Lyric

Through the hiss of my old cassette

A local voice you won’t forget

I play my songs and watch you fade

Streaming idol, your shine betrayed

Faded labels, scratched-up tape

Afternoon sun on the record plays

While everywhere, a million streams

Can’t erase our analog dreams

I still rewind, I still play

You get lost in yesterday

Signals flicker, wires hum

The cassette wars have just begun

Cassette kills the streaming star

Spinning truth where the charts fall apart

Invisible ranks can’t touch our fate

Our analog fire won’t dissipate

Magnetic hearts that they can’t fake

The reel keeps turning, we won’t break

Bonus tracks in the quiet night

Soft reverb glows under dim light

Familiar melodies slip through

Screens can’t catch what we knew

Tape hiss sings, the speakers breathe

Digital streams can’t make us leave

Every click, every view, a fleeting war

But on my deck, I still hear the score

I still rewind, I still play

You get lost in yesterday

Signals flicker, wires hum

The cassette wars have just begun

Cassette kills the streaming star

Spinning truth where the charts fall apart

Invisible ranks can’t touch our fate

Our analog fire won’t dissipate

Magnetic hearts that they can’t fake

The reel keeps turning, we won’t break

Oh, your global shine, it fades

Our magnetic lines hold decades

Carry our stories, our midnight songs

They can’t erase what belongs

Cassette kills the streaming star

Spinning truth where the charts fall apart

Invisible ranks can’t touch our fate

Our analog fire won’t dissipate

Magnetic hearts that they can’t fake

The reel keeps turning, we won’t break

Through the hiss of my old cassette

The local voice you won’t forget

Even if the world streams on

The reel keeps turning, life goes on
