Extra Butter Nihilism

Write pop-punk male vocal lyrics with 165 BPM, D major core with power chord voicings. Core instrumentation: beat-up Squier distorted rhythm guitar, root-note bass, over-compressed loud drums, 8-bit Game Boy synth leads, 8-second acoustic verse pre-lude, nasal snarky male vocals. Theme: The absurd existential dread of picking the "correct" office breakroom microwave popcorn flavor, paired with quiet rebellion of sneaking extra butter packets and hiding them in your desk drawer. Blend angst, dry meme humor, and faint nostalgia for the uncomplicated microwave popcorn of your teen years, with a huge singalong chorus, a snarky spoken-word bridge, and a 10-second screaming outro about burnt popcorn fumes. Emotion is giddy nihilism, equal parts annoyed and amused. Structure follows verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-massive chorus-scream outro.

歌詞

[Intro]
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Fluorescent lights are humming low
The breakroom’s where the spirits go
I’m staring at the vending shelf
I’m losing touch with my true self
Sweet and salty? Light?
Which one ends this mental fight?
The timer’s counting down my soul
I'm losing control
[Chorus]
Oh, pick a flavor, any kind
Just to lose your freaking mind
It’s a buttery abyss
Is this all there really is?
Pop another bag of dread
Till the office vibe is dead
Yeah, we’re burning up inside
With nowhere left to hide
[Verse]
I’m palming packets like a pro
The HR lady doesn’t know
They’re hidden in my bottom drawer
Right next to memos I ignore
Back in ninety-nine it felt
Like real gold when the fats would melt
Now I’m forty and I’m bored
Hoarding grease like some dark lord
[Chorus]
Oh, pick a flavor, any kind
Just to lose your freaking mind
It’s a buttery abyss
Is this all there really is?
Pop another bag of dread
Till the office vibe is dead
Yeah, we’re burning up inside
With nowhere left to hide
[Bridge]
Is it Kettle Corn?
I am so forlorn
My dignity is torn
I wish I wasn't born
The yellow stain is deep
While the middle managers sleep
Secret stash I keep
Into the trash I leap
[Chorus]
Oh, pick a flavor, any kind
Just to lose your freaking mind
It’s a buttery abyss
Is this all there really is?
Pop another bag of dread
Till the office vibe is dead
Yeah, we’re burning up inside
With nowhere left to hide
[Post-Chorus]
IT’S BURNT TO THE CORE
I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE
THE FUMES IN THE HALL
I’M GONNA END IT ALL
BLACK SMOKE IN THE AIR
DOES ANYBODY EVEN CARE?
THE KERNELS ARE CHARRED
LIFE IS WAY TOO HARD
[Outro]
