Lyrics Drive - Tristan Miller

I've been cosplaying as a nineties kid
Was that something that we all did
Hear the eighties rocked
That is what's been said
As they're dreaming of it in bed

Were they a symbol of excess
Should I ask for nothing less
Nostalgia for a time
I never experienced
My hatred is electric
Yet I long for the aesthetic
Breaking my own promise
To not become my parents

Life stopped before I was born
Missed out on a sixty-four
I've seen the playbacks
Isn't it sad
A taste makes me desperate for more

Through the web I've seen
Function over sheen
Oh the things people will believe
An ungrateful boy
Forgetting all his toys
Calls it all a ploy

Says it's freedom or success
He should demand a little less
Nostalgic for a time
He never experienced
Longing for the pleasure
But thinks himself too clever
Ignorant to the letter
That we work best together

Life stopped before I was born
Missed out on a sixty-four
I've seen the playbacks
Isn't it sad
A taste makes me desperate for more

Maybe I should try
To look around
I can't satisfy
It's been disallowed

Life stopped before I was born
Missed out on a sixty-four
I've seen the playbacks
Isn't it sad
A taste makes me desperate for more
Life stopped before I was born
Missed out on a sixty-four
I've seen the playbacks
Isn't it sad
A taste makes me desperate for more
