[Intro: Smooth bass line with shimmering strings]
[Verse 1: Male Crooner]
Friend says, "You're stuck, no way to go"
Shrugs it off, his mind too slow
Complex knots, they freeze his care
Solution's lost in vacant stare
[Pre-Chorus: Female Soul Singer]
When the going gets too rough
They say "sorry, that's enough"
Turn their backs and walk away
Leave you hanging every day
[Chorus: Female]
Deadlock disco, dance the stall
No empathy, they drop the ball
Spin around, no help in sight
Groove through chaos, day or night!
[Inst]
[Verse 2: Male]
Calls it tough, then turns away
"Too complex," they love to say
Hearts locked tight, no hand to lend
Stuck in loops that never end
[Pre-Chorus: Female]
Complications make them freeze
Beg for simple guarantees
When life gets messy, watch them flee
From responsibility
[Chorus: Female]
Deadlock disco, dance the stall
No empathy, they drop the ball
Spin around, no help in sight
Groove through chaos, day or night!
[Bridge]
(Male) They stammer, stall, their brains on ice
"Adapt," they cry, no sacrifice
(Female, building energy) I laugh, I twirl, through traps they weave
(Male) Deadlock's my stage, I still believe!
[Chorus: Female]
Deadlock disco, dance the stall
No empathy, they drop the ball
Spin around, no help in sight
Groove through chaos, day or night!
[Outro: Strings fade with funky bass]
(Male, cool detachment) Deadlock disco, a twisted tune
(Female, fiery) No solutions under the moon
(Male, defiant) Spin it out, we claim the floor
Dance the deadlock evermore!
(Acoustic guitar and bass fade out)
