Scroll Zone hits deep with lo-fi heartbreak and late-night screen fatigue—where DMs stay dry and silence says it all.
💬 Ever caught in the scroll, hoping for something more? Drop your story below ⬇️

Ambient textures and glitchy vocals create a moody atmosphere of digital loneliness. "Scroll Zone" captures the raw emotion of ghosted notifications, endless refreshing, and the ache behind the screen. It’s a soundtrack for the overthinkers, the scrollers, the ones still holding on.

✨ For every heart left on read—this one’s for you.

Lyrics
Intro: Soft vinyl crackle, ambient synth pads]
Yo, it’s real out here in the scroll zone... you feel that?
Let’s go...
Verse 1
Phone screen lighting up my face
Another night in this same place (same place)
Double tap and scroll away
These feelings I can't shake today (shake today, yeah yeah)
Pre-Chorus – Callout + Echo
Check my messages one more time
Left on read, but I'm doing fine
(I’m fine — I’m fine... yeah, I’m fine...)
Chorus – Callout heavy for impact
📱 Notifications hit different when you're alone (so alone)
Refresh, refresh, still nothing on my phone (nothin’…)
Notifications hit different, yeah it's true (it’s true, it’s true)
All these hearts and likes won't get me over you (won’t get me through)
Verse 2
NGL I'm stuck in my feels RN (real talk)
Posting stories that you won't see (you won’t see me)
FR FR I should just go to sleep
But I keep searching endlessly (searching endlessly, yeah)
Pre-Chorus – Echoes build emotion
Looking through the pictures saved
From back when you weren't far away
(so far away… far away…)
Chorus – Repeat with more energy, layered vocals
Notifications hit different when you're alone (yeah, they hit…)
Refresh, refresh, still nothing on my phone
Notifications hit different, yeah it's true
All these hearts and likes won't get me over you
Breakdown – Callout, Sound FX, Glitch Vocals
📲 Phone notification sounds
Empty DMs got me like... huh?
Double tapping through the night
(tap tap — through the night)
Glitchy autotuned vocals
Likes and hearts and empty screens
Tell me what this all means
(what it means... what it means...)
Bridge – Spoken + Sung Blend
Maybe I should put the phone away
But FOMO keeps me here to stay (won’t go, won’t go)
In my feelings, TBH
Just me and my screen (just me... and this screen)
Outro – Fading Vinyl Crackle, Lo-fi Vibes
(Notifications hit different...)
(Hit different when you’re... gone.)
Gone... gone...

Scroll Zone 📱💔 – Lo-Fi Heartbreak in the Digital Age

With Smoke Signals, Audio Illusion crafts a deeply poetic, jazz-laced hip hop journey through the fragile art of communication. Blending dusty drum breaks, soulful instrumentation, and metaphor-rich lyricism, this concept album transmits emotional messages through layers of rhythm and rhyme.

Each track is a metaphor—a different form of signal, from ancient smoke plumes to modern-day static. The result is a sonic meditation on the spaces between us: the words left unsaid, the thoughts we bury, the echoes we chase, and the frequencies we try to share. Whether it’s the broken code of a strained relationship or the faded ink of a letter never sent, Smoke Signals captures the beauty in vulnerability and the complexity of human connection.

This is more than music—it’s a quiet conversation with the soul, set to jazz and guided by introspection.
