[Intro] [Verse 1] Sip espresso through a monocle, Quote Foucault in the local pub crawl. Your scarf’s too tight, but the chords are bright, A jangle riff for the neon night. [Pre-Chorus] We’re talking ’bout the films no one’s seen, Vintage typewriters and magazine sheen. A borrowed accent, a tilted beret— The mirror loves you more each day. [Chorus] Oh, plastic pearls in a velvet case, Dancing through the crowd with synthetic grace. New wave beats in a pretentious haze, We’re all too clever to phase. [Verse 2] Name-drop Kafka at the indie show, Arch your brow when the bassline goes low. A side-eye glance at the ones who don’t know, Your vinyl collection’s a curated glow. [Pre-Chorus] Abstract art on a thrift-store wall, Whisper lyrics like a cryptic call. The synth won’t judge your hollow pose— Just strike a stance as the feedback grows. [Chorus] Oh, plastic pearls in a velvet case, Dancing through the crowd with synthetic grace. New wave beats in a pretentious haze, We’re all too clever to phase. [Bridge] But the mirror cracks when the chorus fades, A flicker of doubt in the masquerade. Are we art or just a charade? The jangle hums—no answer made
