[Intro]
[Distant Station Ambience, Footsteps, Echoing Announcements, Low Piano Notes]
[PA Voice, Filtered]
Now boarding… final call…
(One and all)
Far and near
(Stand clear…)
[Train Engine Ignites, Rhythmic Clatter Builds into Beat]
[Verse 1]
[Mid-Tempo Groove, Bass Pulse, Clean Guitar, Light Drums]
Crowds are shifting, eyes on screens
Buying into borrowed dreams
Schedules printed, none are right
Still they line up every night
Tickets stamped with borrowed names
Everyone plays different games
Truth delayed on every track
Still no one is turning back
[Pre-Chorus]
[Snare Build, Rising Synth, Vocal Layering]
Have you heard:
(All aboard!)
[Chorus]
[Full Band, Driving Drums, Anthemic Vocals, Synth Layers]
The train
(Is pulling out of the station)
The sane
(Are fleeing the stag-nation)
No brakes
(No room for hesitation)
High stakes
(A runaway situation)
[Verse 2]
[Reduced Arrangement, Piano Lead, Sub Bass, Minimal Beat]
Platforms shaking, cracks appear
Announcements no one hears
Every sign points somewhere else
But no one questions what they felt
Currency of doubt and fear
Spent like it’s disposable here
Riding faster than control
Every mile takes its toll
[Pre-Chorus]
[Build-Up, Percussion Layers, Synth Swell]
Have you heard:
(All aboard!)
[Chorus]
[Full Energy, Guitar Distortion, Layered Vocals]
The train
(Is pulling out of the station)
The sane
(Are fleeing the stag-nation)
No brakes
(No chance of preservation)
Mistakes
(A self-made detonation)
[Bridge]
[Breakdown, Ambient Pad, Distant Train Sounds, Reverb Piano]
Who’s left to question where it goes?
When every answer no one knows
Tracks are laid in blind belief
Fueled by panic, dressed as relief
[Build-Up, Drum Crescendo, Rising Noise, Guitar Feedback]
If you see it, step aside
Or get consumed within the ride
Momentum doesn’t negotiate
It only knows accelerate
[Final Chorus]
[Maximum Intensity, Double-Time Drums, Full Instrumentation, Choir Layers]
The train
(Is pulling out of the station)
The sane
(Are fleeing the stag-nation)
Full speed
(No thought of navigation)
Stampede
(A mass hallucination)
[Outro]
[Gradual Strip-Down, Piano and Ambient Noise, Train Fading into Distance]
All aboard…
(Self-absorbed?)
Wait, wait, wait!
(Too late…)
