Lyrics
Intro
Beat starts
Whispered sample of a voice: "Headphones on..."
Verse
Yeah, the world outside is static, the volume’s all wrong
Gotta find my frequency where I truly belong
Hit the jack into the phone, the ritual begins
Block out the noise, where the real sound wins
From the Metro ride to the solitary walk
Ignoring the stares and the mindless small talk
The leather cups descend, a seal against the everyday
In my own private venue, the music starts to play
The bass drops in my skull, a personal thunder
Got the whole orchestra in my brain, a beautiful plunder
Chorus
Beat gets slightly louder, more energetic
Headphones on, dial the planet out
This is my zone, no room left for doubt
Speakers close to my soul, turn the feeling up high
Just me and the beat, 'til the day that I die
Headphones on, ain't no turning back
Got the perfect soundtrack, keep me on the right track
Verse
The flow is seamless, the lyrics hit different
When they’re piped direct, no distraction is sniffed
Jay-Z telling stories right into my eardrum
Kendrick painting pictures 'til my fingers go numb
It's a bubble, a fortress, my sanctuary of sound
The finest vibrations I have ever found
Could be on a crowded street, could be in my own room
Doesn't matter the location, escaped the impending doom
Of silence, or worse, the sounds I don't choose
With this armor on my head, I know I can't lose
Chorus
Headphones on, dial the planet out
This is my zone, no room left for doubt
Speakers close to my soul, turn the feeling up high
Just me and the beat, 'til the day that I die
Headphones on, ain't no turning back
Got the perfect soundtrack, keep me on the right track
Bridge
The wires might tangle, the battery might drain
But that moment of clarity is worth all the pain
It's more than just music, it's a statement of mind
Leaving the superficial noises behind
A portable power, a personal escape
In the shape of a tune, in the form of a tape
Chorus
Headphones on, dial the planet out
This is my zone, no room left for doubt
Speakers close to my soul, turn the feeling up high
Just me and the beat, 'til the day that I die
Headphones on, ain't no turning back
Got the perfect soundtrack, keep me on the right track
Outro
Beat fades slightly, vocal sample whispers "Headphones on..." several times
Yeah.
The outside world can wait.
Beat fades out
