The Arcade
Hyper Crush Lyrics

Nintendo Power Gloves,
Referencing a classic game accessory to set the tone for the arcade-themed party.

Locked and loaded with my finger on the trigger.
Ready to dominate the games and beat high scores.

And you'll notice that a fuck is what I give a.
Not caring what others think or say, focused on playing the games.

Click-click-bang,
The sounds of the games and the actions it requires.

With the zapper gun game,
Specifically referring to the classic video game Duck Hunt.

If you're with it come hang,
Inviting those who enjoy gaming to join the party.

If you're not then you're lame.
Dismissing those who aren't interested in playing games.

D-duck, d-duck season,
Referencing another classic game, Duck Hunt, where a hunter must shoot ducks during their hunting season.

Wh-what, wh-what heathen,
Questioning someone who doesn't want to participate in playing games.

Give up for no reason?
Wondering why someone wouldn't want to play games at a party.

Man, we make the party go.
Positively impacting the party atmosphere with gaming and music.

Go!
Encouraging others to join in and have fun.

Collect dimes like Super Mario.
Referring to the in-game coins to collect in Super Mario Bros. and comparing it to collecting money in real life.

You know I like the way you play the arcade,
Complimenting someone's gaming skills.

You know you like the way I'm running the game,
Claiming to be the leader and coordinator of the party and games.

I'm sure you're always gonna want some, always gonna want some more.
Implying that the thrill of the games and party will always be enticing.

I know you really want to beat that, really want to beat that score.
Recognizing the competitive nature of gaming and wanting to win.

Segatron Genesis, call me the wizard.
Referencing an old Sega gaming console and declaring oneself as the master.

I'm number one on the list.
Proudly boasting of having the highest score.

My highest score, I'm the legend of the arcade.
Claiming to be an expert in gaming and setting high standards.

Speeding up your heart rate.
Acknowledging the fast-paced action and excitement of the games.

Beatin' like a hard game.
Drawing a comparison between the intensity of winning a difficult game and an elevated heartbeat.

Wait! Stop.
Pausing the music and games momentarily.

Drop it down to 8 bit.
Switching up the music style to a classic 8-bit sound.

Bouncing like Donkey Kong.
Moving and dancing energetically.

I'm going ape shit!
Getting crazy and wild with excitement.

Hyper color, so you can see us glow.
Referring to bright colors or glowing lights often seen in video games to add excitement to the atmosphere.

Glow, everybody.
Encouraging the partygoers to have a good time and get hyped.

I want to see you go...
Continuing to encourage and hype up the partygoers.

I'm sure you're always gonna want some, always gonna want some more.
Repeating the idea that the games and party will continue to be thrilling and entertaining.

I know you really want to beat that, really want to beat that score.
