Stop (Underground Bound)

[Verse 1] Every warning painted red Every thought inside my head Tells me slow down, check the sign But I’m already past the line Blinking lights and fractured lanes Running circles through my brain Pressure building, engine high Can’t distinguish truth from drive [Pre-Chorus – escalating tension] Every second pulling tight Every signal burning bright No reverse and no decline Only motion over time [Chorus – explosive, fast-moving] Red octagon (Won’t stop long) No won’t be long (’till I’m long gone) Every warning fades behind (Every limit redefined) Can’t slow down when systems lock (Everything becomes the shock) [Refrain – rhythmic chant, punchy delivery] Stop! (Sign) Break up time Stop! (Sign) No, can’t go slow Stop! (Sign) Cross the line Stop! (Sign) Still all systems go (You know… go!) [Verse 2 – driving momentum continues] The city blurs in neon streams Half awake inside the dream Every corner, every street Moves beneath accelerating feet There’s a reason signs exist But momentum still persists When the signal says “beware” Some just hear electrical air [Pre-Chorus – bigger build than before] Every caution, every code Feels like fuel upon the road No escape velocity From the need for urgency [Chorus – expanded arrangement] Red octagon (Won’t stop long) No won’t be long (’till I’m long gone) Flashing warnings, burning red (Still the future charges ahead) Every barrier unlocks (Right before the system shocks) [Bridge – breakdown, psychological tension] Maybe stopping means you see Everything you’re meant to be Maybe motion keeps the mind From the truths it leaves behind But the signal turns to sound And the pressure pulls me down [Final Refrain – frantic, layered voices] Stop! (Sign) Break up time Stop! (Sign) No, can’t go slow Stop! (Sign) Out of line Stop! (Sign) But the wheels still roll [Final Chorus – maximal intensity] Red octagon (Won’t stop long) No won’t be long (’till I’m long gone) Past the signals, past the signs (Past the borders in the mind) Every warning overrun (Till the silence finally comes) [Outro – abrupt mechanical collapse] Stop… (Drop) Realign (The sign…) http://KingArthur.com From the album "Sign" http://kingarthur.com/albums/Sign/ On Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/3wOyFWJ951xeYHMpymwoYj On Amazon Music https://music.amazon.com/browse/music-items/artist/B07SC5C49W/chronological-albums
