So, this song is supposed to say "find yourself" and not "fin.d yourself" but the web site won't allow me to post "find yourself" in the lyrics spot. So I don't know.
Anywho, I stayed up all night writing this song and I'm exhausted and tired of fooling with it and the web site errors. If you read it and comment on it, thank you so much <3
(Verse 1)
Diamond dazzle go-go boots babe
Dancing through my empty mind
Leather jacket tattoos melting
Tastes so sweet like cherry pie
Neon lights will always flicker
Retro sadness, lost in time
Nineteen eighties, we'll remember
Love our patterns, paradigm
(Pre-Chorus 2x)
Whoa whoa whoa-oh
Whoa whoa whoa
(Instrumental Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Psychedelic love scene baby
Fin.d yourself on borrowed time
Watch out, Johnny McEnroe's here
And he won't stay behind the line
Empty eyes and fingertips will
Make bad judgements rule my mind
Man in black might have to ask you
Can your heartache walk the line
(Pre-Chorus 2x)
Whoa whoa whoa-oh
Whoa whoa whoa
(Instrumental Chorus)
(Verse 3)
I like disco, I like lemons
I love disco lemonade
Take a sip, it tastes so sweet your
Soul won't ever seem the same
Feel that stereo, it's pumpin'
Wu-Tang clan, protect ya neck
Feel how your heart fails at thumpin'
Send me postcards from what's next
(Pre-Chorus 2x)
Whoa whoa whoa-oh
Whoa whoa whoa
(Instrumental Chorus)
(Outro)

This conjures so many interesting images, a lot of them suggesting the screaming excesses and delights I associate with the 80s through my retro glasses. Like a sensory overload you're happy to experience. Nice shout out to the man in black!

I admit, I saw 80s and synthwave, thought about the fact that it was YOU with YOUR production quality, and got VERY excited lol
I don't think I've seen a lyric-only from you, but of course my memory is trash.
These have rhythm to them, and thanks to the tags you used, I can hear a lot. I like the 'whoa whoa' pre-chorus that is a staple of modern music inserted into what I hear in my head as some good 80s synthpop.
Digging the disco lemonade line - that's quite nice. The words you use are very vibrant and it adds to the music thats not really there.
Hope you plan on putting this to music. But even if not, still a great write.
How can just words make one wanna dance?

Tennis, Wu Tang, and the best closing lyric ever. Well done and happy FAWM!
@elesimo Feb 2022
Great lyrics here! I really liked the line "Send me postcards from what's next", it matches the retro feel of the song.

I'm gonna give you props 'n pounds for incorporating Wu into your lyrics. Being familiar with your studio production mastery I'm sure there is a bangin' track to compliment these fun lyrics. You hit me up when all components are synced. Cos you KNOW I wanna hear it!

clever use of 1984 both in how it was and how it was perceived to be! a great grab of words that fall together really well, i really like this. Its even better now! one of the best lyrics i have seen for a while
