[Intro]
Static on the line, a love declined
Digital traces left behind
Brass notes stutter like a broken file
While memories fade away in style
[Verse 1]
Caught your secret in my inbox late one night
Cold blue screen revealed what wasn't right
Delete, delete, but can't erase the pain
Like scratched vinyl spinning through my brain
Damn technology, it showed me everything
Now jazz ain't sweet like it used to sing
[Chorus]
In this digital decay
Memories slip away
Like broken files we fade to grey
Love ain't what it used to be
Since machines showed you to me
Baby, what's real anymore?
[Verse 2]
Remember rehearsals in that smoky room
Your lipstick on my trumpet, sweet perfume
Now all I've got is ones and zeros, dear
Cold hard facts that brought me here
The band plays on but something's wrong
These perfect notes just don't belong
[Bridge]
Henri warned me 'bout this soulless age
Where passion dies on a backlit page
These clean-cut rhythms ain't got no heart
Since algorithms tore us apart
Oh Sophie, what have we become?
Just data lost when day is done
[Verse 3]
Polynesian rhythms fight against the code
Like ancient spirits on a digital road
Your unfinished phrase still haunts this place
While servers store our fall from grace
Each glitch and skip tells tales of you
Of what was false and what was true
[Chorus]
In this digital decay
Memories slip away
Like broken files we fade to grey
Love ain't what it used to be
Since machines showed you to me
Baby, what's real anymore?
[Outro]
Static on the line, a love declined
Just fragments now, all left behind
These jazz notes stutter, then fade to black
Like corrupted files we can't get back
Delete, delete... but still you stay
A ghost in my hard drive, fading away
