Lyrics
A flickering ghost in a digital land
Yeah, they're searching for me in the static and the sand
A broken radio on a lost wavelength
I'm a glitch in a hologram
Data streams, fever dreams, what does it all mean?
Scrolling past a memory, a lost-and-found scene
Got the server running hot, a pixelated heart
Every beat's a system crash, tearing me apart
The signal's getting weak, the message is a blur
Am I a bug, or is this all just what it was?
Yeah, the code is getting scrambled, the sky is turning grey
I just wanna reboot, throw it all away
But in the silence of the static glow
There's a whisper from a long time ago
Did you see the sunrise through the wire?
Setting everything on fire?
I'm just a glitch in a hologram
A flickering ghost in a digital land
Yeah, they're searching for me in the static and the sand
A broken radio on a lost wavelength
I'm a glitch in a hologram
I remember when the colors used to feel like more
Before the algorithms took over every store
Left my analog soul on a factory floor
Now I'm just an echo, rattling at your door
Is the sky even real? Or is it just a screen?
Another cheap projection, another faded scene
I'm a ghost in the machine, a whisper in the feed
Spitting out the wires of a dying creed
But in the silence of the static glow
There's a whisper from a long time ago
Did you see the sunrise through the wire?
Setting everything on fire?
I'm just a glitch in a hologram
A flickering ghost in a digital land
Yeah, they're searching for me in the static and the sand
A broken radio on a lost wavelength
I'm a glitch in a hologram!
Static-static-static-static-static-static-static-sand...
Can you-can you hear me? Where where where do I stand?
Lost in the wires, lost in the...
Land-land-land-land-land...
Looking for a... a-a-a-a-a-answer in the data...
Is this... is this all there is? Is this all there...
Yeah-yeah-yeah... what's the plan? What is the plan?
(I'm just a...) glitch… a... gl-gl-glitch...
(In a...) ho-ho-ho... hologram...
(The signal... is breaking...)
(Searching...) (Searching...) (Lost...) (Static...)
(The system is crashing...)
I'm just a glitch in a hologram!
(Lost my signal! Lost my signal!)
A flickering ghost in a digital land
(Can you hear me? Can you hear me now?)
Yeah, they're searching for me in the static and the sand
(Where are you? Where are you?)
A broken radio on a lost wavelength
(Just a ghost in the static!)
I'm a glitch in a hologram!
(Is this... is this... the end?)
