Time Travel Gene
Atmospheric four-on-the-floor electro-pop with tight punchy kick on every beat, shuffling hi-hats, rubbery sidechained bass groove, swelling synth pads breathing around the rhythm, subtle retro-futuristic arps, and spaced-out effects creating a time-warped club feel. Vocals are slightly filtered, distant and lo-fi like an old transmission, with breathy, halting German-inflected delivery that stays clear and magical, airy delays and reverbs trailing off into the mix, gradual builds into explosive drops, and a hypnotic, driving dance-floor momentum.

Lyrics
Verse 1
If I had a flying DeLorean tonight
I’d chase every era underneath neon lights
Would I see pyramids rise from the sand?
Or future cities no human could plan?
Would my children’s children remember my face?
Would we conquer the stars... or all fade without trace?
Tell me where are the limits — where do they end?
If time is a circle... will we meet again?
(breathy echo)
Again... again...
Pre-Chorus
I wanna run through the age of the Vikings
Stand where the first stars started igniting
Could I save the Titanic from sinking below?
If I witnessed the beginning — what would I kno-o-ow?
(slow vocal fall-off)
What would I know...?
Know... know...
Chorus
Dammit, I need that time-travel gene
Take me to tomorrow, to somewhere between
Throw me inside of a beautiful black hole
Launch me through centuries out of control
Today in the here
Tomorrow in the yesterday
Yesterday in the tomorrow
Carry me awaaay...
(layered echoes)
“Away... away...”
“Yesterday...”
“Tomorrow...”
Verse 2
I stare at the sky and wonder whaaat came befo-o-ore
Did my bloodline survive every kingdom and war?
Would my ancestors laugh if they saw me toniiight?
Or cry at the glow of these artificial lights?
And hundreds of years from now — what will remain?
Will the whole world unite... or repeat every pain?
I keep hearing echoes calling out my na-a-ame
Like time doesn’t move in a straight little lane...
(echoes)
“Lane... lane...”
“Your name... your name...”
Pre-Chorus 2
I wanna dance in forgotten dimensions
Hear ancient voices inside my reflections
Would the future feel colder or warmer somehow?
If I opened the timeline right no-o-ow...
Chorus
Dammit, I need that time-travel gene
Take me to tomorrow, to somewhere between
Throw me inside of a beautiful black hole
Launch me through centuries out of control
Today in the here
Tomorrow in the yesterday
Yesterday in the tomorrow
Carry me awaaay...
Bridge
(drums intensify — emotional vocal peak)
Maybe time isn’t meant to be touched
Maybe humans just dream too much
But my heart starts racing every night
Thinking somewhere there’s another life
Another me in another age
Writing these words on a different page
Screaming my name into infinite skies
While history burns and the future arrives...
(high emotional belt)
ARRIIIIIVES—
Final Chorus
Dammit, I need that time-travel gene
I wanna live every life in between
Give me the fire, the fear, the unknown
Every lost timeline calling me home
Today in the here
Tomorrow in the yesterday
Yesterday in the tomorrow
Don’t let this moment fade awaaay...
(huge layered harmonies)
“Away...”
“Yesterday...”
“Tomorrow...”
“Time travel gene...”
(soft piano ending)
Ohhh...
Mm-mm...
