Tag the Sea

[Intro]

  Huh... oh, look at you. 
Trying so hard to look entirely unbothered. 
Check the price tag, sweetie. You can't afford me
.
Let's go.

[Verse 1]

You’ve got that "lost in the city" kind of gaze
A cheap little chaos, a velvet-lined haze
You tell me you’re drifting, a leaf on the breeze
While you’re maxing your credit card checking the fees!
You’re a walking disaster in a thrift-store suit
And honey, the irony? It’s absolutely acute
You’re crying about freedom while staging the shot
Trying to sell a lifestyle that you haven't even got!

[Pre-Chorus]

You say you’re a rebel, a ghost in the machine
But you’ve got a spreadsheet for every single scene
You’re playing the martyr, it’s a beautiful art
But your budget is tight and it’s breaking your heart!

[Chorus]

Oh, you wanna be free, then you tag the sea
Like a postcard from a place you’ll never actually be!
You’re chasing the salt, you’re chasing the blue
But you’ve got a financial leash on everything you do!
And you say it’s so nice when you set your price
While you’re rolling the dice on a paradise slice!
Yeah, your freedom is rented, your aura is fake
Go pay off your debt for your own sanity's sake!

[Verse 2]

Now you’re talking ‘bout "healing" and "finding your light"
But you spent forty minutes getting your eyeliner right!
You’re a spiritual journey in a five-star hotel
A total basic baddie in a curated hell
But I like the way you lie, it’s a desperate little charm
Like a tiny little match causing massive alarm
Oops! Did I step on your financial goal?
My bad, I was busy just reading your soul!
You’re a footnote, honey,
 a glitch on the screen
A temporary actor in my highlight machine!

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah, you’re breaking the chains, you’re shaking the cage
But you’re making sure the lighting is right for the stage
You’re a wild little thing, a storm in a glass
And you’re waiting for the applause to finally pass!

[Chorus]
[Maximum Volume]

Oh, you wanna be free, then you tag the sea
Like a postcard from a place you’ll never actually be!
You’re chasing the salt, you’re chasing the blue
But you’ve got a financial leash on everything you do!
And you say it’s so nice when you set your price
While you’re rolling the dice on a paradise slice!

[Bridge]

But beneath the performance, the glitter, the greed...
There’s a quiet little hunger, a genuine need
To actually let go, to actually just fall
Without a safety net or a pre-planned call.

But you love the illusion! You love the design!
So punch your little clock and go stand in the line!
Toodles!

[Instrumental Break]
[Chaotic fast synth bass and heavy industrial trap breakdown]

[Chorus]

Oh, you wanna be free, then you tag the sea
Like a postcard from a place you’ll never actually be!
You’re chasing the salt, you’re chasing the blue
But you’ve got a financial leash on everything you do!

[Outro]
So keep the receipt, honey.
Keep the price tag on the dream.

Was that too mean? 

 Yeah, you’re free as a bird... in a gilded cage.
Just make sure to tag the ocean. 
 
Toodles!
Pop!

[End]
