[Intro]
(Heavy palm-muted riff, drums building — crowd noise)
Yeah — this one's for Andrew. Turn it up!
[Verse 1]
History slides by, he’s staring at the chalk (10)
Missed the ambush note, walked straight into the walk (11)
Dates float like ghosts, he waves and then he sighs (10)
Answers come and go — he’s two steps behind time (11)
[Pre-Chorus]
Clock ticks — he blinks; lights flash — he freezes
Calls out — he lags; clears the room — he eases
Short breath — long delay; beat drops — he’s late
Build it up — hold the breath — now hit the gate
[Chorus]
Andrew, slow-mo king — epic fail!
Andrew, slow-mo king — epic fail!
Andrew, slow-mo king — epic fail!
[Verse 2]
Spawn peeked, he waved — then he screamed at thin air (11)
Breach opened wide; he tripped breath on the stair (11)
Dropped the defuser, tangled foot in a cable (11)
Drones pinged the plan — he paused to read a label (11)
[Pre-Chorus]
Flashbang pops — he yawns; footsteps — he lingers
Team screams — he freezes; fate slips through his fingers
Short lines, quick hits — heart pounds, hands betray
Lean in close — shout his name — watch him fray
[Chorus]
Andrew, slow-mo king — epic fail!
Andrew, slow-mo king — epic fail!
Andrew, slow-mo king — epic fail!
[Bridge]
We roast, we cheer, we point — but still lift his beer (12)
Friends 'til the end — we laugh, then pull him near (11)
You fall, we fall — but still we sing this tale
A crown of glitches fits our HORIBALE pal
[Solo]
(12–16 bar blazing guitar solo: wah-wah cries, big string bends, tapped arpeggios, harmonics, hammer-ons, screaming lead over a driving rhythm — build, bend, release)
[Breakdown — Tempo Break / Singalong]
Palm-muted stomp — drums cut, crowd joins in
Slow-mo! Slow-mo! Slow-mo king! (call and response)
HORIBALE! HORIBALE! (crowd chant)
[Final Chorus]
Andrew, slow-mo king — epic fail!
Andrew, slow-mo king — epic fail!
Andrew, slow-mo king — epic fail!
[Outro]
(Open-chord chorus hit, big drums — last blazing riff)
Raise a fist, shout his name, laugh till we can't breathe
Here’s to our friend with the HORIBALE reaction scene
(Last guitar scream — fade out on a ringing harmonic)
[Production Notes]
- Verse feel: punchy palm-muted riff, tight snare, low growling bass. Keep vocal delivery playful and slightly delayed for comedic timing.
- Chorus: wide open chords, big reverb, full band — anthemic and singable with the repeated hook.
- Pre-chorus: shorter phrases, tighter rhythm, rising intensity to launch the chorus.
- Bridge: drop to half-time for the lyrical twist, then launch into a 12–16 bar solo described above.
- Mid-bridge: tempo break for chant singalong (call-and-response), then slam into final chorus for maximum payoff.
