ahh
tell me what yor gonna do now
I'm always on the west side
let me see if you can kick it again
I know what your going through now

tell me what your gotta do now
we'll put you on the outside
I was there when you needed a friend

I'd call you - if you asked me too
I wont always be this way
can't say I'm waiting on me
tell me what you gotta lose now
you say you gotta take off
have you got somewhere better to be?
I know what I gotta do now,
It's time for me to break off
can't change how you're feeling for me
I'm calling up but you keep on pausing
taste of your lips so haunting
hoping that your falling for me
oh yeeaaahhh

I'll run away till you remember,
because I'm flying high no time to swiiimm

The song "Cellophane" by Miami Horror and Gavin Turek is about a failing relationship and the pain of romantic rejection. The lyrics are addressed to a lover who has become distant and is causing pain, but the singer is still emotionally invested and is begging for their attention. Throughout the song, there is a sense of desperation and frustration as the singer tries to understand why their partner has become so cruel and distant. They are willing to do whatever it takes to save the relationship, but ultimately the decision is out of their hands.
The chorus repeats the line "you don't have to be so cruel," emphasizing the fact that even though the relationship may not be working, there is no need for such harshness and pain. The lyrics show the singer's vulnerability and longing, and also their strength in dealing with rejection and moving on. The song has a pulsing, danceable beat that contrasts with the sadness of the lyrics, creating a sense of catharsis and release.

My favorite song on the album for sure.

A great party song. Summer has arrived people!

Unless you were born in the 90s and after, here’s your chance to relive those 1980s summers without the use of an instagram filter. Get your hands on the new Miami Horror album, hit the ‘repeat all’ button, bust out those sunglasses, and cancel everything else you were planning to do this weekend. Also, who is Aaron Miller because I cannot seem to find any information on him anywhere, and his vocals are just perfect for the Indietronica/Nu-Disco genre. (dropped @ www.trackdrops.com)

This song has so many twists and turns! The climax for me: "Oh by the way do you remember-
It's not who you are but where you’ve beeeeeeeeeeeen"
