Imposter Syndrome
A woman wakes each day in a life that isn’t hers, feeling like she downloads memories each time, aware she’s lost herself. A dance-pop dream of identity drift, disconnection, and the echo of who she used to be.

Imposter Syndrome
VERSE AND CHORUS
Song Lyrics
(Who am I, who am I now?)
(Download me, baby…)
(Every morning’s someone else somehow…)
Open my eyes to a penthouse view,
Lipstick kiss in a shade I never knew.
High heels by a door I don’t recall,
But I strut like I belong to it all.
Got the moves, got the smile on cue,
But inside, I’m just passing through.
Heartbeat’s syncing to a stranger’s beat
Am I her, or just on repeat?
Wake me new, turn me on,
Plug me into where she’s gone.
Living out a memory I never knew,
But it fits me like a déjà vu.
Flash that name, fake that glow,
But I still feel like I don’t know.
So close to the rhythm, but it’s not my tune
Wake me new, wake me soon.
Every text, every name I fake,
Another smile that I gotta remake.
Spotlight hits, and I play the part,
But I can’t locate my missing heart.
All these passwords, all these signs,
Still can’t log into what was mine.
She’s the star, I’m just the screen,
Caught between the real and dream.
Wake me new, turn me on,
Plug me into where she’s gone.
Living out a memory I never knew,
But it fits me like a déjà vu.
Flash that name, fake that glow,
But I still feel like I don’t know.
So close to the rhythm, but it’s not my tune
Wake me new, wake me soon.
Mirror, mirror, who’s that girl?
Switching bodies, swapping worlds.
Feel her love, feel her pain
But I can’t feel my own name…
Wake me new, turn me on,
Plug me into where she’s gone.
Living out a memory I never knew,
But it fits me like a déjà vu.
Flash that name, fake that glow,
But I still feel like I don’t know.
So close to the rhythm, but it’s not my tune
Wake me new… wake me soon…
Wake me soon, wake me new.
Wake me soon.
Wake me soon.
Wake me wake me soon…
