Red Light Crown
Lyrics
Intro
Red light.
Green light.
That siren grin.
Count me in.
Verse 1
I came in broke, with my back on the wall,
Plastic on my neck, heard the whole room crawl.
Honeycomb crack, one wrong breath, you gone,
Needle in the sweet, and the timer kept on.
Tug-of-war shook the whole damn floor,
Glass bridge death, couldn’t guess no more.
Marbles in my palm, had to pray for a win,
Old man smiled while the blood ran thin.
Frontman watch, black mask, no name,
Every round here is a twisted game.
I seen the dorm turn cold as a grave,
Seen a man sell his soul just to save.
Red light flash, everybody freeze,
One step late and you drop to your knees.
I kept my teeth clenched, heart in a blaze,
Trying to live through the shock and the maze.
Pre-Chorus
They call it fate, I call it bait,
One wrong move and you meet that gate.
Chase that cash, but the room bites back,
Hear that bass like a knife in black.
Chorus
Red light, run it
Green light, gun it
Red light, run it
Green light, gun it
Squid game, blood stain
Squid game, blood stain
I want out, but I want that chain
I want out, but I want that chain
Verse 2
Frontman
I run the floor with a velvet threat,
Smile so cold that the winners sweat.
Circle, triangle, square on the mask,
You don’t ask why, you just do the task.
If the crowd wants screams, then I feed the room,
Gold on the wire, and a gun in bloom.
Season two, same deal, new face, new fear,
Fresh set of broke-down prayers in here.
There’s a rebel in the cracks with a plan and a glare,
There’s a squid-shaped shadow in the air.
Every vote like a blade when the lights go low,
Every friend can flip when the numbers show.
You want rules? Here’s one: don’t blink,
Don’t trust the ally at the edge of the brink.
When the jackpot calls, we make saints of thieves,
And the rich watch close while the whole thing breathes.
Pre-Chorus
Count that cash, hear that laugh,
Run for your life on a broken path.
One more round, one more fall,
Big screen watching over all.
Chorus
Red light, run it
Green light, gun it
Red light, run it
Green light, gun it
Squid game, blood stain
Squid game, blood stain
I want out, but I want that chain
I want out, but I want that chain
Verse 3
Player
I learned real quick, don’t stare too long,
The man next door can end your song.
Hopscotch step and the panel dropped,
One bad guess and the whole thing stopped.
The room got loud when the money rose,
When fear got fed, and the hunger showed.
I seen friends turn wolves in a single night,
Seen mercy lose in a hallway fight.
Now I move like a ghost with a grin of steel,
Trying to keep my name, trying not to kneel.
If they want my fear, I give them noise,
If they want my soul, I break their toys.
Dead-eyed guards with the same damn stare,
But I’m still here, I’m still in there.
Crawl through the static, cut through the screen,
I survived the nightmare, I’m still obscene.
Bridge
Frontman
Hear the crowd go feral.
Hear the doors lock shut.
Player
Every game is a verdict.
Every breath is a cut.
Frontman
Pick a shape. Pick a side.
Player
I pick alive. I pick alive.
Final Chorus
Red light, run it
Green light, gun it
Red light, run it
Green light, gun it
Squid game, blood stain
Squid game, blood stain
I want out, but I want that chain
I want out, but I want that chain
Outro
Circle, triangle, square.
Pray if you dare.
Red light.
Green light.
You still there?
