[Verse 1] Booting up the daylight, pixels in the sky Glitches on the skyline, colors amplified Warning lights are flashing, sirens start to sing Something in the code base doing more than just a ping [Pre-Chorus] Zeroes, ones collide, in a chain reaction Data starts to slide, into chain refraction Countdown in my chest, ticking in my core 8-bit in my veins, hear the world restore [Chorus] 8-bit atomic, lighting up the night World goes retro in a neon blast of light Every city, every shadow, every song Turns to pixels when the big byte drops, so strong 8-bit atomic, hear the chiptune boom Glowing sprites are dancing in the pixel bloom When the payload hits and everything resets We’re a game world now, and we’re not done yet [Verse 2] High scores on the radar, targets locked in place Bitmaps of the oceans, gridlines on your face Mushroom clouds of color rising overhead But we just respawn, can’t pretend that we are dead [Pre-Chorus] Frames begin to shake, in a chain reaction Ground begins to break, in a bright abstraction Shockwaves in the code, echo through the core 8-bit on the wind, we’re not analog anymore [Chorus] 8-bit atomic, lighting up the night World goes retro in a neon blast of light Every skyline, every river, every song Turns to pixels when the big byte drops, so strong 8-bit atomic, hear the chiptune boom Glowing sprites are dancing in the pixel bloom When the payload hits and everything resets We’re a game world now, and we’re not done yet [Bridge] Overloaded, re-encoded, every heart a tiny screen Lines of color, rolling thunder, in a low-res lucid dream Press start on the ruins, see the flashing "GO" Life becomes a level and we’re ready for the show (yeah) [Chorus] 8-bit atomic, lighting up the night World goes retro in a neon blast of light Every heartbeat, every memory, every song Turns to pixels when the big byte drops, so strong 8-bit atomic, hear the chiptune boom Glowing sprites are dancing in the pixel bloom When the payload hits and everything resets We’re a pixel world now, and we’re not done yet
