Lyrics:

[Verse 1] [Dream Pop]
Cobwebs cling to velvet skies  
Streetlights hum a lullaby  
(60 cycles in the wire)  
Is this real or just a show?  
Lipstick cracked on a porcelain cup  
Coffee cold from an hour ago

[Pre-Chorus] [Slow tempo - Tape wobble]
Cracked reflections in a darkened pane  
Neon buzzing in a pool of oil stain  
Lost in shadows, can't find my way  
The transformer hums through the walls today

[Interlude] 
Ooh-ahh, ooh-ahh  
(Wordless, ethereal, floating like smoke)

[Chorus] [Cold Synthwave/Noir - Detuned, slow, menacing]
We're all just dreamers in a waking sleep  
Lost in echoes, secrets we keep  
[Spoken underneath, barely audible: "The chrome reflects nothing..."]  
Who's the dreamer, behind the curtain?  
Living in frames that flicker uncertain

[Verse 2] [Lynchian Vibe - Industrial hum underneath]
Red curtains sway in a vacant hall  
A flickering bulb, 60 cycles and all  
Twisted faces in a smoky haze  
Lost in the highway's endless maze

[Pre-Chorus] [Slow tempo]
Cracked reflections in a darkened pane  
Neon buzzing in a pool of oil stain  
Lost in shadows, can't find my way  
The transformer hums through the walls today

[Interlude] [Wordless vocals - Distant, reverbed]
Ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh

[Chorus] [Cold Synthwave/Noir]
We're all just dreamers in a waking sleep  
Lost in echoes, secrets we keep  
[Spoken underneath: "The chrome reflects nothing..."]  
Who's the dreamer, behind the curtain?  
Living in frames that flicker uncertain

[Bridge] [Echoing Vocals - Distant, distorted]
Deeper and deeper, where the highway bends  
Unraveling truths that the map intends  
A whisper, a shadow, a flickering sign  
Are we just puppets on a 60-cycle line?  
Static speaks in a dial tone voice  
We have no choice, we have no choice

[Chorus] [Cold Synthwave/Noir - Heavier distortion, slower]
We're all just dreamers in a waking sleep  
Lost in echoes, secrets we keep  
Who's the dreamer, behind the curtain?  
Living in frames that flicker uncertain

[Outro] [Fade into machinery]
Dreaming, dreaming, 60 cycles hum  
Into the static, where the wires strum  
Who is the dreamer?  
Who is the dreamer?  
[Spoken, fading to silence: "The coffee's getting cold..."]  
[10 seconds of 60hz electrical hum/room tone - then cut to black]
