About
This is way out of my wheelhouse, since I usually do sixties and seventies stuff, but I just had this come to my head and well.. here is my attempt at 1980s chiptune influenced synthpop.
Lyrics
Verse 1
They say that analog souls aren't in vogue
They say that you're not "digital" enough
They say that you're not vain enough
People just don't get what you do
No, they don't get what you do.
Pre-Chorus
Read between the lines they say
It'll do you good in life
But they just don't understand that things
Are not just black and white
"What's wrong with you?" they say
But you know that there's nothing wrong with you.
Chorus
You're an analog soul in a digital world
Plagued by monetization of everything you see
It's a classic trope of things that bother you and me
Nothing really feels real anymore.
Nothing really feels physical anymore
Nothing really feels tactile anymore.
Nothing feels real.
Verse 2
Dating apps monetize human connection
Delivery apps monetize things you buy for a price
It feels cruel, but that's just how it is
Neurodivergent in a neurotypical world
We navigate things differently
But you'll see things from my perspective one day.
Pre-Chorus
Read between the lines they say
It'll do you good in life
But they just don't understand that things
Are not just black and white
"What's wrong with you?" they say
But you know that there's nothing wrong with you.
Chorus
You're an analog soul in a digital world
Plagued by monetization of everything you see
It's a classic trope of things that bother you and me
Nothing really feels real anymore.
Nothing really feels physical anymore
Nothing really feels tactile anymore.
Nothing feels real.
Bridge
One day they'll all see
The folly of their digital prison
Subscriptions can't kill the physical need
The need for things that feel tactile and real
Things that spark you joy in just having them
Having them (Having them)
Having them (Having them)
Having them..
Because..
Chorus
You're an analog soul in a digital world
Plagued by monetization of everything you see
It's a classic trope of things that bother you and me
Nothing really feels real anymore.
Nothing really feels physical anymore
Nothing really feels tactile anymore.
Nothing feels real.
