Milo Nova - Pirate Signal Lyrics

[Intro]
Static in my mind, tape deck's got secrets to find
Father's hidden life, beneath the corporate design

[Verse 1]
Found that dusty box up in the attic last night
Old Walkman buried deep, something didn't feel right
Pressed play, heard your voice through the hiss and decay
Tech mogul by day, but these tracks gave you away
Underground frequencies, forbidden melodies
Every scratch tells a story that you kept from me
F*ck your Silicon Valley mask, I see through the cracks
Now I know why you never let me look back

[Chorus]
Hidden tapes, buried rage
Signals breaking through the haze
Father's ghost in magnetic waves
All the truths you tried to save
Static noise can't hide your voice
Now I know it wasn't choice

[Verse 2]
3 AM in my room, headphones telling tales
Of a man I never knew, behind your digital veil
Each track's got me f*cked up, piecing you together
Every rewind brings me closer to whatever
Made you bury these sounds, beneath success and pride
Now your son's digging up all the shit you tried to hide
Cold war kids never die, they just learn to blend
But the bass still bumps through the static in the end

[Bridge]
Your revolution's in my blood
Can't wash it out with startup funds
Every glitch is breaking walls
Every beat's a f*cking call

[Chorus]
Hidden tapes, buried rage
Signals breaking through the haze
Father's ghost in magnetic waves
All the truths you tried to save
Static noise can't hide your voice
Now I know it wasn't choice

[Outro]
The signal's clear now, can't pretend anymore
Your son's carrying what you left on the floor
