Scream

From the HSM Wiki, the free High School Musical encyclopedia

"Scream" is one of the singles from High School Musical 3, and the 9th song on the soundtrack and in the movie. The song is sung in the movie by Troy Bolton.

This song touches on the issue of Troy having to choose between the path in life that his father wants him to take (playing basketball) vs. choosing something that he wants (stage, music, and Gabriella). Troy is confused. He wants to follow his own dreams: "the ball's in my hand". The beginning of the scene shows him on the basketball court, but he finishes the sequence on the stage and literally screams. He doesn't just want to be Troy the basketball player. But more importantly, he doesn't want to be away from Gabriella as "nothing works without her". He makes a decision that will affect his life not long after this scene.

[edit] Lyrics

The day a door is closed
The echoes fill your soul
They won't say which way to go
Just trust your heart
To find what you're here for
Open another door
But I'm not sure anymore
It's just so hard

Voices in my head
Tell me they know best
Got me on the edge
They're pushin', pushin', they're pushin'
I know they've got a plan But the ball's in my hands
This time it's man-to-man
I'm drivin', fightin', inside

(A world that's upside down)
It's spinning faster
What do I do now
Without you?

Chorus:

I don't know where to go
What's the right team
I want my own thing
So bad I'm gonna scream
I can't choose, so confused
What's it all mean
I want my own dream
So bad I'm gonna scream

I'm kicking down the walls
I gotta make 'em fall
Just break through 'em all
I'm punchin', crashing, I'm gonna
Fight to find myself
Me, and no one else
Which way, I can't tell
I'm searchin', searchin', can't find a

(Way that I should turn)
I should, turn right or left it...
It's like nothing works
Without you

(Chorus)

Yeah, the clock's runnin' down
Hear the crowd gettin' loud
I'm consumed by the sound
Is it her?
Is it love?
Can the music ever be enough?
Gotta work it out!
you gotta work it out!
You can do it!
You can do it!

(Chorus)

I don't know where to go
What's the right team
I want my own thing
I want my own thing
I can't choose, so confused
What's it all mean
I want my own dream
So bad I'm gonna scream

Ohh
Ahhhhhhhh...
