Behind the Birthday Song
Rylan Thompson
male vocals
electronic
happy
metal
double-kick drums
Starts with bright
bouncy electro-pop: sidechained synths
chiptune arps
and a four-on-the-floor kick. First sections feel bubbly and major-key
with male vocals soft and playful. Midway
everything glitches and drops into downtuned guitars
and screamed harmonies; synths become eerie pads and metallic stabs. Final chorus fuses catchy pop topline with brutal metalcore growls for a whiplash
theatrical climax.

Тексты
[Verse 1]
Tokens clink in a paper cup
Kids run past with their faces painted
You clock in as the lights come up
Plastic smile
But your hands are shaking
Pepperoni on a greasy plate
Tickets stuck to your sweaty fingers
Somewhere deep in the party place
Something ugly in the wiring lingers
[Chorus]
Welcome to the party
Sing along
“Happy birthday” way too loud
Too long
Every laugh is hiding what you’ve done
Behind the birthday song
Dancing in the glow of painted walls
You keep hearing distant
Broken calls
Every cheer is covering the wrong
Buried in the birthday song (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Photo booth with the flashing frames
Parents tap on their tired phones
You adjust all the smiling frames
Trying not to see the skull and bones
Suit and tie in the storage room
Purple stains on a name tag
Faded
You hum low to the empty tune
While the air gets cold and suffocated
[Chorus]
Welcome to the party
Sing along
“Happy birthday” way too loud
Too long
Every laugh is hiding what you’ve done
Behind the birthday song
Dancing in the glow of painted walls
You keep hearing distant
Broken calls
Every cheer is covering the wrong
Buried in the birthday song
[Bridge]
[Beat glitches
Tempo slows
Guitars slam in]
Candy-coated carpet
Soaked in what you did
Arcade screens flicker
Call you by your sins
He built a maze of fur and teeth (go on, smile)
Locked their names in rusted beams (stay awhile)
William’s shadow in the kitchen light
Stitching silence to their screams
[Metal Verse]
Chrome jaw clicking in the dark
Golden grin around your throat (breathe in)
Fingers reaching from the vents
Every promise that you broke (bleed out)
Hear the stomp of empty feet
Every costume knows your face (your face)
Purple laughter in your ear
“Welcome back to your favorite place”
[Metal Chorus]
Welcome to the party
Sing it now
Every single word becomes a vow
Every little candle’s burning proof
You can’t outrun this truth
Marionette strings pull you tight
All your pretty plans chewed up by night
Every child you folded into lies
Is looking through these eyes (woah)
[Outro Chorus]
Soft voice stuck in a metal throat
“Happy birthday” as they drag you closer
Every cheer you twisted into code
Crashes down like a closing door
Welcome to the party
Final show
Every secret you refused to know
Every name you buried in this floor
Sings you down forevermore
Tokens clink in a paper cup
Kids run past with their faces painted
You clock in as the lights come up
Plastic smile
But your hands are shaking
Pepperoni on a greasy plate
Tickets stuck to your sweaty fingers
Somewhere deep in the party place
Something ugly in the wiring lingers
[Chorus]
Welcome to the party
Sing along
“Happy birthday” way too loud
Too long
Every laugh is hiding what you’ve done
Behind the birthday song
Dancing in the glow of painted walls
You keep hearing distant
Broken calls
Every cheer is covering the wrong
Buried in the birthday song (hey!)
