Ghost in My Feed

Description
A haunting synth-pop track exploring the digital afterlife of a relationship. 'Ghost in My Feed' delves into the experience of being constantly reminded of a past connection through social media, where memories become digital specters that linger in every scroll, like, and notification. The song captures the struggle to move on in a world where the past is always present.
Lyrics
[Intro] (Soft synth hum, subtle vinyl crackle) Scroll, scroll, there you are... [Verse 1] Late night glow on my face, Thumb keeps moving through the space. Your story pops up uninvited, Smiling like we never divided. I tell myself to look away, But curiosity makes me stay. One more tap, one more view, Pulling me back into you. [Pre-Chorus] Notifications like a chain, Dragging me through the pain. The algorithm knows my weakness, Feeds me your perfect sweetness. [Chorus] You're living rent-free in my screen, A ghost I can't delete, unseen. Stories flash, likes from the past, Haunting me fast. I swipe away but you're still there, In every square, everywhere. A digital shadow I can't outrun, You're gone, but not done. [Verse 2] Friends say block and move along, But your profile plays our song. Memories tagged in old posts, Turning me into one of your ghosts. I wonder if you see me too, Lurking in the blue. One more like, one more peek, Making my resolve so weak. [Pre-Chorus] Notifications like a chain, Dragging me through the pain. The algorithm knows my weakness, Feeds me your perfect sweetness. [Chorus] You're living rent-free in my screen, A ghost I can't delete, unseen. Stories flash, likes from the past, Haunting me fast. I swipe away but you're still there, In every square, everywhere. A digital shadow I can't outrun, You're gone, but not done. [Bridge] (Synth swell builds, gated reverb on snare) Log out, shut down, try to flee, But you're embedded in me. One day I'll hit that unfollow, Let the silence swallow. But tonight you're still here, Crystal clear, my fear. [Chorus] You're living rent-free in my screen, A ghost I can't delete, unseen. Stories flash, likes from the past, Haunting me fast. I swipe away but you're still there, In every square, everywhere. A digital shadow I can't outrun, You're gone, but not done. [Outro] (Fading synths, vocal fades into heavy reverb) Ghost in my feed... Gone, but not done. (Synth arpeggio fades to silence)
