Juxtapose

[Silence]

[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Clean Guitar Arpeggios, Rolling Bass, Tight Drums, Atmospheric Synth]
[Spoken Vocal]
Put it side by side…

Look at the difference…

Then ask yourself—

What happens…

When opposites collide?

(Where do you reside?)

[Refrain]
Just suppose…
(Juxtapose)
Take a position
(Be the solution)

Love and hate
(… there’s no debate)
Just suppose…
(Juxtapose)

[Verse 1]
Black beside the white can show
Shadows where the bright lights glow
Near and far can change the view
Old beside the something new

[Pre-Chorus]
Look left
(Look right)
Different
(Contrasting sight)

[Chorus]
Juxtapose
(Place it near)
What you thought
(Becomes clear)

Love and hate
(Choice and fate)
Light and dark
(Leave a mark)

Two positions
(Two directions)
Side by side
(Reflections)

Just suppose…
(Juxtapose)
Take a position
(Be the solution)

[Verse 2]
Calm beside the rushing storm
Cold beside the something warm
Truth beside a point of view
Makes you question what you knew

[Instrumental]
[Electric Guitar Solo: Alternating Clean and Distorted Tones, Melodic Bass, Syncopated Drums]

[Bridge]
Love
(Hate)

Hope
(Fear)

Near
(Far)

Here
(There)

Put them side by side…

What do you see?

(Reality)

[Breakdown]
[Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Sparse Percussion]
Just suppose…

There’s a difference

In the reference

Juxtapose

[Final Refrain]
Just suppose…
(Juxtapose)
Take a position
(Be the solution)

Love and hate
(… there’s no debate)
Just suppose…
(Juxtapose)

[Final Chorus]
Juxtapose
(Place it near)
Make the difference
(Disappearing fear)

Take a position
(Make a choice)
Find a solution
(Use your voice)

Love and hate
(Choice and fate)
Side by side
(See the divide)

[Refrain]
Just suppose…
(Juxtapose)
Take a position
(Be the solution)

Love and hate
(… there’s no debate)
Just suppose…
(Juxtapose)

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Guitar Arpeggios, Warm Bass, Organ Swells, Saxophone Harmony]

Just suppose…

Juxtapose…

Side by side…

Now decide.

Take a position…

Be the solution.

(Put love above)
