[Intro]
[Click Track, Metronome Tick, Muted Guitar, Sub Bass Pulse, Light Hi-Hat]
[Spoken Vocal, Slight Echo]
Straight line… no deviation
(No hesitation)
Attempts at proving…
(Keep it moving)
[Beat locks in, groove builds]
[Verse 1]
[Mid-Tempo Groove, Bass Guitar, Clean Electric Guitar, Tight Drums]
Every thought runs in a row
Same direction, same old flow
Signals flash but you don’t see
Anything but what will be
Switches there but never thrown
Every path is overgrown
By the rhythm in your head
Pulling forward, never spread
[Pre-Chorus]
[Build-Up, Snare Crescendo, Synth Rise, Guitar Layering]
You don’t hear the crosswinds call
Don’t see cracks along the wall
Everything is streamlined tight
Running blind into the night
[Chorus]
[Full Band, Driving Drums, Heavy Bass, Layered Vocals]
You have a:
(One track mind)
If you trace
(You will find)
La, la, la
(You have a:)
One track mind!
(One track mind)
[Verse 2]
[Reduced Instrumentation, Piano Motif, Subtle Bass, Soft Percussion]
Every answer fits the same
Different question, same old frame
Echo chamber, steel and sound
Spinning but it stays unbound
Lines converge but you don’t turn
Every lesson left unlearned
Still the engine drives ahead
On the rails inside your head
[Pre-Chorus]
[Intensity Builds, Percussion Layers, Synth Swell]
There’s a world beyond the line
Curves and corners undefined
But it’s easier to stay
On the track that feels okay
[Chorus]
[Full Energy, Guitar Distortion, Harmony Vocals]
You have a:
(One track mind)
If you trace
(You will find)
La, la, la
(You have a:)
One track mind!
(One track mind)
[Bridge]
[Breakdown, Ambient Pad, Reversed Guitar, Minimal Beat]
What if there’s another way?
What if you could shift the play?
Every rail you hold so tight
Might be blinding you from sight
[Build-Up, Rising Noise, Drum Crescendo, Feedback Guitar]
Let it bend, let it break
Every turn you never take
Could be leading somewhere new
If you only changed your view
[Final Chorus]
[Maximum Intensity, Full Instrumentation, Choir-Like Layers]
You have a:
(One track mind)
If you trace
(You will find)
La, la, la
(You have a:)
One track mind!
(One track mind)
You have a:
(One track mind)
Break the line
(Leave it behind)
[Outro]
[Stripped Down, Piano and Soft Synth, Metronome Fades Out]
Tick… tick… tick…
(or change the time…)
Hear the clock chime
(Time… time… it’s time.)
