Serenity

Intro
(Horns and trumpets blast a sharp, staccato fanfare. Snare drum rolls into a steady, militant marching beat. Beat drops with a heavy bass line.) Verse 1
(Delivery: Fast, frustrated, almost spoken-word flow over a simpler version of the beat.)
Ayo, check the calendar, the deadline's in red
But your motto's "Bukas na" playin' in your head
A chorus of excuses, a symphony of dread
While the work just piles up beside the bed
You had the plan, you had the map, you had the steps to take
But then you chose the detour for your own sake
"Just one more video," man, give me a break
The foundation that we built is startin' to shake. Pre-Chorus
(Horns start to build with short, punctuating hits.)
Procrastinator! Bukas na, lagi mong sinasabi
Sa tuwing may kailangan gawin, oh, bakit ganyan?
Ano ba 'yang utak mo, kaibigan, laging nagdadahilan?
Di ka na sumunod sa timelines nating na-set! Chorus
(FULL MARCHING BAND HITS - Big, bold, and melodic. Delivery is powerful and sing-songy.)
Kaya wala tayong natatapos sa ating mga projects!
BUKAS NA! Let tomorrow deal with it!
While we sleep and wait for miracles that never hit!
Kaya wala tayong natatapos, oh-oh-oh!
The clock is ticking but you just don't give a— (beat cut)
Another day, another delay, that's it! Verse 2
(Beat becomes more chaotic, syncopated. Horns stab erratically. Flow is more aggressive.)
Ang ADHD mo, di matigil, laging paulit-ulit!
Scatterbrain, 'yung focus mo, parang may gumugulit!
Laging naka-distract, di na maka-hit!
Notifications, temptations, another rabbit hole you dig
One minute on the task, the next you're in the abyss
Chasing dopamine, while turning in your work to shit
The potential's there, I see it, but you never commit
Just a cycle of "I'll start soon" — man, this is it! Pre-Chorus
(Horns return, more urgent this time.)
Procrastinator! Bukas na, lagi mong sinasabi
Sa tuwing may kailangan gawin, oh, bakit ganyan?
Ano ba 'yang utak mo, kaibigan, laging nagdadahilan?
Di ka na sumunod sa timelines nating na-set! Chorus
(FULL BAND, even bigger. Maybe add a call-and-response ad-lib: "BUKAS NA!" shouted in the background.)
Kaya wala tayong natatapos sa ating mga projects!
BUKAS NA! Let tomorrow deal with it!
While we sleep and wait for miracles that never hit!
Kaya wala tayong natatapos, oh-oh-oh!
The clock is ticking but you just don't give a— (beat cut)
Another day, another delay, that's it! Bridge
(Music pulls back. Just a somber, single trumpet melody and a simple beat. Delivery is direct, earnest, a plea.)
So, can you calm down?
And focus on the task at hand?
Can we work together?
And finally finish what we began?
No more "bukas," just today
Let's lock in, find a way
Put the phone down, let the noise fade
Let's build the thing we made in our brain. Breakdown / Horns Solo
(The marching band takes center stage! A triumphant, complex, and motivating horn and trumpet solo over the marching rhythm. It feels like a halftime show pushing towards victory.) Outro Chorus
(The band and beat come together for one last, massive, anthemic chorus. Delivery is full of determined energy.)
SO TAPUSIN NATIN 'TO, ANG ATING MGA PROJECTS!
NO MORE "BUKAS NA!" TODAY, WE DEAL WITH IT!
No more sleeping, waiting on a miracle, WE'LL MAKE IT HIT!
TAPUSIN NATIN 'TO, OH-OH-OH!
The clock was ticking, and now we understand!
Together, now we finish what we began! Outro
(Music fades with the horns holding a long, triumphant chord, while the beat and snare march out.)
(Faint, spoken) "Oo nga. Sige. Ngayon na."
