Burn the Polaroids
Punk rock / emo revival, energetic guitars, fast drums, sarcastic and emotional male vocals, catchy chorus with gang shouts "oh-oh yeah-yeah", dynamic verses with slightly theatrical delivery, big anthemic bridge, polished but raw band sound, tempo ~150 BPM.

Lyrics
Verse 1
I kept the ticket from that night we burned the sky,
Your lipstick stains still laughing, but it’s all a lie.
We were a tragedy dressed up in leather dreams,
Shouting promises louder than the TV screams.
Pre-Chorus
And maybe I’m the villain in your history,
But I’d rather be the ghost than your symphony.
Chorus
So strike a match and burn the Polaroids,
Erase the soundtrack of the noise.
We’re just a headline with no story,
Two lost kids chasing borrowed glory.
Verse 2
You said forever like a punchline in a song,
But forever’s just another word for wrong.
I see your shadow in the cracks of every street,
But your memory’s a fire I refuse to keep.
Pre-Chorus
And maybe we were wired for catastrophe,
But the silence feels louder than your melody.
Chorus
So strike a match and burn the Polaroids,
Erase the soundtrack of the noise.
We’re just a headline with no story,
Two lost kids chasing borrowed glory.
Bridge
Oh-oh, yeah-yeah (crowd shout feel)
I don’t regret, I just rewind,
Our broken record stuck in time.
Oh-oh, yeah-yeah, we can’t escape,
But let’s pretend it’s not too late!
Final Chorus
Strike a match and burn the Polaroids,
Erase the soundtrack of the noise.
We’re just a headline with no story,
Two lost kids chasing borrowed glory.
Yeah—two lost kids chasing borrowed glory!
