歌詞

Two-thirty AM, bathed in cathode ray blue

Another fatal error, an obstacle I can't undo

My HP is draining, a pixelated bleed

Stuck in the tutorial of a life I can't lead

The rules of this society are written in code

But I’m constantly tripping on the easiest road

No save points left in this miserable stage

Trapped in the corner of a digital cage

The timer is blinking, it's flashing blood red

A choir of game-overs ringing inside of my head

Continue for one coin, a copper-plated prayer!

Dancing on the edge of a glitchy despair

I’ll mash all the buttons to rewrite my fate

Before the screen blackens and tells me I'm late

A one-way ticket to a 16-bit hell

I'm fighting the boss, but I'm under a spell

Just give me a chance to respawn in the night!

Avoiding the taxes and unread replies

They swarm like the zombies with glowing red eyes

I thought I could level up, maybe next year

But the skill tree is barren, replaced by my fear

A critical hit from a casual text

I’m dropping my controller, what the hell happens next?

No cheat codes to enter, no up-up-down-down

The saddest protagonist in this ghost town

The timer is blinking, it's flashing blood red

A choir of game-overs ringing inside of my head

Continue for one coin, a copper-plated prayer!

Dancing on the edge of a glitchy despair

I’ll mash all the buttons to rewrite my fate

Before the screen blackens and tells me I'm late

A one-way ticket to a 16-bit hell

I'm fighting the boss, but I'm under a spell

Just give me a chance to respawn in the night!

If life is a simulation, who holds the pad?

Why is the storyline relentlessly sad?

Am I the hero, or just an NPC?

A background character lost in the sea

I don't need a princess, I don't need a crown!

Just stop the whole system from breaking me down!

Continue for one coin, a copper-plated prayer!

Dancing on the edge of a glitchy despair

I’ll mash all the buttons to rewrite my fate

Before the screen blackens and tells me I'm late

A one-way ticket to a 16-bit hell

I'm fighting the boss, but I'm under a spell

Just give me a chance to respawn in the night!
