Armand l'Enchanté - Soft Disconnect Lyrics

[Intro]
Static on the line, another goodbye
Digital dreams slowly pass me by

[Verse 1]
Martinis and memories at the Cotton Club scene
Your red lips were moving, but the words lost their mean
I watched you fade away through a pixelated screen
While the brass section played our favorite routine

[Chorus]
Ain't that just the way love goes
In this modern cabaret show
Click, click, typing away
While Sinatra's records play
But darling, we lost that swing
When our hearts went ping, ping, ping

[Verse 2]
Remember slow dancing in that downtown dive?
Now we're just avatars, barely alive
Your voice through the speaker ain't the same
Like a scratched record, it's driving me insane
Sophie, my dear, what happened to us?
When did our romance turn to digital dust?

[Bridge]
The band plays on, but I dance alone
Checking messages on my goddamn phone
Every notification, another nail in the coffin
While these jazz cats keep the rhythm soft and

[Verse 3]
In smoky bars, where lovers used to meet
Now blue screens glow, making love obsolete
I'm drowning my sorrows in a glass of gin
While some algorithm tells me where you've been
Baby, we used to set this town ablaze
Now we're lost in this technological haze

[Chorus]
Ain't that just the way love goes
In this modern cabaret show
Click, click, typing away
While Sinatra's records play
But darling, we lost that swing
When our hearts went ping, ping, ping

[Outro]
The band's packing up, the night's getting old
Our story's ending, like the classics foretold
Just one last toast to what we had before
Before love became a digital score
Goodbye Sophie, my virtual valentine
Static on the line, for the very last time
