(Verse 1)
Engine hums like a lullaby
City fades in the mirror's eye
Wheels turn under violet beams
Chasing codes from broken dreams

(Pre-Chorus)
Frequencies cut through the night
Calling me in pulsing light
Your voice in static, faint but clear
Like you're still somewhere near

(Chorus)
Midnight drive signal, lighting up the sky
A message in motion, you and I
Riding through the silence, chasing after sound
Trying to find where you are now
Midnight drive signal, echo on the wire
Burning through the dark like a ghost on fire

(Verse 2)
Left the past on a dashboard screen
Rewrote love on a drum machine
Maps are useless when hearts decide
So I follow the waves you hide

(Pre-Chorus)
Red lights blur into blue
Like the way I remember you
Each mile a memory breaking free
Transmitting what we used to be

(Chorus)
Midnight drive signal, lighting up the sky
A message in motion, you and I
Riding through the silence, chasing after sound
Trying to find where you are now
Midnight drive signal, echo on the wire
Burning through the dark like a ghost on fire

(Bridge)
Every station’s filled with ghosts
But you're the one I want the most
So I keep driving past the dawn
Till your signal’s gone

(Final Chorus)
Midnight drive signal, don’t fade away
Guide me home or make me stay
I’ll keep chasing, loud and clear
Till the night runs out — or you reappear

MIDNIGHT DRIVE SIGNAL

Digital Prayer is a dystopian 80s-inspired synthpop song that explores themes of digital alienation, societal decay, and emotional numbness in a hyperconnected world. Through haunting lyrics and a driving analog rhythm, the song paints a bleak picture of a society lost in screens, automation, and artificial belief systems. It follows a protagonist who sends a metaphorical prayer into the digital void, searching for connection, meaning, and truth in a mechanized reality. The verses detail the collapse of human intimacy and authenticity, while the chorus echoes a desperate plea for contact and understanding beyond the static noise. With layered synths, industrial beats, and retro-futuristic atmospheres, the track delivers a powerful critique of modern isolation and the fading echoes of humanity in a world governed by data.

Lyrics
[Intro – instrumental]  
[Slow pulsating synth bass, mechanical rhythm builds with gated snares and distant choir pads]

[Verse 1]  
Wires hum like ancient cries,  
Screens are glowing in the dark,  
Truth dissolves in lullabies,  
Hope reduced to just a spark.  
Plastic gods in neon grace,  
Marching through electric night,  
Selling dreams we can't replace,  
Trading silence for the light.

[Instrumental – short drop]  
[Arpeggiated synth, robotic textures, synthetic reverb accents]

[Verse 2]  
We scroll through lies we never wrote,  
Each update kills a part of soul,  
Our hearts beat in a muted code,  
Disconnected, not quite whole.  
Mirrors show a hollow face,  
Framed by ads and coded shame,  
Lost inside this data race,  
Searching for someone to blame.

[Chorus]  
We send a digital prayer to the sky,  
No one listens, no one asks why.  
We're just shadows in a stream of time,  
Counting the seconds, locked in a mime.  
This is the sound of the end we made,  
Dancing alone in the mess we laid.  
Oh, signal me back if you're still there—  
Somewhere beyond the static air.

[Interlude – instrumental]  
[Dark synths swell, analog distortions blend with ambient glitches]

[Verse 3]  
The clocks are melting on the wall,  
Rhythms loop but never change,  
Empires built to rise and fall,  
We stay numb inside the range.  
Voices fade in chrome and steel,  
Truth replaced by sweet design,  
We forget how love should feel,  
Living under coded sign.

[Bridge – whispered vocal over slow synth pad]  
Tell me—can you feel the tremble?  
Beneath the beat, behind the veil?  
Was it ever real, or just assembled?  
A silent scream in digital mail.

[Instrumental – driving rhythm section]  
[Analog basslines, industrial drums, layered choir pad chords]

[Verse 4]  
We wear our sins like velvet skin,  
Flashing smiles that never stay,  
Longing for what might have been,  
In this cold electric play.  
Footsteps echo in the night,  
From souls we never tried to know,  
Each regret a point of light,  
In this dark collective glow.

[Reprise – Chorus with intensified layers]  
We send a digital prayer to the sky,  
No one listens, no one asks why.  
We're just shadows in a stream of time,  
Counting the seconds, locked in a mime.  
This is the sound of the end we made,  
Dancing alone in the mess we laid.  
Oh, signal me back if you're still there—  
Somewhere beyond the static air.

[Outro – instrumental]  
[Echoed synth lead fades into static, drum pattern decays into silence, a final analog pulse blinks out]

Lyrics

You better be, better be Alone (x4)

Somebody says 
you better be alone, be alone
They don't know what
what's going on, going on

You said 
"Boy you'd better roll the dice"
but I'm asking for a night with you
and I'll hold you till the light
will erase the pain
from your lonely eyes

Cold 
Like a winter night
This everlasting fight in your heart
it will make you crazy, I don't
want to lose my baby but

Somebody says 
you better be alone, be alone
They don't know what
what's going on, going on
You said 
"Boy you'd better roll the dice"
but I'm asking for a night with you
and I'll hold you till the light
will erase the pain
from your lonely eyes

Somebody wants to call it quits
they can't see
that the sky is lit
with a heavy heart
in an empty Street
you were there cause I can 
still feel the heat but

Somebody says 
you better be alone, be alone
They don't know what
what's going on, going on
You said 
"Boy you'd better roll the dice"
but I'm asking for a night with you
and I'll hold you till the light
will erase the pain
from your lonely eyes

(instrumental)

Somebody says 
you better be alone, be alone
They don't know what
what's going on, going on
You said 
"Boy you'd better roll the dice"
but I'm asking for a night with you
and I'll hold you till the light
will erase the pain
from your lonely eyes (x2)

You better be, better be Alone (x4)
