Version 1
[Intro: Minimalistic beat with echoey synths and soft vocal hums]
Mmm, yeah, yeah
Mmm, mmm
[Verse 1]
Started with a dream, building so high,
Castle in the clouds, thought I could touch the sky,
But I bit off more than I could chew,
Now I’m buried in this world, don’t know what to do.
[Pre-Chorus with Whispery Vocals]
In over my head, feeling so small,
Out of my depth, watching it fall,
Burned out both ends, no sleep tonight,
Overextended, losing this fight.
[Chorus with Dark, Atmospheric Production]
I’m sinking deeper in this blocky maze,
Thought I could handle it, but I’m losing my way,
I took on too much, now I’m stuck in this groove,
Learning the hard way in this pixelated blues.
[Verse 2 with Haunting Background Vocals]
Thought I was a pro, could build in my sleep,
But my walls are falling down, my tower’s too steep,
I got ahead of myself, didn’t think it through,
Now I’m lost in the dark, don’t know what to do.
[Pre-Chorus with Soft, Echoed Beats]
In over my head, feeling so small,
Out of my depth, watching it fall,
Burned out both ends, no sleep tonight,
Overextended, losing this fight.
[Chorus with Subdued, Echoey Beats and Synths]
I’m sinking deeper in this blocky maze,
Thought I could handle it, but I’m losing my way,
I took on too much, now I’m stuck in this groove,
Learning the hard way in this pixelated blues.
[Bridge with Layered Vocals and Sparse Instrumentation]
Night falls and monsters surround,
I’m still here, can’t find my way out,
Should’ve started small, now I’m in too deep,
In this pixel world, I can’t get no sleep.
[Chorus with Building Intensity and Soft, Pulsing Beats]
I’m sinking deeper in this blocky maze,
Thought I could handle it, but I’m losing my way,
I took on too much, now I’m stuck in this groove,
Learning the hard way in this pixelated blues.
[Outro with Whispered Vocals and Ambient Soundscape]
One block at a time, I’ll get there someday,
No more biting off more than I can play,
I’m just a builder finding my view,
One block at a time, that’s what I’ll do.
Mmm, yeah, yeah,
Mmm, mmm.
