A-NII-MO!

[Intro] (street ambience, distant bell, soft synth pad) (spoken, warm) Hey, Astra… we’re here. (handclaps) One, two—you know the name: A-NII-MO! [Verse 1] Morning leans on my windowsill, Astra blinks awake Kettle hums a wobbly beat, toast jumps like it can’t wait A wave from the window opposite — yeah, I’m home New address, new weather hums deep in my bones I double-knot my sneakers, a promise to the day: “Show me what I’ve been missing” — then I’m on my way [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a hero’s welcome Just a challenge marked with my name Ready… set— [Chorus] Shout it bright now — A-NII-MO! Where tide-petals bloom and the surf runs slow Half of me’s a warm hello, half wants a showdown — A-NII-MO! A-NII-MO! [Post-Chorus] (handclaps, gang vocals) A-NII-MO! (hey!) A-NII-MO! (go!) Say it once, say it twice, say it like you know A-NII-MO! (hey!) A-NII-MO! (go!) Half a warm hello — half a showdown! [Verse 2] Meet me where Nimbus grass springs back like a dare Where fallen stars took root and glow right there I won’t take you down — I’ll chase your best Winner claims the horizon, loser brews the rest [Pre-Chorus 2] I don’t need a trophy gathering dust Give me a rival worth all the fuss Ready… set— [Chorus] Shout it bright now — A-NII-MO! Where tide-petals bloom and the surf runs slow Half of me’s a warm hello, half wants a showdown — A-NII-MO! A-NII-MO! [Bridge] (stripped back: soft pads, water sounds, single vocal) Low tide at Echoback Landing The water breathes my name back slow Every fall becomes a current Echo — echo — here I go (drums building) Here I go, here I go, here I— (full drop) [Final Chorus] (doubled vocals, everything in) Shout it bright now — A-NII-MO! Where tide-petals bloom and the surf runs slow Half of me’s a warm hello, half wants a showdown — A-NII-MO! A-NII-MO! (ad-lib, laughing) Last one home to Astra buys the dawn! [Outro] (sparse plucks, night ambience) A-NII-MO… A-NII-MO… Same time tomorrow, Astra? (warm synth swell, end)
