[Intro]
(muffled, pitched-down voice sample, echoing)
…cryptic season… signals droppin’… nobody sayin’ it plain…
(808 slide in)
yeah… it’s that time…
[Chorus]
Cryptic season, words half-dead in the chat
Ghosts typin’ dots then they vanish, where you at?
Shadows dancin’ on my timeline, no face, no name
Playin’ chess with a phantom, losin’ every game
Cryptic season, heart on DND
Emojis hidin’ bodies, can’t nobody see
Rain on the window, screen glow like a blade
In cryptic season, trust gets left in the fade
[Verse 1]
Late night scroll, blue light cuttin’ veins
Stories vanish quicker than the trust that remains
She post a black square, caption just a “….”
I know that silence louder than a thousand texts
Ex droppin’ subtweets coded in old songs
Three dots breathin’, then the block, now I’m gone
Friends turn to riddles, “u good?” never land
Everybody speakin’ in Morse with they hands
Cold world, encrypted souls, no key provided
Paranoia my plug, got me wired and guided
Through the fog of vagueposts, read between the cracks
Cryptic season winter, ain’t no comin’ back
[Chorus]
Cryptic season, words half-dead in the chat
Ghosts typin’ dots then they vanish, where you at?
Shadows dancin’ on my timeline, no face, no name
Playin’ chess with a phantom, losin’ every game
Cryptic season, heart on DND
Emojis hidin’ bodies, can’t nobody see
Rain on the window, screen glow like a blade
In cryptic season, trust gets left in the fade
[Verse 2]
Mood ring black, aura full of static
Every “wyd” a trap, every reply erratic
They postin’ moon pics but the caption a hex
Leavin’ breadcrumbs leadin’ straight to they ex
I’m readin’ horoscopes tryna decode the signs
Mercury in retrograde got us losin’ our minds
DMs like riddles carved in digital stone
Open too late, now I’m scrollin’ alone
Bass hit heavy like guilt in my chest
Lo-fi drums knockin’, but can’t drown the rest
Of the questions pilin’ like unsent drafts
Cryptic season claimin’ everybody’s past
[Bridge / Breakdown]
(slowed + reverb, almost spoken)
Why you post it if you ain’t say it?
Why the veil if you ain’t afraid of it?
…cryptic season…
everybody hidin’, nobody winnin’…
(beat drops back in half-time, distorted)
[Final Chorus / Outro]
Cryptic season, echoes in the void
Love letters encrypted, gettin’ destroyed
I’m loggin’ off forever, screen freezin’ black
But the notifications still pull me back
Cryptic season… (fading)
cryptic season…
(vinyl crackle, last 808 rumble out)
…yeah… it’s that time…
Fade to static.
Perfect for a late-night playlist when everything feels distant and coded. Let me know if you want a different vibe or more verses.
