepared
to be somebody
you'd want to know
you'd want to know
[Bridge]
[fuzz wall drops to single Sus4 open-string drone ringing alone, only ghost hi-hat foot pulse left, nasal deadpan spoken-sing monotone layering up, no drama, voice cracks only on "watching"]
I know what you like
I know where you worked
I know what you said
in two thousand and twelve
I know how you look
when you think
nobody's watching
I know everything
and nothing you've
said to me
[Guitar Solo]
[Bi-Phase phaser-swept fuzz lead climbing over open drone, octave-slide melody mirroring vocal phrasing exactly, artificial harmonics ringing high E open, Chamberlin single-pedal 16th-note kick + ghost snare rolls dragging groove upward]
[Final Chorus]
[maximum density — all three vocal layers locked, nasal near-A5 piercing, tape flanger hard-panned per syllable, six-guitar fuzz wall flat-crushing, Chamberlin hemiola fills polyrhythmic incomplete resolution — no escape]
I came prepared
I came prepared to like you
I came prepared
to be somebody
you'd want to know
I came prepared
I came prepared
I came prepared
to be real
[Outro]
[metronomic fuzz riff cycling down slowly, Bi-Phase phaser decelerating, single nasal whisper fading underneath — preparation still running, no resolve]
I came prepared
I came prepared
[End]
