Midnight static, neon tongue
I ride the freeway speaking in drums
Graffiti angels talk in rhyme
A candy riot, skipping time
Backseat prophet in a velvet cage
Flicker through the stations like a turning page
Sidewalk’s burning with a plastic beat
She sells dreams on a broken street
By the way, I lost my name
In a sideways city with electric rain
Tried to scream, but it came out sweet
Found my rhythm in the dirty heat
Tangerine silence, echo high
Sunglasses moonlight, blinking sky
Chalk on my fingers, pulse in my shoes
I'm a headline ghost with nothing to lose
Speed trap gospel on a tin can phone
Dancing with a signal I don’t own
Mirrorball logic, patchwork soul
She hums in static, takes control
By the way, I lost my name
In a sideways city with electric rain
Tried to scream, but it came out sweet
Found my rhythm in the dirty heat
Flip the switch, the moment breaks
Underneath the vinyl sky it shakes
No map, no plan, just vibes and sound
I spin ‘til the world stops turning ‘round
By the way, I found my flame
In a sideways city where no one’s tame
Tried to hide, but she saw through me
Now I’m dancing where I used to flee

Sideways City
Avenir
Sideways City dives into a neon-soaked dreamscape where identity dissolves in static and rhythm becomes survival.
Inspired by By the Way by Red Hot Chili Peppers, the track fuses psychedelic funk, rap-like verses, and soaring choruses to tell a story of losing-and reclaiming-yourself in a city that never sleeps.
With electric rain, candy-colored chaos, and back-alley prophets,
this is a sonic journey through a sideways world-where screams come out sweet and dancing becomes rebellion.
