[Intro]
Static in my left ear, silence in my right
These broken headphones tell our story tonight
[Verse 1]
Remember sharing beats through tangled wires
Council estate dreams and late-night street fires
You went Berlin tech, I stayed Manchester gray
Both our signals fading day by day
Used to pass these phones back and forth
Now the jack's bent, connection's lost, f*ck it's worth
The memories trapped in these cheap plastic shells
Every scratch marks a story that time tells
[Chorus]
Broken headphones, static in my brain
You're living high while I'm stuck in the rain
Broken headphones, our frequencies split
You're chasing waves while I'm still here in this shit
[Verse 2]
Late night sessions, smoking on the roof
Trading tracks like secrets, now we're living proof
That time moves different when you chase that cash
While I'm still here fixing things that crash
Your Instagram's all clubs and coding schemes
While I'm rewinding tapes of broken dreams
These wires twisted like our parallel lives
One's ascending while the other just survives
[Bridge]
Left channel dead, right channel's weak
Just like our friendship, barely speaks
Bass don't hit like it used to do
Since you traded council blocks for something new
[Chorus]
Broken headphones, static in my brain
You're living high while I'm stuck in the rain
Broken headphones, our frequencies split
You're chasing waves while I'm still here in this shit
[Outro]
Maybe one day we'll sync again
Till then I'll keep these phones as they've always been
Damaged, worn, but still hanging on
Like memories of where we came from
