[lyrics] Screen glows low in the dark One touch to ignite the spark Joystick cold in my hand King of a digital land Glass breathes, cabinet hums This is where the future comes Static builds in my vein Wash away the human pain Quarter drops The countdown starts Leaving behind the human parts Scan-lines blur Colors bleed This is exactly what I need Insert the coin Let it begin I’m crossing over I’m going in Level by level Watch me level up One more credit I come alive Ascension Ascension Into the neon light I left my shadow at the start screen White lines, polygon peaks This is the only world that speaks Violet fire in my chest I am surviving the quest Lost my name at the start Now I’m a ghost with a digital heart Code runs deep in my soul Taking the final control Quarter drops The countdown starts Leaving behind the human parts Scan-lines blur Colors bleed This is exactly what I need Insert the coin Let it begin I’m crossing over I’m going in Level by level Watch me level up One more credit I come alive Ascension Ascension Into the neon light I left my shadow at the start screen Break the score Break the seal The screen is gone I was never real Break the score Break the seal The screen is gone I was never real Insert the coin Let it begin I’m crossing over I’m going in Level by level Watch me level up One more credit I come alive Ascension Ascension Into the neon light I left my shadow at the start screen Insert the coin Insert the coin #synthwave #retrowave #80smusic #arcade #retrogaming #cyberpunkmusic #darkwave #electronicmusic #neonvibes #nightdrive #indieelectronic #futuristicmusic #aestheticmusic #newmusic2026 #undergroundmusic
