[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Sip your coffee black, quote Proust in the dark,
French film on your sleeve, but it’s just for the art.
You wear borrowed phrases like a vintage coat,
A symphony of mirrors on a one-note boat.
[Chorus]
Oh, Velvet Pretender, your chords ring so hollow,
Jangle-pop crown, but your feet never follow.
New wave disguise, synth tears in the rain,
You’re a paperback hero with a library lane.
[Verse 2]
Name-drop Nietzsche, but you’ve never read a page,
Your vinyl collection’s just a curated stage.
Monocle monocle, oh, what’s the view?
A kaleidoscope ego in a black-and-white hue.
[Chorus]
Oh, Velvet Pretender, your chords ring so hollow,
Jangle-pop crown, but your feet never follow.
New wave disguise, synth tears in the rain,
You’re a paperback hero with a library lane.
[Bridge]
Sculpt your aura sharp, but it bends in the light,
A postmodern haiku that just won’t rhyme right.
You’re a sidewalk café with no espresso machine,
A metaphor too loud, but you’re lost in the scene.
[Chorus]
Oh, Velvet Pretender, your chords ring so hollow,
Jangle-pop crown, but your feet never follow.
New wave disguise, synth tears in the rain,
You’re a paperback hero with a library lane.
[Outro]
