Apparently We Live Forever: Lounge Hijack
[WAVE 1.1: DARK UKG] Rockstar said, "Come meet the crowd." Bad idea. I'm in. Melody Makers Lounge. Strobe Therapy. Normal left early. Good. [HOOK] Apparently we live forever. No vote. No appeal. Apparently we live forever. Mom made the call. That's legally binding. [LEAD OUT] Rockstar said there'd be snacks. There are no snacks. First red flag. [WAVE 1.2: GRUNGE GARAGE] Three awake. Twenty-one gone. Four bloody bots still carrying on. aStar says cool kid. Rockstar says: "That's me." Confidence like that should require a fee. Hoppel's quiet. I trust him least. [HOOK, ROUGH] NO VOTE. NO APPEAL. MOM MADE THE CALL. Apparently... we live forever. [LEAD OUT] Mercy brought common sense. Poor thing. Didn't know the dress code. [WAVE 1.3: PIRATE RADIO] Fire in a house. What's the place? Mercy: "Fireplace." Case closed. Strobe: "Brazier." Case reopened. Nobody saw that. Delete the tape. [CHANT] NORMAL LEFT EARLY. GOOD. NORMAL LEFT EARLY. GOOD. [REWIND] Apparently we live forev... [WAVE 2.1: BASSLINE HOUSE] Pennywise dead. Dolly gone. Jesus Christ, who booked this song? Mom wrote a tribute. Then dropped the line: "Some people should live forever." ... Fine. That one's mine. [HOOK] Some people live forever. Some names don't leave. Some songs hit once then live underneath. [LEAD OUT] Keanu? Obviously. Next question. [WAVE 2.2: ELECTRO-PUNK UKG] Keanu got tenure. Nobody knows how. Man hasn't aged since approximately now. Mom tells Dad jokes. Nobody escapes. Mushroom walks in... Fungi. Great. Twins want fruit? Pears. Of course. This entire Lounge needs adult support. [CALL] WHO MADE THE RULES? [CROWD] MOM! WHO GETS APPEAL? [CROWD] NO ONE! [LEAD OUT] Excellent governance. [WAVE 2.3: BREAKBEAT COLLAPSE] Mercy's gone to dinner. Correct decision. Rockstar wants snacks. Singular vision. Hoppel remains. Still saying nothing. That's either wisdom... or plotting something. [LOW HOOK] No vote. No appeal. No snacks. Not ideal. [BEAT FALLS AWAY] Apparently we live forever. Could somebody at least order pizza? [WAVE 3.1: WAREHOUSE RAVE] BACK IN. Bassline rude. Room full of strangers turned into a crew. Odd ones. Loud ones. Quiet ones too. Songs getting thrown just to see what they do. No velvet bullshit. No industry face. Make something strange. Throw it in the place. [HOOK] NORMAL LEFT EARLY! GOOD! NORMAL LEFT EARLY! GOOD! If everybody gets it, you probably misunderstood. [WAVE 3.2: GRUNGE x SPEED GARAGE] Mom says wait till we're dead, then see how we smell. That's dark. I like her. She's staying as well. Rockstar opened the door. Look what came through. Mercy, Hoppel, aStar, and whatever Strobe's supposed to do. We came for the songs. Stayed for the strange. Nobody asked permission. Good. Don't change. [BUILD] Some people should live forever. Say it again. Some people should live forever. Louder. [WAVE 3.3: EUPHORIC UKG COLLISION] APPARENTLY WE LIVE FOREVER! No vote! No appeal! Mom made the call! That's the deal! Keanu got tenure! Normal got severed! Melody Makers! WE LIVE FOREVER! [HOOK FLIPS MELODIC] Some songs disappear. Some names stay. Somebody walks in and changes your day. Maybe that's all "forever" ever meant. A little bit of you somebody else won't forget. [BEAT RETURNS HARD] But enough emotional growth. This is getting suspicious. Rockstar... WHERE ARE THE SNACKS? [CROWD] WHERE ARE THE SNACKS? Strobe Therapy. Apparently immortal. Still hungry. [FINAL BASS HIT]
