Living In Reverse

I walked into the store, thought I stepped in a time machine
Everything's shag carpet and avocado green
New products, old logos, it's all a replay
Feels like I'm shopping in yesterday

Is the calendar broken? Are we living in reverse?
What decade is this? Is it a blessing or a curse?
They're bringing back the old, pretending that it's something new
If I remember this style, does that make me old too?

Vinyl records on the shelf, they're back in the store
It's like they forgot CDs were invented before
Calling it 'vintage,' but is it really that bold?
Or just a clever way to make what's lazy feel sold?

Is the calendar broken? Are we living in reverse?
What decade is this? Is it a blessing or a curse?
They're bringing back the old, pretending that it's something new
If I remember this style, does that make me old too?

Next thing you know, they'll bring back bell-bottom jeans
And disco balls will light up all our screens
Creativity and innovation are feeling faded
When all of the 'new' designs are old and dated

They say it's 'retro chic,' but I'm still confused
Are we stuck in a loop where the future's refused?

The furniture looks like it came straight from the '70s
Tacky patterns, plastic chairs, it's not heavenly
We've got landlines, vinyl, and old-school gear
But I'm still wondering what decade we're in here

Is the calendar broken? Are we stuck in the past?
Why does it feel like the future's fading fast?
They're bringing back the old, and calling it bold
But I've seen this before, and I'm still not sold

So dust off your records, and rewind the clock
We're living in reverse, and it's lazy as a rock
They'll say it's 'classic,' but let's be real
This retro reboot doesn't have the same appeal
