Velvet Pretensions

8 days agoAria v1
[Intro] [Verse 1] Black turtleneck and a vintage vinyl stare, Monocle opinions cut through the midnight air. You quote French philosophers but misspell their names, Sip espresso slowly while the crowd claps for fame. [Chorus] Velvet pretensions, draped in borrowed light, Jangle-pop riffs to d***n out the night. You’re a new wave relic, polished and chrome, But the mirror cracks when you dance alone. [Verse 2] Abstract art tattoos on a canvas of skin, Your poetry’s a looped tape no one lets begin. Name-drop the obscure films you’ve never seen, A curated persona stuck in a magazine. [Chorus] Velvet pretensions, draped in borrowed light, Jangle-pop riffs to d***n out the night. You’re a new wave relic, polished and chrome, But the mirror cracks when you dance alone. [Bridge] The synthesizer hums a truth you can’t deny, Your halo’s just a disco ball hung too high. A standing ovation for your hollow design— The encore fades, but you’re still on the line. [Outro]
