[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Sipping espresso through a monocle glare,
Polished syllables float in the vintage air.
Strut in a blazer with elbow patches sewn,
Quoting French poets in a condescending tone.
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re so avant-garde, dancing in the dark,
With a plastic crown and a borrowed remark.
Jangle-pop dreams on a neon-lit stage,
Pretension’s the script for this cynical age.
[Verse 2]
Name-drop Kierkegaard while the synth lines repeat,
Smirking at norms from my highbacked seat.
Glossy magazines in a thrift-store hand,
Irony’s the brand that you’ll never understand.
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re so avant-garde, dancing in the dark,
With a plastic crown and a borrowed remark.
Jangle-pop dreams on a neon-lit stage,
Pretension’s the script for this cynical age.
[Bridge]
The vinyl crackles with a sigh of disdain,
We’re all just clichés in a feedback refrain.
But the mirror winks as the chorus takes flight—
Maybe pretension’s the only truth we got right.
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re so avant-garde, dancing in the dark,
With a plastic crown and a borrowed remark.
Jangle-pop dreams on a neon-lit stage,
Pretension’s the script for this cynical age.
[Outro]
