energetic alternative rock fused with neoclassical, piano driven verses, intimate half spoken rap vocal that flips into vulnerable melodic singing, punchy live drums, gritty distorted bass, bright staccato piano chords, anthemic gang vocal chorus shouting call and response, sudden dynamic drops to solo violin, cello quartet and timpani rolls, quiet loud structure, youthful urgent bittersweet mood, confessional lyrics, cinematic build, tempo 92 bpm vocal style: young adult male, slightly raspy, conversational and rhythmic in verses, airy falsetto lift in chorus, close mic whisper to full arena belt instruments: acoustic piano, string quartet, solo violin lead, orchestral percussion, electric guitar crunch only in choruses, synth pad under strings Quiet load dynamics

Lyrics
Verse 1
Now I am 21
Young enough to fly
Old enough to understand why
The night pulls like gravity
And I say yes to every pull
Count the seconds
Bitter, sweet, electric
I was told to want less
I never learned how
Pre-Chorus
Confidence
Power
Dreams
Life
All four burning in one chest
If this is sin, let it be honest
Chorus
Give me more
Give us more
We want more
We are diving in
Speeding through
Vaulting high
Hands up, hearts out
Let the volume prove we are alive
Classical Break 1: strings only
solo violin over pizzicato, then cello swell
Verse 2
Teach me pleasure like a language
Not a poison, not a prayer
Every laugh is triumph
Every kiss, no limitations
Old enough to know the cost
Young enough to pay it twice
If meaning is a moment
Then I will hoard those moments
Pre-Chorus 2
Confidence
Power
Dreams
Life
Say it till the words ring true
Chorus
Give me more
Give us more
We want more
We are diving in
Speeding through
Vaulting high
Remember this time
This sensation of
Life
Will carry us far
Bridge: Classical Break 2
Let the violins argue with the drums
Let the bass bow low like a confession
We are not running from death
We are running toward feeling
Hedonism is not empty
It is the honest weight of now
If tomorrow wants an apology
Let it find us out of breath
Breakdown
Now I am 21
Young enough to fly
Old enough to understand why
Final Chorus
Give me MORE
Give us MORE
We want MORE
We are diving in
Speeding through
Vaulting high
Remember this time
This sensation of
Life
Will carry us
Will carry us
Far
Outro
Now that I am 21
