[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Sipping espresso in a thrifted velvet coat,
Name-dropping Kierkegaard just to float a quote.
Your Polaroid smile hides a celluloid soul,
We’re jangling guitars but missing the rock ’n’ roll.
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re so profound in our shallow seas,
Dancing in analog, begging to please.
New wave haircuts and a borrowed groove,
Pretension’s the anthem when there’s nothing to prove.
[Verse 2]
You wrote a haiku about postmodern decay,
But your vintage synth just loops the same café.
Strut through the crowd with a monocle glare,
Whispering sonnets to nobody there.
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re so profound in our shallow seas,
Dancing in analog, begging to please.
New wave haircuts and a borrowed groove,
Pretension’s the anthem when there’s nothing to prove.
[Bridge]
Crimson lipstick stains on a tattered manifesto,
We’re all depthless stars in a neon rodeo.
The mirrorball spins, but the truth’s in the cracks—
A caricature chorus, no melody back.
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re so profound in our shallow seas,
Dancing in analog, begging to please.
New wave haircuts and a borrowed groove,
Pretension’s the anthem when there’s nothing to prove.
[Outro]
