I touched the stars but then I slipped, Gravity pulled, I lost my grip. Pixels crumble in an endless haze, Game over sign lights up the maze. Gamepad shaking in my hands, Failed the quest, forgot the plans. But through the static I hear a beat, A broken rhythm on repeat. Glitched-out dreams, they shine, they fade, My high score’s low but I’m unafraid. The synthwave skies are where I’ll go, Failed at everything, but still I grow. Restart the level, the screen still blinks, Running circles, no time to think. Every boss is tougher, I can’t win, But the anthem plays... I dive back in. Blurring arcs of neon light, Crashing beats in pixel night. Lost my way yet found my tune, In this broken world I croon. Glitched-out dreams, they shine, they fade, My high score’s low but I’m unafraid. The synthwave skies are where I’ll go, Failed at everything, but still I grow. Pixels scatter, screen turns black, Echoes tell me I can’t go back. Yet in the silence, a spark remains, Press restart, I’ll play again. Glitched-out dreams, they shine, they fade, My high score’s low but I’m unafraid. The synthwave skies are where I’ll go, Failed at everything, but still I grow. (Failing forward, failing forward…)
