TIME IS TAKING PICTURES (Try-out) Lyrics by MIIKA (c) February 2026 ========= "I just found this box Filled with polaroid memories When time is slippin’ by I wonder when these were taken…" Neon nights and Polaroid skies, Every laugh, every tear we hide, City breathing in electric light, Frozen in a frame of black and white. Cassette dreams in a dashboard glow, Every high, every low we know Footsteps echo down memory lane, Leaves a little color in the grain. Time is taking pictures Every day Turning every heartbeat into color and grey Yeah, Time is taking pictures Every day Turning every heartbeat into color and grey Roller skates on cracked cement, Every word we never meant Radio rebels in the dark, Still leaves a little spark. Mirrorball of what we’ve been, Shattered light, blue and green Every loss and every win Just makes the music thin Time is taking pictures Every day Turning every heartbeat into color and grey Yeah, Time is taking pictures Every day Turning every heartbeat into color and grey Yeah…yeah… Flip the script, let the record spin, Flashy moments with a discipline, Good days, bad days, let ‘em in But I don’t let the ghosts tell me where I’ve been. Archive pain, but I don’t replay Every mistake like a cliché, Lessons in the frame? ….Okay. But I’m steering this ride on a new highway. Past in my pocket, I cannot change, New ideas with a lot of range, Time takes pics but I move the lens Turn regret into making sense. Click-click, hear that shutter snap? That’s growth in a vintage wrap. Memory’s art, yeah that’s a fact But I choose the future, and that is that. Flash Flash We glow, we grow, We let it go. Time is taking pictures Every day Turning every heartbeat into color and grey Yeah, Time is taking pictures Every day Turning every heartbeat into color and grey "Click. Flash. Another memory in motion. Hold the picture But keep moving...."
