[Instrumental Intro: Driving Bassline, Angular Guitar Riffs, Fast Drums, Rising Synth Noise, Beeping Horns]
[Intro]
Streetlights blur in coded rain
Running hard but chasing pain
Signals flashing red and gray
Still you race the wrong way
[Verse 1]
Speeding past the warning signs
Trading truth for easy lines
Mirrors crack but pride won’t bend
Headlights fade beyond the end
Voices call from far behind
But momentum floods the mind
Forward feels too good to stop
Even near the final drop
[Pre-Chorus]
Turn the wheel
Break the spin
No one wins
By doubling down again
[Chorus]
Hey!
Wouldn’t you say
(You’re going the wrong way)
Turn around
(Reverse bound)
… to stop from going further astray
Slow it down
(Look around)
Before the walls all begin to close in
Wrong way
(Don’t delay)
You can still begin again
[Instrumental Break: Distorted Guitar Solo, Syncopated Drum Fills, Pulsing Synth Arpeggios]
[Verse 2]
Maps were burned for certainty
Blind conviction posing free
Roads divide beneath the tires
Fueling fear and feeding fires
Echo chambers guide the lane
Looping anger back again
Past the point where facts can steer
Noise becomes the thing you hear
[Bridge: Half-Time Groove, Heavy Sub Bass]
Reverse the motion
Undo the drive
Not all momentum
Keeps truth alive
One step back
Can clear the haze
A change of course
Can change your days
[Build Section: Layered Chant Vocals, Intensifying Percussion]
Wrong way
(Wrong way)
Wrong way
(Change lane)
… go sane
Wrong way
(Wake up)
Wrong way
(Turn around)
… get found
[Final Chorus]
Hey!
Wouldn’t you say
(You’re going the wrong way)
Turn around
(Reverse bound)
… to stop from going further astray
Raise your eyes
(Recognize)
The edge is closer than it seems
Wrong way
(Change today)
Before collapse outruns your dreams
[Outro: Bass Pulse Slowing, Guitar Feedback Stretching Into Silence]
Wrong way…
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Wrong way…
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
[Silence]
