Luz Nova - Mainland Fever Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Digital waves crash on these shores of mine
Lost between two worlds, trying to define
Memories burning, history in flames
While they watched it fall, no one took the blame
Fragments of my past scattered in the breeze
Father's tapes playing Portuguese with ease

[Chorus]
Dancing through the ashes of what we lost
Funk in my blood, paying culture's cost
Watch me rise from ruins, glitch by glitch
Making something new from what they couldn't fix
(Hey!) Breaking through the static of yesterday
(Hey!) Building future rhythms my own damn way

[Verse 2]
Mainland calling but I'm deep in the flow
Caught between the beats of what I'll never know
Sample by sample, I piece it back
Through the underground, I'm laying down tracks
F*ck their system trying to erase my name
In these broken bits, I'll light my own flame

[Bridge]
Bass dropping like memories
Into the void, set me free
Waves of change, can't hold me down
In this chaos, I won't drown

[Chorus]
Dancing through the ashes of what we lost
Funk in my blood, paying culture's cost
Watch me rise from ruins, glitch by glitch
Making something new from what they couldn't fix
(Hey!) Breaking through the static of yesterday
(Hey!) Building future rhythms my own damn way

[Outro]
From the fire, watch me glow
Through the static, watch me grow
In between worlds, this is home
Digital waves, I'm not alone
