Velvet Pretensions

[Intro] [Verse 1] Sipping espresso in a thrifted blazer, Name-drop Sartre while I tune my chorus later. Mirror-check poses in a neon haze, Monocle opinions on the post-punk phase. [Chorus] Oh, we’re so oblique, speaking in cursive tongues, Dropping obscure bands from 1981. Strut through the scene in a vintage coat, A walking museum of the songs we quote. [Verse 2] Laugh at the normies through a film noir lens, Quote Kerouac lines to impress my trends. My vinyl collection’s a curated shrine, But the bassline’s borrowed from a better time. [Bridge] I’ll dissect your playlist with a surgeon’s blade, Then write a haiku ’bout the mess I’ve made. Aesthetes in orbit, we orbit alone, Pretension’s the anthem we’ve overgrown. [Chorus] Oh, we’re so oblique, speaking in cursive tongues, Dropping obscure bands from 1981. Strut through the scene in a vintage coat, A walking museum of the songs we quote. [Outro]
