LyricsShow lyrics

Cavedwellers Fast Lane Junkies
Exhibition track

Verse1
It's now how I was raised, to overtake on the right hand side
But my mama said to get out of the slow lane
So I grew up unfazed at the chaos on the free-freeways
And the traffic moving slower than Soul Train

Pre Ch1
What So Never the Dance was playing and i ws funking out

Chorus
An army full of keep-right signs
Don't make no difference
To the fast lane junkies chasing their lines
To the left to the left
An army full of keep-right signs
Don't make no difference

Verse2
I don’t like what I’ve become, everything’s a competition
I wonder what it’s like to stop and smell the roses
The best is yet to come, if I can get there soon enough
The worst will happen if I’m too late arriving

Pre Ch 2
What So Never the Dance was ending and I was nowhere near

Chorus
1st half of Fast Chorus (same as regular chorus)
2nd half of Fast Chorus
Alarming little slice of life
they gotta keep a movin
always proving that they’re alive
to the death to the death
There is havoc in the traffic
Giving pleasure to the junkie

Pre Ch 3
What So Never the Dance was over and i was out of time

Chorus
fast Chorus

This is really good. Sounds like you responded to being knocked out by producing your catchiest effort yet. I think the guitar solo doesn't sit in the mix properly, maybe needs to be turned down a bit. Vocals sound really good, I was surprised by those vocal acrobatics around the 4 minute mark but it works (are they vocoded/autotuned at all?). Thank darwin you're not in the round.

Formidable opposition indeed. I hope you all get knocked out and I win.

I like the guitar riff. It's a darn shame you "played it safe" after getting eliminated. Some of those harmonies sound a little too tight; maybe the autotune was set a little too strict? Or you could just lean into it by tightening it all the way and raising the background vox to the point where it's obvious what you did. Or vocoding, if you have one of those keyboard with a tube in it. Oh man, the drums in that double-time section rock! This would have been in my top three if you hadn't gotten cut last week.
