We bury our regrets so deep that even we ourselves are blind to it, yet they bleed into our subconscious. We reject our surroundings and obsesses with people who have flown away, casting high hopes onto simulations of our own making.
Toiling in a dead-end, I once fell in love with a simulation too. One and a half years later, I realized what it all meant. I can finally write the song now. This is my story.
Lyrics:
Screamed through your concert, saw your rhymes ignite the night
I felt your pulses beat like mine
“My flight’s tomorrow morning”, you told me at the backstage
Leaving this life behind to shoot for Hollywood
You’re tequila shots by sun-lit pools
In endless radiant summers
A perfect heartbeat shaped sixteen by nine online
So I’ll chase down every party’s booze
And wade through LA’s wonders
But your silhouette is what I’ll never find
Because
I’m in love with a simulation, in love when you simulate it
I’m in love with a simulation, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
I’m in love with a simulation, in love when you simulate it
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
The years went by but I was yet to crack the code
Why I obsessed for so long
Yet gloomy days and some ugly nervous breakdowns
Unearthed the truth I hid so long from my mind
I toiled away at a dead-end place
Just barely getting by and
Couldn’t admit I’ve chosen life’s wrong side in time
So I projected all my hopes and dreams
On you who flew away then
The night your sparkling image came alive
That’s why
I’m in love with a simulation, in love when you simulate it
I’m in love with a simulation, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
I’m in love with a simulation, in love when you simulate it
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
Could it be possible
Through this ritual
That I’m drifting close
Closer to where you shot for
Time’s ticking down
Fading through dusk and dawn
It calls me to an escape
Where no days go to waste
But looking outside
I see the same dead sight
So when tomorrow comes
I’ll be in love with a simulation, I know
I’m in love with a simulation, in love when you simulate it
I’m in love with a simulation, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
I’m in love with a simulation, in love when you simulate it
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
