“Order in the Court” is the first single from the Arcade Cabinet’s Level Select sequel, released January 2024.
Sonically, this song contrasts a lot of Toxi’s more upbeat and complex releases—being a slow, ballad-esque track, whilst the instrumentation consists of a piano, synthesizers, acoustic dru...
[Verse 1]
You sit atop a mountain of lies, actin' so wise
But I'm tired of bein' pushed to the side, casted aside
That night you left me behind, was that by design? (Is there nowhere to be lately?)
'Cause I won't be made a fool of this time (This place keeps killin' my dreams)
Nah, not this time (Let's go)
[Chorus]
I've been enlightened by the turn of the new season
All I've known for months was my last resort
Tired of everybody tryin' to betray me
I hеar the chatter (Order in thе court), callin' order in the court
You made a promise to me, but you didn't keep it
It's hard to justify when you keep comin' short
And how you don't get it yet is amazin'
Callin' order in the court, I don't wanna hear it
[Verse 2]
I feel like I can't trust anybody by my side (Tell me, babe, you wanna leave this town?)
I tried, but weren't enough, not quite (I'm sayin')
Had to cry, it feels like, every other night (Lover, if you wanna go, I'm down)
Can't chalk it up to anyone else how I survived
And now, I walk this Earth, stripped of what I know (Is there nowhere to be lately?)
The safety net I had, pulled below my feet
I can't count on you to pay the debts that you owe, clearly (This place keeps killin' my dreams)
So, take the burden, put it all on me (Let's go)
[Chorus]
I've been enlightened by the turn of the new season (Season)
All I've known for months was my last resort (My last resort)
Tired of all these people tryin' to betray me (Yeah)
I hear the chatter (Order in the court), callin' order in the court (Order in the court)
You made a promise to me and you didn't keep it (You didn't keep it)
And I can't justify this when you comin' short (You comin' short)
And how you don't get that yet is amazin' (It's amazin')
Callin' order in the court, I don't wanna hear it (No)
[Bridge]
I don't know why I keep comin' back here (Back here)
Think I've grown attached to the disappointment, I fear
Tryna solve these problems when you don't have a clue (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Of half, of half (Order in the court), of half of the things that I've been through
I feel like I've been stuck in a time loop
And I'm runnin' outta reasons to like you, or anyone that you came with
I've got the barrel if they're always aimin'
I feel disillusioned
Spent my whole life lookin' for this improvement, when it's all ruined
[Outro]
Is there nowhere to be lately?
This place keeps killin' my dreams
Let's go, uh
I'm sayin', it's tired of waitin'
We could leave this old place behind, yeah
Let's go there
I'm sayin', it's tired of waitin'
Oh, we could leave this old place behind
Da-da, da-da, da
