Your Not Ready

Lyrics

[Intro - slow cinematic choir swell, distant 808 pulse, vaporwave reverb-drenched female harmonies, rain-soaked atmosphere]
You’re not ready… (not ready)
Echoes in the hallway, static in your veins
You’re not ready… (not ready)
Neon ghosts keep calling but the signal never stays

[Verse 1 - trap hi-hats stuttering, deep 808 crawl, pitched-down rap, half-whispered delivery]
City lights bleeding through the blinds like open wounds
I been chasing dopamine in 4K cartoon rooms
Your reflection in the puddle got a crooked smile
Told me “run it back” but the loop been out of style
I can hear the sirens laughing every time I breathe
Purple clouds above me, static lace on every sleeve
Tried to call you yesterday, the number turned to snow
Left a message in the glitch, hope it finds you where you go

[Pre-Chorus - building tension, layered vaporwave choir, sidechained synths rising]
Every pixel’s got a secret, every secret got a price
You been dancing with the static, now the static’s getting nice
Heart rate synced to 808s, breathing in the haze
But the choir in the ceiling keeps repeating one phrase

[Chorus - dark anthemic drop, slow cinematic choir explodes, distorted vaporwave vocals, massive reverb bass]
You’re not ready for the midnight when the lights decide to die
Not ready for the silence when the echo says goodbye
You’re not ready for the version of yourself you left behind
Not ready when the waveform finally flattens out of time
You’re not ready… (not ready)
You’re not ready… (not ready)

[Verse 2 - trippy nu-hip-hop bounce, reversed samples, half-sung rap over low-filtered choir]
Blew a hundred on a dream that came in color-coded lies
Watched the credits roll in cursive on the inside of my eyes
Every friend became a stranger when the filter turned to grain
Now I’m talking to the ceiling like it’s keeping me from pain
You were golden in the daylight, silver when the moon arrived
But the VHS we burned is only static when revived
Told me “meet me in the static where the colors never end”
I arrived with open hands and found an empty FM band

[Bridge - stripped, distant piano loop, lone female vocal floating over sub-bass heartbeat]
If the signal ever clears… will you still know my name?
Or will the static swallow everything we tried to claim?
I’m not ready either, but the night don’t care for plans
So I keep the tape recorder running just to hear you in my hands

[Final Chorus - massive slow drop, full choir, pitch-shifted rap layered with vaporwave harmonies, cinematic strings swell]
You’re not ready for the silence when the echo learns to scream
Not ready when the waveform finally flattens into dream
You’re not ready for the version where the credits never roll
Not ready when the static learns the language of your soul
You’re not ready… (not ready)
You’re not ready… (not ready)

[Outro - fading cinematic choir, rain FX, distant 808 heartbeat dissolving into vinyl crackle]
You’re not ready…
You’re not ready…
(Static fades)
