Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Electric habit, midnight current
The dhol loop arrived on a voice note
I played it until the sun came up
Wedding sounds in Mohali air
[Chorus]
Seven-eight verse, four-four chorus
The time change hides behind the vocal
Every synth line played in one night
Creative obsession, total
[Verse 2]
My uncle sent it on WhatsApp
A wedding recording, cracked and clear
I built the beat from what he gave me
And played until the morning was near
[Chorus]
Seven-eight verse, four-four chorus
The time change hides behind the vocal
Every synth line played in one night
Creative obsession, total
[Bridge]
The sounds you cannot stop returning to
The loop that plays inside your head
Electric habit, midnight current
Until the sun comes up instead
[Chorus]
Seven-eight verse, four-four chorus
The time change hides behind the vocal
Every synth line played in one night
Creative obsession, total
[Outro]
Electric habit
Until the sun came up
