[Silence]
\n[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]<\/p>\n
[Intro]
\n[Instrumental Intro: Pulsing Bass, Organ Swell, Muted Guitar Chops, Rising Synth Filter]
\n[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
\nIs your name…
\n(A claim to fame?)<\/p>\n
Who are you…
\n(What do you do?)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]
\n[Guitar Solo]
\n[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nFirst comes a whisper
\n(Then a sound)
\nSoon enough
\n(It gets around)<\/p>\n
One little label
\n(Sticks like glue)
\nMaybe it fits…
\n(Probably not you)<\/p>\n
Names get written
\n(Names erased)
\nSome are honored
\n(Some disgraced)<\/p>\n
Who decides
\n(What’s true to claim?)
\nWhat’s really…
\n(In a name?)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nCall me this
\n(Call me that)
\nDoes a word
\n(Define the facts?)<\/p>\n
Wear a crown
\n(Wear the blame)
\nEverything changes
\n(With a name)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nHey!
\nHave you played the game?
\n(What’s in a name?)<\/p>\n
Say!
\nWill you ever be the same?
\n(Now you’ve played the game)<\/p>\n
Hey!
\nWho’s the one to blame?
\n(What’s in a name?)<\/p>\n
Say!
\nWe all play the game.
\n(What’s in a name?)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nSome chase glory
\n(Some hide shame)
\nSome inherit
\n(A family name)<\/p>\n
Some reinvent
\n(Who they’ve been)
\nSome never get
\n(To start again)<\/p>\n
Titles matter
\n(So they say)
\nOpen doors
\n(Or block the way)<\/p>\n
When the introduction
\n(Starts the same)
\nThere’s no hiding…
\n(In a name)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nIt’s just a word…
\n(Or so we’re told)
\nYet stories grow
\n(Before they’re known)<\/p>\n
Before they listen
\n(Before they see)
\nThey’ve named the person
\n(They think you’ll be)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]
\n[Organ Solo]
\n[Guitar Solo]
\n[Synth Build]<\/p>\n
[Breakdown]
\nWhat’s your name?
\n(Who are you?)
\nWho decides?
\n(Is it true?)<\/p>\n
Who decides
\n(Who’ll remains)<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\nCall me friend
\n(Call me foe)
\nOnly time
\n(Will really know)<\/p>\n
Judge the heart
\n(Not the frame)
\nThere’s much more…
\n(Than just a name)<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nHey!
\nHave you played the game?
\n(What’s in a name?)<\/p>\n
Say!
\nWill you ever be the same?
\n(Now you’ve played the game)<\/p>\n
Hey!
\nDon’t forget your name.
\n(It isn’t all the same.)<\/p>\n
What’s in a name?
\n(Only what we give it.)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nSay my name…
\n(If you know me)
\nKnow my name…
\n(Stands for happily.)<\/p>\n
