Side Quests (// Remix)

I crossed a hundred finish lines And never felt

them land Just chased the next horizon With a trophy in my

hand {soft piano and airy plucked synths slowly widening} Then a turn

I didn't plan

Changed the course that I had set

Funny how the wrong turns I took Became the ones I won't

forget

The treasure wasn't waiting At the finish line ahead It was hidden

in the moments I almost skipped instead {laid-back verse pocket} I'm living

for the side quests

The roads I never planned

The heartbreaks and the heartbeats

That made me who I am

{rising

synth layers}

Every unexpected sunrise Every chance to clear my head

I stopped chasing destinations Now it's side quests instead Living for the

side quests

Leveling up again (yeah) {wide melodic chorus drop} {detuned supersaw lead melody,

chopped vocal stabs, sidechained

pads, deep sub-bass drop} Some days it's a mountain trail

Some days it's a melody Every little quest reward

Adds another piece to me

Found adventures in small moments

Found new worlds inside old dreams Turns out all the time I

"wasted" Was the time that set me free Nobody remembers

Every point they ever scored

But they'll remember how it felt To open one more door {second

verse with added motion}

I'm living for the side quests

The roads I never planned

The heartbreaks and the heartbeats

That made me who I am

Every unexpected sunrise Every chance to clear my head

I stopped chasing destinations Now it's side quests instead {bigger chorus lift}

I used to need the ending

Just to prove that I'd arrived

But the moments in the margins Reminded me

I was alive

So let the map stay open

Let the next turn stay unknown 'Cause every road I wandered Led

me to a place to call my own

{vocal and piano stripped down,

then build} I'm living for the side quests

The stories in between The unexpected moments That changed everything The roads

that took me nowhere Ended up changing me

Funny how the detours led Exactly where I needed to be

I'm living for the side quests

The roads I never planned The heartbreaks and the heartbeats That made

me who I am

Living for the

side quests Leveling up again

(yeah) {final wide melodic drop and glowing coda}
