Landlines Video (MV)

[Intro]
Static on the line, voices fade in time
Grandma's broken French, lost between the signs

[Verse 1]
Switchboard operator, connect me to my roots
Grandma's stories static, family tree gets mute
Played the social game, infiltrate and climb
Sophie thought she knew me, now she's left behind
Calculated moves like chess pieces in motion
Cross the language barrier with cold-blooded devotion

[Chorus]
Disconnect the line, scramble all the codes
Heritage in fragments down these broken roads
We speak in tongues now, lost in translation
Static interference, next generation

[Verse 2]
Mama told me "blend in," papa said "survive"
Every conversation's just another lie
Switched up my accent, changed the way I move
Social sabotage, that's the only truth
Got Sophie's circle thinking that I'm one of them
Till I pulled the plug and left them all condemned
That's the game we play, learned it from the best
Grandma's resistance running through my chest

[Chorus]
Disconnect the line, scramble all the codes
Heritage in fragments down these broken roads
We speak in tongues now, lost in translation
Static interference, next generation

[Outro]
Call disconnected, message never sent
Family tree's broken, signals get bent
Static on the line, voices fade in time
This is how we survive, this is how we climb
