ANALOG – The Last Ones | 90s Boom Bap

Analog kids, digital adults — the last generation that saw the world before the screen. When the last of us fall, they won't even know what they lost. Testify. 🎧 ANALOG — "You Wouldn't Understand" (Track 11 of 12) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ LYRICS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [Intro] Yeah... we the last ones Last to remember when the world was still real Testify... uh [Verse 1] We the last ones standin' with the memory intact Born in the analog, came up in the crack Between two worlds, we the bridge, we the seam Saw it real with our eyes 'fore it all went to screen We remember the silence, the unreachable hours The map on the dash and the payphone towers When a photo was a moment you could hold in your hand When you got lost and you found somethin' greater than the plan We carry a country that don't exist no more A ghost of a world nobody's askin' for [Verse 2] We knew boredom, knew a Sunday drag its feet Knew a whole afternoon with no notification beep Knew a landline on the wall, a cord you could twist Knew a face 'fore a filter ever painted the myth Knew the wait for a letter, the ache of unknown Knew a girl by her laugh, not a light on a phone We the museum, we the archive, we the tape Last witnesses standin' 'fore the memories escape And they look at us like we speakin' in tongues Tellin' 'em a world that they think we made up for fun [Verse 3] Now the children born plugged, never knew the unplug Think surveillance is love and the cage is a hug Never tasted a silence, never sat with they mind Whole species lookin' down, leavin' the sky behind They don't know it was different, don't know it could be A life you couldn't track, a soul that was free No off switch on the world that they handed the young And the ones who remember? We dyin' one by one So they'll never believe there was air 'fore the smoke Never know it was real 'fore the reality broke [Verse 4] So we hold the last candle 'fore the dark take it all Keepers of a world, our backs against the wall Tell your kids, tell 'em loud 'fore the story is gone There was life before the light of the screen ever shone We ran, we bled, we loved with no lens We were here, we were real, and it mattered, my friends When the last of us fall and the memory's dust They won't even know what they lost in us We the last ones... the last to have known The last generation that was ever truly grown ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▶ Full album:    • ANALOG — You Wouldn't Understand (Full Album)   Pure 90s boom bap.
