Reflection in the Static

[Intro] [Verse 1] Flickering screens, old photos glow, Echoes of a younger me in the undertow. Scattered pixels trace the years gone by, A circuit heart asks, "Did I amplify?" Static whispers in the neon haze, Chasing dreams through the algorithm maze. Tempo shifts, but the rhythm remains, A fractured mirror holds my former names. [Chorus] Have I changed? (Have I changed?) Through the noise, through the frame— Did I make it? (Did I make it?) Or just rewrite the game? Growth is a shadow in the strobe light’s dance, A looped refrain—still worth the chance? [Verse 2] Code and cables, the path I’ve spun, Wires connect the person I’ve become. Neon scars where the doubts once burned, A synthwave pulse—how much have I learned? Glitches fade as the chorus climbs, A melody shaped by unfinished rhymes. The bassline thrums, "You’re not the same," But the screen still flickers with my oldest flame. [Chorus] Have I changed? (Have I changed?) Through the noise, through the frame— Did I make it? (Did I make it?) Or just rewrite the game? Growth is a shadow in the strobe light’s dance, A looped refrain—still worth the chance? [Bridge] The drop arrives—a reckoning b**t, A question sharp, yet bittersweet. The answers hum in the voltage veins, A silent chord where the truth remains. [Outro]
