Press Play

Lyrics

PRESS PLAY [Intro — chopped / whispered] Blue-screen halo, chrome on my skin, 404 heartbeat— let me in. Pixel blood on a bathroom mirror, your face gets closer when the signal gets clearer. Three… two… one… PRESS PLAY. [Verse 1] Black nail polish, laser eyes, JPEG heaven in a parking-lot sky, Your silver chain cuts through the smoke, You look like a glitch that somebody broke. Lip gloss shining like a warning flare, Static electricity in your bleached-out hair, Your profile hits like a flashbang white, I wanna screenshot you all night. [Pre-Chorus] Chrome heart, cracked screen, You're the prettiest bug I've ever seen. No password, no escape— Drag me into your interface. [Chorus] PRESS PLAY, PRESS PLAY, Make the whole damn system shake. PRESS PLAY, PRESS PLAY, Watch my little heart pixelate. Pink flash, black lace, Laser tears across my face, If you want me, don't hesitate— PRESS PLAY. [Post-Chorus — glitch vocals] P-P-P-PLAY— buffering my body. P-P-P-PLAY— pretty, toxic, glossy. P-P-P-PLAY— love me at a higher frame rate. CLICK. FLASH. BOOM. PRESS PLAY. [Verse 2] Your eyes look ultraviolet, My pulse goes 808 violent, Bass hits hard, my teeth go numb, You say “come here” and the synths explode. Mirrorball fractured into ninety-nine, Every broken piece makes you look divine, Sweat like diamonds, teeth like chrome, Two pretty boys turning the club to a throne. We don't need permission tonight, We're radioactive under strobe lights, Everybody staring like we're breaking the law— Maybe being beautiful is what they're scared of. [Pre-Chorus] Chrome heart, cracked screen, You're the prettiest bug I've ever seen. No password, no escape— Drag me into your interface. [Chorus] PRESS PLAY, PRESS PLAY, Make the whole damn system shake. PRESS PLAY, PRESS PLAY, Watch my little heart pixelate. Pink flash, black lace, Laser tears across my face, If you want me, don't hesitate— PRESS PLAY. [Bridge — beat drops out] I was a boy in a locked room, dreaming in electric blue. Now the door is neon pink, and everybody knows my truth. No more hiding in the dark. No more cutting out the parts that made me strange, that made me beautiful. [Glitch build] Upload me. Corrupt me. Duplicate me. Love me. [DROP] [Final Chorus] PRESS PLAY, PRESS PLAY, Turn the city into chrome. PRESS PLAY, PRESS PLAY, I don't wanna go back home. Black boots, pink haze, Queer little apocalypse. If this is a mistake— I want it this way. PRESS PLAY. [Outro — chopped vocals] P-p-p-pixelated… F-f-f-fascinated… L-l-l-love me like a glitch you can't delete. Press play. Press play. Press—
