[Silence]
[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
See that sign…
(Glowin’ red)
Dead end line
(Ahead, ahead)
[Instrumental – Tight Groove]
[Muted Guitar Riff, Pulsing Bass, Snare Rim Clicks]
[Verse 1]
White lines blur
Tunnel sight
Foot on the spur
(Runnin’ from right)
Signal’s bleedin’
(Amber heat)
Ego’s leadin’
(Concrete street)
[Chorus]
Would you say…
(It’s hard to compete)
When pride’s in play
(On a one way street)
Turn around
(Admit defeat)
Find new ground
(Get back on your feet)
[Instrumental – Guitar/Synth Call & Response]
[Drums Half-Time Break]
[Organ Swell Rising]
[Verse 2]
Mirror glance
Cracked and bent
Missed your chance
(Time well spent?)
Rubber’s burnin’
(Smell the heat)
Lesson’s turnin’
(Bitter sweet)
[Chorus]
Would you say…
(It’s hard to compete)
Chasin’ yesterday
(On a one way street)
Slow it down
(Feel the beat)
Lost ain’t found
(In blind retreat)
[Bridge]
See eyes flare!
(Stop and breathe)
Say a prayer?
(Or just believe)
[Low Drone → Gradual Major Key Shift]
[Snare March Builds → Cymbal Wash Release]
Reverse the spin
(Admit the flaw)
Let truth begin
(Rewrite the law)
[Instrumental – Extended Jam]
[Saxophone Solo – Reflective then Bright]
[Guitar Solo – Lyrical, Sustained Notes]
[Synth Pad Opens Wide]
[Final Chorus]
Would you say…
(It’s hard to compete)
Going your own way
(Off that one way street)
Choose your pace
(Not just speed)
Face to face
(With what you need)
[Outro]
Lost no more
(Admit the heat)
Open door
(New two-way street)
Turn the wheel
(Feel complete)
One way healed…
(Repeat… repeat…)
