Alright, picture me, Adron, a music enthusiast, and connoisseur of tunes, settling down for a serene evening. I’m ready to be whisked away on a melodic journey by Crashing Atlas’ latest hit, “Savages”. The scene is set, my mood is right, and my expectations are soaring higher than a kite at a beach festival.
The opening chords strike. “This is it,” I think to myself, “the musical rapture I’ve been waiting for.” But as the song progresses, something’s off. The chorus hits, and instead of soaring on the wings of harmonious eagles, I feel like I’m riding a unicycle with a flat tire—wobbly, unbalanced, and just a tad bit deflated.
The promised drop is more of a gentle plop, the kind you’d expect from a leaky faucet rather than a bass that should shake the foundations of my soul. My face contorts in confusion, a Picasso painting of bewilderment. “Where’s the savage in ‘Savages’?” I wonder, as the song trudges along like a sloth on a leisurely stroll.
The bridge approaches, and I perk up, “Here we go, redemption time!” But alas, the bridge is less Golden Gate and more like a rickety rope bridge in a low-budget adventure movie. It sways, it creaks, and I can’t help but hold my breath, hoping I’ll make it to the other side without incident.
By the end of the song, my letdown is so profound it could fill a book of world records under “Most Anticlimactic Musical Experience.” I sit there, a single tear rolling down my cheek, not because I’m moved, but because I’m mourning the loss of what could have been a wild, savage ride.
And as the last note fades into the abyss of mediocrity, I can’t help but chuckle. “Well,” I sigh, “at least the song title got one thing right. It was a savage letdown.”
