Lyrics I wrote for a song of mine called "A Glitch In Time" where I tried to find common ground between my generation and the new generation. Give them a read and tell me what you think!
[A Glitch In Time lyrics] [Copyrighted Gregory M Conley]
Verse 1
I remember static on the VCR
Wishing on a satellite, a distant star
We passed the secret notes in crowded hallways
Now you send a lightning bolt across the fiber-optic pathways
I had a pocket full of quarters, chasing ghosts across a screen
You build a universe of avatars, a hyper-color scene
Pre-Chorus
They say we're speaking different tongues
From different galaxies we're sprung
But when the city lights ignite
I see the same old hopeful fight
Chorus
Oh, you've got that fire in your eyes
Beneath these simulated skies
It's the same hunger, a different age
Just trying to turn a brand new page
Don't let 'em tell you we're worlds apart
It's the same rebel, rebel heart
Verse 2
My future was a thriller, written in the news
Your future is a thread you can't afford to lose
I learned to wait for everything, the phone call or the song
You live inside the algorithm, where you've been all along
Maybe my nostalgia is a language you don't speak
But I recognize the passion burning brightly in your cheek
Pre-Chorus
They say we're reading different lines
From different eras, different times
But when the driving bass drum starts
I feel the beat of kindred hearts
Chorus
Oh, you've got that fire in your eyes
Beneath these simulated skies
It's the same hunger, a different age
Just trying to turn a brand new page
Don't let 'em tell you we're worlds apart
It's the same rebel, rebel heart
Outro
The same rebel heart...
A glitch in time...
The same... rebel heart...
