ELYKA
Not on the List
Fictional artists. Music and visuals made with generative AI.
Friday night in Tokyo. The line wraps around the block, everyone dressed for someone. I walked right past it in sweatpants. Last winter I was on the other side of that rope, three percent on my phone, hands inside my sleeves. Fair enough, I wasn't there yet. Tonight the doorman asked for my name. I just pointed up at the wall. And when it was my turn to lift the rope, I let them all in.
- ELYKA 🍁
Not on the list / Lift the velvet rope
Lyrics
Verse 1
Friday, the line's around the block
Everybody's dressed for someone
Phones up, checking the time
A doorman with a clipboard
I walk right past the queue
Somebody says "Excuse you"
He asks me for my name
I point up at the wall
Read all the lyricsShow less
Pre-Chorus
Black letters
Ten feet tall
Lit up for the night
Chorus
Not on the list
(I'm on the poster)
Lift the velvet rope
Let me through
Not on the list
(Look a little higher)
That's my name
Up in the lights
Post-Chorus
(On the poster)
Verse 2
Last winter, same street
I was the one outside
Three percent on my phone
Hands inside my sleeves
He never looked my way
Fair enough, I wasn't there yet
Now he holds the door
Like we go way back
Pre-Chorus
Same street
Same door
Other side of the rope
Chorus
Not on the list
(I'm on the poster)
Lift the velvet rope
Let me through
Not on the list
(Look a little higher)
That's my name
Up in the lights
Bridge
Two minutes to go
The room goes dark
I can hear them breathe
This is the part I love
Count me in
Count me in
Final Chorus
Not on the list
(I'm on the poster)
Lift the velvet rope
Let me through
Not on the list
(Look a little higher)
Now lift it for the line
(Let them in)
Outro
(Let them in)
