Write synthpop lyrics for a reverb-drenched male vocal, BPM 115, F# minor mode, built around Juno analog synths, 808 drum machines, distorted Game Boy chiptune bleeps, and warped saxophone samples, with a 1-minute acid house detour in the bridge. The narrative follows a rogue time-travel tourist who accidentally got stranded in 1997 suburban Ohio, selling hacked 90s rave flyers that contain hidden portal codes to get back home. Lean into whimsical melancholy euphoria, lacing verses with vivid imagery of flickering neon convenience store signs, sticky arcade carpet, and half-erased future memories. Weave in dry, deadpan humor about his botched vacation and quiet longing for his timeline, with a snappy, catchy chorus that leans into 80s synthpop hook sensibilities.

歌詞

[Intro]
[Verse]
Took a wrong turn at the moon
Now I’m stuck in this afternoon
Dayton smells like rain and fries
Static in my digital eyes
My hover-board is out of juice
In this town there is no use
Just a tourist lost in space
With a very confused face
[Pre-Chorus]
Printing flyers in the back
Hiding what the locals lack
Binary in the neon glow
Ready for the final show
[Chorus]
Lost in suburban drift
Looking for a temporal shift
Ninety-seven feels so slow
Where did all the future go?
Trading codes for a ride
With the 808 on my side
Ohio is a neon dream
Ripping through the fabric seam
[Post-Chorus]
Scan the flyer
Take me higher
Scan the flyer
I’m a liar
[Verse]
Blockbuster has a certain smell
Is this heaven or is this hell?
The arcade carpet sticks to shoes
I’ve got the interdimensional blues
The dial-up sound is pure torture
I’m a glitchy cosmic scorcher
Selling dreams at the local rave
Just to find the exit I crave
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows on the strip mall wall
Waiting for the mother-call
Ink is wet upon the page
Breaking out of this golden cage
[Chorus]
Lost in suburban drift
Looking for a temporal shift
Ninety-seven feels so slow
Where did all the future go?
Trading codes for a ride
With the 808 on my side
Ohio is a neon dream
Ripping through the fabric seam
[Bridge]
3-0-3 is calling me
Acid sets the spirit free
Binary heart in a box
Turning all the temporal locks
Push the button, start the sequence
Losing all my human defense
Spinning in a silver light
Leaving Ohio tonight
[Verse]
The 7-Eleven sign is cracked
My bags are already packed
I miss the cities in the clouds
Away from these flannel crowds
One more flyer left to sell
One more story left to tell
The portal opens in the park
Right before it gets too dark
[Chorus]
Lost in suburban drift
Looking for a temporal shift
Ninety-seven feels so slow
Where did all the future go?
Trading codes for a ride
With the 808 on my side
Ohio is a neon dream
Ripping through the fabric seam
[Post-Chorus]
Scan the flyer
Take me higher
Scan the flyer
I’m a liar
[Outro]
