Analog Dream

LimeWire downloads viruses for days
iPod hidden in your hoodie through the hallways
Flip phone texting while not looking
Myspace top eight drama got us all shook then

We lived that analog dream (hey)
Nothing's quite what it seems (hey)
Now we're caught in between
What we were and this machine
Analog dream (hey)
Analog dream (hey)

Burning CDs late at night with Sharpie names intact
Facebook when it wasn't ads and added contracts
YouTube without ads every thirty seconds long
Before TikTok algorithms told us we were wrong

We live that analog dream (hey)
Nothing's quite what it seems (hey)
Now we're caught in between
What we were and this machine
Analog dream (hey)
Analog dream (hey)

Remember when we weren't the bait
No influencers salivate
Just payment away, message is clear
When the internet sounds sincere

Gameboy color hidden under blankets in the night
Wikipedia holes until we saw the morning light
When memes were inside jokes shared between our crew
Before they sold our childhood back to me and you

We lived that analog dream
Before they broke the scene
And now we're stuck in between digital chains and what we've been
Analog dream
Analog dream
That analog dream
That abalog dream
