Edge Chasers Theme (Trouble in Paradise) [Video Game OST]

"So I was handed this great opportunity to craft music for an upcoming video game project. I'm under NDA so I can't disclose much but I was permitted to tease the main cast's theme song. Has this J-Rock anime intro vibe. Enjoy it!

Inspired by bands such as Local H, Coaltar of The Deepers (Japan), The Butthole Surfers, Jim Steinman, and Patti Smith. Funny thing is there's no bass track Fuzzy broke his fingers in a freak bowling accident. But the sound is more raw without it! As if the Edge Chasers could only make music with what they had.

I also dig the unfiltered vocals: a recommendation by crux. They were right this stripped down sound makes the song feel very punk, authentic, and real. The underproduced quality is super fresh! It's like raw cookie dough, which IMO is better than cookies 99.9% of the time." - Squishface

Lyrics
[Intro]
Just another summer in Paradise
Just another summer in Paradise
Just another summer in Paradise

[Verse A]
We started from nothing
But here we are
Now we're driving to the sky

We know that it's impossible
But hell we're gonna try

We're gonna keep racing
Cuz there's nothing else
Keeping us alive

We couldn't really do
Anything else
Not even if we tried

[Chorus A]
Just another summer in Paradise
Just another summer in Paradise
It's just a another summer in Paradise
But Paradise has fallen
It's another summer in Paradise
But Paradise is lost

[Post-Chorus]
So we're burning rubber
In Paradise
Now we've got our song to sing
Gotta Burn some rubber
In Paradise
Though you'll choose to
Never hear it

[Pre-Verse]
Yeah it's always summer
In Paradise
Yeah it's always summer
In Paradise

[Verse B]
We've had enough
Now we're chasing
The Edge

And The Edge
Is Growing
Thin

We've had enough
of certainty

And this time
We will win

We're no longer
Waiting to take our turn

No more
Standing in line

Dashing the Ts
and crossing our eyes

It's our time to
Take a stand

[Chorus B]
But nobody knows Paradise has fallen
So it's our job to show
Where Paradise has been
Yet nobody believes in Paradise
No the irony's not lost on us
That Paradise can be a hell
It's what you make of it

[Post-Chorus]
So we're burning rubber in Paradise
So we've got our song to sing
You've gotta burn rubber in Paradise
Though you'll choose to never hear it

[Break]
Yeah we're burning rubber in Paradise
You've gotta burn rubber in Paradise
Yeah we're burning rubber in Paradise
You've gotta burn rubber in Paradise

[Verse C]
We're only running away
From ourselves
Or rather who
we used to be

We never wanted
to be heroes
But its our destiny

No we're not
the heroes they wanted
But we're the heroes that they need
I guess its funny
but just how it is
That that's our destiny

[Verse D]
So now we're causing trouble
in Paradise
And watching structures fall
Yes we're stirring up trouble
in Paradise
Now the building they are
Crumbling

Yeah we're burning rubber
In Paradise
Now we've got our song to sing
Gotta Burn some rubber
In Paradise
Though you'll choose to
Never hear it

[Chorus C]
But we're never gonna make it
If we can't make it our selves
But you know we've got to try
But we're never gonna make it
If we don't make it our selves
So we're gonna ride or die
Yeah we're never gonna make it
If we don't make it our selves
We're never gonna make it
So we're gonna ride or die

[Outro]
Forever burning rubber in Paradise
Gotta burn some rubber in Paradise
