Verse 1 - 0:40 - 1:10)
(Male vocals, low and robotic/filtered)
A world outside I can't quite relate to anymore so I quietly close the door and I get i get
Wrapped up in plastic, clean and shining reflecting and dripping in sweat
(Pre-Chorus - 1:10 - 1:40)
(The bassline starts to pulse with more intensity, building energy.)
Cellophane dreams, so shiny and bright
But I can't break through into the real light
See-through the moments, feeling so unreal
Tell me, is there anything left to feel?
(Chorus / Drop - 1:40 - 2:20)
(A heavy, dark future house or midtempo drop hits hard. The main synth lead is sharp and driving.)
TRAPPED IN CELLOPHANE DREAMS
CAN'T TEAR THE WRAPPING, CAN'T FIND THE SEAM
STUCK IN THE STATIC OF THIS PLASTIC STREAM!
CELLOPHANE! DREAMS! TRAPPED! CAN'T BREAK FREE!
CELLOPHANE! DREAMS! WHAT'S even real anymore
(Verse 2 - 2:20 - 2:50)
(The beat softens slightly, returning to the atmospheric pads. Vocals are a bit more human, but still distant.)
The perfect image of what it should be
A flawless life projected i wanted to be
But it's just a cover, fragile to the touch
I'm covered in plastic
scratch the surface, im not real anymore
(Pre-Chorus - 2:50 - 3:20)
Cellophane dreams, so shiny and bright
But I can't break through into the real light
See-through the moments, feeling so unreal
Tell me, is there anything left to feel?
(Chorus / Drop - 3:20 - 4:00)
TRAPPED IN CELLOPHANE DREAMS
SHIMMERING LIES AND BROKEN light BEAMS!
CAN'T TEAR the layers of plastic , CAN'T FIND THE SEAM
STUCK IN THE STATIC OF THIS PLASTIC screen
CELLOPHANE! DREAMS! TRAPPED! CAN'T BREAK FREE!
CELLOPHANE! DREAMS! WHAT'S REAL?
(Bridge / Breakdown - 4:00 - 4:45)
(The music cuts to just a single, echoing synth note and the muffled vocal sample. A quiet, urgent vocal whispers: "I need out... I need real... Break the seal...")
(A rhythmic buildup begins, snare rolls escalating intensely, leading into the final chorus.)
(Final Chorus / Drop - 4:45 - 5:30)
(Full power drop, louder and more distorted this time)
TRAPPED IN CELLOPHANE DREAMS
SHIMMERING LIES AND BROKEN light beams
CAN'T TEAR THE WRAPPING, CAN'T FIND THE SEAM
STUCK IN THE STATIC OF THIS PLASTIC box
CELLOPHANE! DREAMS! TRAPPED! CAN'T BREAK FREE!
CELLOPHANE! DREAMS! WHAT is REAL?
(Outro - 5:30 - End)
(The main synth cuts out, leaving just the dark atmosphere and the muffled "Trapped..." sample, which gradually slows down and distorts until it fades into silence.)
