Sharpie Scrawls
Kibi49 plays
Pop-punk with brash skate-punk edge, 172 BPM, G major, snotty nasally male lead vocals backed by rowdy call-and-response gang vocals. Core instrumentation: punchy distorted power chord riffs with pick scrapes, bouncy thrashed bass, breakneck drum fills with constant crash cymbals, random trombone ska stabs in the bridge, soft ukulele pre-breakdown build that slams back into full chaos. Lyrics carry snarky self-deprecation and giddy petty rebellion, following a kid who snuck into a closed water park after curfew with his crush, bailed right as security showed, tripped into a bush of poison ivy, and still swears it was the best night of his life, balancing flustered romantic flutters with dumb gross-out jokes about itchy rashes and ditching his beat-up skateboard mid-escape. Emotion is giddy, reckless, unapologetically cringey and cathartic.
Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Jumped the gate, cut my knee Lock is broken, finally free She’s in a hoodie, size XL I’m feeling snotty, can’t you tell? The lazy river’s looking dry But we’re both soaring way too high [Pre-Chorus] The moon is out, the pool is still Chasing every stupid thrill She looks at me and starts to grin I’m wondering how the hell I win [Chorus] Chlorine burns and calamine Everything is feeling fine! (Gang: FEELING FINE!) Running from the flashing lights Best of all these summer nights! (Gang: SUMMER NIGHTS!) I’m a wreck, I’m a mess But I’m lucky, I guess! [Post-Chorus] (Gang: HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!) Oozing hives and neon signs Crossing all the safety lines (Gang: HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!) [Verse] Security’s here, “Hey kid, stop!” My skateboard hits a massive flop Left it behind in the deep end That’s my only wooden friend Dived through the hedge, hit the dirt Now there’s leaves inside my shirt [Pre-Chorus] My skin is red, it’s starting to bubble Always getting into trouble She’s laughing while we’re on the run Having way too much damn fun [Chorus] Chlorine burns and calamine Everything is feeling fine! (Gang: FEELING FINE!) Running from the flashing lights Best of all these summer nights! (Gang: SUMMER NIGHTS!) I’m a wreck, I’m a mess But I’m lucky, I guess! [Bridge] (Pick it up! Pick it up!) Scratch that itch, scratch it raw Breaking every single law (Trombone stabs) Check the rash, check the hives Wasting all our teenage lives It’s gross, it’s weird, it’s kinda rad The best date that I’ve ever had! [Breakdown] (Ukulele strums softly) I’m just a dork in a bush of ivy Looking pretty sad and grimy (Drums SLAM back in) YEAH I’M A DORK IN A BUSH OF IVY BUT SHE STILL THINKS I’M SHINY! [Chorus] Chlorine burns and calamine Everything is feeling fine! (Gang: FEELING FINE!) Running from the flashing lights Best of all these summer nights! (Gang: SUMMER NIGHTS!) I’m a wreck, I’m a mess But I’m lucky, I guess! [Post-Chorus] (Gang: HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!) Ditched the board, kept the girl The grossest kid in the whole world (Gang: HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!) [Outro]
