[Silence]
[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro – Ominous]
[Low Synth Drone, Distorted Bass Pulse, Glitch Percussion]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Whispered Vocal]
Welcome back…
(You insisted)
From the past…
(You rewrote it)
Welcome to…
(The future)
(You predicted)
[Glitch Hit → Organ Stab → Sub Drop]
[Verse 1]
Chrome reflections
(Crack and bend)
Every promise
(Meant to mend)
Progress marching
(Perfect pitch)
Every upgrade
(Comes with a glitch)
[Build: Distorted Synth Arpeggio, Feedback Guitar Swell]
[Chorus]
Retro future
(Shadow cast)
Built too bright
(It burned too fast)
Circuits humming
(Through the night)
Neon halos
(Flicker white)
We ran ahead
(No map in hand)
Now we stand
(On shifting sand)
[Instrumental – Mechanical Groove]
[Industrial Drum Pattern, Bass Grind, Synth Static Sweep]
[Verse 2]
Memory sold
(Clouded skies)
Filtered truth
(Optimized)
Infinite scroll
(Endless feed)
Harvested want
(Engineered need)
You said “endure”
(So we did)
But what survived
(And what was hid?)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Percussion Drops to Heartbeat Kick]
[Sub Bass Throb, Whispered Layers]
Did you hear…
(The silence grow?)
Did you see…
(The afterglow?)
Future perfect?
(Define “perfect.”)
Every system
(Has a circuit.)
[Snare March Returns — Slower, Heavier]
[Refrain – Dark Call & Response]
Welcome back
(To the cost)
Welcome forward
(At what loss?)
From the past
(We carried flame)
To the future
(Not the same)
[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo — Angular, Dissonant]
[Synth Lead — Warped, Slightly Detuned]
[Final Chorus – Bigger, Tense Harmony]
Retro future
(Shadow wide)
All that glittered
(Had a side)
Steel and signal
(Built the throne)
Now the echo
(Stands alone)
We came on fast
(No more slack)
But every leap
(Pulls something back)
[Outro – Sparse, Uneasy]
[Organ Drone, Fading Bass Pulse]
Welcome to…
(The future)
For sure…
(Endure…)
Did you hear?
(To be clear…)
The present is very, very…
(Near.)
