Retro World
Black Halos Lyrics

This ain't nothing really new
There is nothing that is unique or innovative in this situation

I said everything's been tried and true
Everything that can be done, has been done before

Everything's been said and done 1000 times before
Every possible idea or action has already been explored

Nothing really goes out of style
Trends and fads may fade for a time, but they usually resurface later

I said it only goes away for a little while
The popularity of a trend or fad may decrease, but it is never truly gone

Only to come charging right on through your door
The resurgence of a trend or fad can catch people by surprise

So hey! Whatcha gonna do
Asks the listener what their plan of action is

Hey! To keep yourself amused
Suggests that the listener should find something entertaining to do

Hey! What can you do when everything's been used
What can one do when all ideas have been exhausted

[Chorus:]
Start of chorus

Round and round and around it goes
Cycles of trends and fads repeating endlessly

Where it stops, no one knows
No one can predict when a trend or fad will become popular again

Nothing really changes it's a Retro World
Despite appearing different, everything still remains the same

Here it comes, baby, there it goes
Another trend or fad resurfaces and fades away again

It's getting harder to shoot my load
The artist is finding it difficult to come up with new ideas

Nothing's really dangerous just a Retro World
While trends and fads may seem exciting, they ultimately pose no real risk

Go!
Encourages action

No future dreams for you and me
The future may appear bleak and unoriginal

A never-ending life of repeats
The artist is stuck in a cycle of repeating past ideas

Forced to live out past mistakes again and again
The artist is repeating past mistakes instead of learning from them

Sure the name may change but the product's still the same
Although different names are used, the underlying product remains the same

Hey! Whatcha gonna do
Repeats the question from earlier in the song

Hey! To keep yourself abused
Suggests that continuing to participate in these trends and fads is a form of abuse

Hey! What can you do when everything's been used
Repeats the question from earlier in the song

[Rep't Chorus]
Repeats the chorus
