0:00–0:17 Locks the riff contract

Distorted guitar opens alone around 0:06, then drums and bass enter around 0:17 and seat a jagged, repeating chug. The track states its motor and harmonic floor before any voice arrives.

0:17–1:01 Soft voice rides the grind

A near-whispered vocal enters over the still-heavy riff—first address (Hey you, big star), a brief instrumental cut, then the voice returns and tightens toward the turn. The section keeps the riff unbroken while the lyric leans in.

1:01–1:22 Screamed refrain hits

The vocal flips to full scream on the shove it cycle as guitars and drums thicken into a denser wall. The refrain is proved once, then the wall pulls back.

1:22–2:11 Resets and reruns the contract

The opening riff returns clean. Soft verse two re-enters on the same groove (I think God is moving its tongue / in my own summer), then the screamed refrain reloads and spends itself again. Repetition does the formal work: same frame, second pass.

2:11–3:25 Bridge thins, then gathers

Voice drops out for grinding riff and bass pulse; density later falls to sparse ringing chords. Soft vocal re-enters over the reduced groove (the shade is a tool), then guitars and drums swell until the bed is a full wall again—delay and rebuild rather than a third early chorus.

3:25–3:45 Final shove, hard cut

Screamed vocal bursts back over the massed riff for a last refrain surge. A final heavy chord rings and breaks into silence; the form ends by rupture, not fade.

The song is a held riff engine that twice trades whisper for scream, opens a thinned middle, then returns the scream only long enough to stop cold.
