[Intro - 8 bit intro, builds anticipation] [Verse 1] What is this game? You versus me, Me versus you What do we win What do we lose Restart, respawn, reboot BOOM! (headshot) But you dodged that move I’m a villain And you a brute Ultimate combo Shields up, super suit [Pre-Chorus - builds momentum] We spin in time Power-ups activated Cross the line Now you’re captivated (slow deep male video game glitch voice: “devaSTATED”) I strike Should we call a truce Or should I use a boost (digital explosion, punch, kick sounds) Nothing to lose, except you You You You (you) [Chorus-mew tempo, thumping club beat] Level up Level up Level up Go Who’s the final boss Which one will let go? Another round you’re still alive (falsetto male voice “toasty!”) Another round yet I survive 1 UP (Super Mario 1 UP sound) 1 UP (Super Mario 1 UP sound) I rush in too I see too much red to care about you If I finally make it through Do I lose the game Or do I lose you? [Verse 2] “Round two.” FIGHT! We take our stance Game faces on Now you’ve got your chance I’m blind with pride BOOM— strong attack Telegraphed move Mid-airClose call collision Pixelated vision Health bar drained Must win the next round [Pre-Chorus] We spin in time Power-ups activated Cross the line Now you’re captivated I strike No possible truce I’ve got nothing to lose Except You You You You (you) [Chorus] Level up Level up Level up Go Who’s the final boss Which one will let go? Another round you’re still alive Another round yet I survive Level up Level up I rush in too My score is too high to care about you If I finally make it through Do I choose the game Or do I choose you?
