Experimental electronic/art pop lyrics for clear, layered English female vocals, 118 BPM (pulled 12 BPM above the mid-range reference), A minor with unexpected major-mode swells. Core production: warped tape-loop modular synth textures, granular-processed field recordings of glass wind chimes instead of chopped vocal fragments, loosely polyrhythmic broken-beat drum programming, thick resonant sub-bass, soft reversed harp layers. Mood: quietly disorienting, tenderly nostalgic, liminal. Narrative follows a late-night janitor in a shuttered 2040s mall who discovers broken holographic displays projecting fragmented lost home videos; lyrics weave quiet wonder, faint uncanny unease, and the soft sadness of digital half-memories drifting through empty, glass-lined corridors. Keep melodic turns sharp and unexpected, wrap lines in hazy, close three-part harmonies.

Lyrics

[Intro]
[Verse]
Chrome and polished tile
Walk another mile
Faded plastic smile
Static for a while
Empty retail aisle
A digital profile
[Pre-Chorus]
The sensors start to hum
My fingers feeling numb
A rhythmic electric drum
From where did they come?
[Chorus]
Digital dust in the air
Someone is standing there
Pixels are thin and bare
Caught in a frozen stare
Memory starts to tear
Love is a heavy snare
[Post-Chorus]
It is beautiful
It is so unusual
It is purely optical
It is almost spiritual
[Verse]
Birthday candles glow
Videos from long ago
Faces I used to know
Softly the data flow
In the holographic show
Watch the children grow
[Pre-Chorus]
The sensors start to hum
My fingers feeling numb
A rhythmic electric drum
From where did they come?
[Chorus]
Digital dust in the air
Someone is standing there
Pixels are thin and bare
Caught in a frozen stare
Memory starts to tear
Love is a heavy snare
[Bridge]
The glass begins to chime
Outside of space and time
A steep and neon climb
Frozen in their prime
Washing away the grime
It is perfectly sublime
[Breakdown]
Reverse the harp string
Hear the metal ring
What does the ghost bring?
In the western wing
[Chorus]
Digital dust in the air
Someone is standing there
Pixels are thin and bare
Caught in a frozen stare
Memory starts to tear
Love is a heavy snare
[Outro]
