[Intro – Sound FX and Atmosphere] [SFX: cash register ding → low choir swell → heartbeat tempo begins ] [SFX: credit card swipe with metallic reverb ] [Instrumental riff begins – punchy, syncopated] [Verse 1 – Narrator] They wrapped the chain in plastic shine No bars, no locks — just credit lines A smiling face, a four-digit code And just like that, your soul was sold Buy now, regret it never They preach that debt is clever You swipe, they cheer, you sink in style Cardis waits with every mile [Chorus – Repeating Hook] [Cardis – slick, charismatic male voice] “Swipe and dream, spend and feel! Pain deferred — that's the deal!” [Selene – clean, controlled female voice] “Resist the urge that tastes so sweet True wealth begins when wants retreat” [Verse 2 – Narrator] The mall became the altar floor Desires rise, then want some more The veil is plastic, but feels like faith Until you choke beneath its wraith Points and perks, false rewards Trapped inside financial lords Selene weeps, unheard again While Cardis sings in dopamine [Chorus – Repeating Hook] [Cardis] “Swipe and shine, no need to wait Buy your future, shift your fate!” [Selene] “Hold your ground, deny the thrill Freedom lies in silent will” [Bridge – Spoken / Chanted] [Narrator – low, echoing voice] “Brand devotion, craving fed Plastic gospel for the dead They chant in lines, they kneel in debt And wonder why they’re drowning yet” [Final Chorus – Overlapping Voices] [Cardis – louder, manic] “More! More! There’s always more!” [Selene – firm, defiant] “Close the door. Restore the core.” [Both] “You live beneath the plastic veil… Or rise beyond the credit trail.” [Outro – FX Fade] [SFX: receipt printer sound → then silence ] [SFX: deep sigh]
