Velvet Superiority

[Intro] [Verse 1] Velvet blazer, vintage shades, Sipping espresso that nobody made. I quote Kierkegaard in the checkout line, But my vinyl collection’s just for show, not spine. [Chorus] Oh, we’re so profound in monochrome hues, Dancing to chords that we never quite use. The mirror reflects what we’re desperate to hide— A symphony of egos, hollow inside. [Verse 2] Name-drop French films from the ’60s at brunch, Mispronounce “Bauhaus” while craving a crunch. Your typewriter’s dusty, your manifesto’s a tweet, We’re pioneers of nothing but self-deceit. [Chorus] Oh, we’re so profound in monochrome hues, Dancing to chords that we never quite use. The mirror reflects what we’re desperate to hide— A symphony of egos, hollow inside. [Bridge] Razor-sharp collars and polysyllabic lies, Our authenticity’s a costume in disguise. The jangle fades out, the synths lose their sheen— A punchline no one hears, just the pose in between. [Chorus] Oh, we’re so profound in monochrome hues, Dancing to chords that we never quite use. The mirror reflects what we’re desperate to hide— A symphony of egos, hollow inside. [Outro]
