Narrow Lens (Trapped)

electronic funk trap
Lyrics

[Intro: Driving synth, funky bass pulse, 125 BPM]
[Verse 1]
I see it everywhere
In everyone but me
Crystal vision, tunnel sight
They diminish what they can't have
Mock what shines too bright
I see the cage they built
But I'm the one inside, inside
[Pre-Chorus: Building]
The pattern keeps repeating
The mechanism never stops
The pattern keeps repeating
And I'm trapped, trapped, trapped
[Chorus: Catchy, driving]
Narrow lens, narrow lens
Can't see the wider view
Taking what I can't possess
Making it smaller than me
Narrow lens, narrow lens
Can't break the loop I'm in
Seeing it so clearly now
But I still can't let it go
[Verse 2: Faster delivery]
She got the life I wanted
So I call it pretentious, yeah
He's got the love I'm starving for
So I mock his softness, yeah
I consume what glimmers
Then wonder why I'm empty
The spiral keeps descending
And I'm blind to my own hand
[Pre-Chorus: Building intensity]
The pattern keeps repeating
The mechanism never stops
The pattern keeps repeating
And I'm trapped, trapped, trapped
[Chorus: Full energy]
Narrow lens, narrow lens
Can't see the wider view
Taking what I can't possess
Making it smaller than me
Narrow lens, narrow lens
Can't break the loop I'm in
Seeing it so clearly now
But I still can't let it go
[Bridge: Synth breakdown, driving]
I watch myself do it
Over and over and over
See the cage I'm building
But I keep on building
The clarity that changes nothing
The truth that sets me free
But I'm still here, still trapped
In the mechanism, yeah
[Background vocals: Layered repeats of "narrow lens"]
[Final Chorus: Maximum groove]
Narrow lens, narrow lens
Can't see the wider view
Taking what I can't possess
Making it smaller than me
Narrow lens, narrow lens
Can't break the loop I'm in
Seeing it so clearly now
And I still can't let it go
Still can't let it go
Still can't let it go
[Outro: Synth pulse, hypnotic fade]
Narrow lens
Wide lens
Narrow lens
Wide lens
(Synth fades)
