(Title: Electric Now)
(Music Intro: Bright, driving synth bassline with a four-on-the-floor drum beat. Think Dua Lipa meets early Lady Gaga.)
(Verse 1)
Used to walk with my head down low
Blended in with the status quo
Lived my life in a shade of gray
Hoped my quiet would keep the wolves at bay
Listened close to the "don'ts" and "can'ts"
Never gave myself a second glance
But a pilot light I didn't know I had
Was tired of sleeping, tired of being sad
(Pre-Chorus)
And then a flicker, then a spark, then a blaze
Something waking up inside this haze
Hear that rhythm? It’s a different beat
Coming up from my head down to my feet, oh!
(Chorus)
I got this fire running in my veins
This electric charge that breaks the chains
Every step I take, the ground will shake
I'm the author of the rules I make!
Yeah, the passion's talking, let it shout
This is me, and I got no doubt
I’m lightning in a bottle, finally out
Oh, I got no doubt!
(Verse 2)
Now the silence doesn't bother me
Or the whispers of who I "should be"
They can stare, they can talk, they can point and view
But my compass is locked on something true
I see my face in the window pane
And I don't see weakness, I just see the rain
Washing off all the dust and fear
Yeah, my vision's never been so clear
(Pre-Chorus)
'Cause that flicker, it became a blaze
And I'm lighting up these hazy days
Feel that rhythm? It’s a brand new beat
Taking over, so bittersweet, oh!
(Chorus)
I got this fire running in my veins
This electric charge that breaks the chains
Every step I take, the ground will shake
I'm the author of the rules I make!
Yeah, the passion's talking, let it shout
This is me, and I got no doubt
I’m lightning in a bottle, finally out
Oh, I got no doubt!
(Bridge)
They built the box, but I tore down the walls
I'm the answer to my own damn calls
Every scar is a star in my design
And this spotlight? It's finally mine, all mine!
(Dance Break / Instrumental: The synth lead goes wild, bass is heavy, maybe a few vocal chops "Oh-oh-oh!" "No doubt!")
(Chorus)
I got this FIRE running in my VEINS!
This ELECTRIC charge that breaks the CHAINS!
Every step I take, the ground will SHAKE!
I'm the AUTHOR of the rules I MAKE!
Yeah, the passion's talking, let it SHOUT!
This is ME, and I got no DOUBT!
I’m lightning in a bottle, finally out
Oh, I got no doubt!
(Outro)
Electric now...
(Beat continues)
Oh-oh-oh...
Yeah, I got no doubt.
(Beat continues, stronger)
The ground will shake...
(Beat continues)
No doubt.
(Song ends abruptly on a final synth chord and beat.)
