4Ever Jealous
03:01

You try as you might
Keep giving the fight
Put in countless hours
Blood, sweat, and tears
You do all you can
But can’t get over the fact
That all of your friends
Seem to succeed faster than you
They put the work in
Just like you did
But you think you deserve it
more than they did
It doesn’t matter how hard they tried
How much they sacrificed
You will always remain
Forever Jealous
You closed so many doors
to follow your dreams
you threw away chances
with so many now exes
Your friends canceled so many plans
just for a chance at success
cried themselves to sleep on countless nights but you don't care
They put the work in
Just like you did
But you think you deserve it
more than they did
It doesn’t matter how hard they tried
How much they sacrificed
You will always remain
Forever Jealous

Half the Harm

I stare at pictures of you
I can't believe how lucky I am
Everything feels like a dream
I can't believe where I am
This seems so unreal
It feels as if I'm in a romcom
One where a guy get's lucky
With their best friend
Is this real? is this unreal?
This is like driving around
with one headlight on
We know the danger
but only want to see half the harm
But we don't care
It seems real enough
To hold us down
Where we belong
It's totally worth it
It's totally worth it
It's totally not worthless
It's totally worth it
It's totally worth it
It's totally not worthless
This is like driving around
with one headlight on
We know the danger
but only want to see half the harm
But we don't care
It seems real enough
To hold us down
Where we belong

Garbage Truck

Take a chance on me
I promise you I'll let you down
That's the kind of guy, guy, guy
That you really like, like, like, like
Don't get all huffy on me
When that's the only kind
You ever go out with
You ain't happy unless you're angry
It's okay! We all know you wanna
Drive a garbage truck all around town
Isn't that why all your boyfriends
Were all pure garbage?
It's okay! We all know you wanna
Drive a garbage truck all around town
Isn't that why all your girlfriends
Were all pure garbage?
Don't come at me, why u so mad?
You like having a reason to be sad
Or you wouldn't keep dating jerks
Who don't even wanna work
You can deny it all you want
But don't you come up here
And try to lie to my face
You're only hurting yourself
It's okay! We all know you wanna
Drive a garbage truck all around town
Isn't that why all your boyfriends
Were all pure garbage?
It's okay! We all know you wanna
Drive a garbage truck all around town
Isn't that why all your girlfriends
Were all pure garbage?

Future Shock
04:00

Do you remember hanging out?
Partying with all your friends?
Going to backyard shows
In good ol' La Puente?
What happened to the good old days?
Why is the future so strange?
Nobody ever warned me
My body would hate me at 40
The struggle is real
This is a real future shock
I don't see the appeal
Why'd we rush to grow up?
Future shock!
Future shock!
The liquor store around the corner
Isn't there any more
The comic shop I used to go to
Is now an adult store
The 24-hour taco shop
Is now a McDonald's
And all the kids I grew up with
Now have their own kids and I have none.
The struggle is real
This is a real future shock
I don't see the appeal
Why'd we rush to grow up?
Future shock!
Future shock!
The girl I crushed on in highschool
Is now marrying off her kids
The dudes I used mosh with
Are now working double shifts
The bands that got me through highschool
Are now retired or dead
The shows we loved are now cringe
I'm only 43 don't you call me a boomer
The struggle is real
This is a real future shock
I don't see the appeal
Why'd we rush to grow up?
Future shock!
Future shock!

Rise Up!

Another day full of disappointment
Another day to be let down again
Another day to remind you
Why you left this town again
Everyone is on a self-destructive path
And trying to bring everyone down with them
No one tries to move forward
They live to drown in the past
Gotta keep your head up!
Rise above the rising tides
You can do this, don't give up
Believe in me, who believes in you
Rise up!
You've got this!
Rise up!
Don't hurt yourself!
Rise up!
You're not alone my friend
Rise up!
I got your back till the end
Another day full of disappointment
Another day to be let down again
Another day to remind you
Why you left this town again
Everyone is on a self-destructive path
And trying to bring everyone down with them
No one tries to move forward
They live to drown in the past
Gotta keep your head up!
Rise above the rising tides
You can do this, don't give up
Believe in the me, who believes in you
Rise up!
You got this!
Rise up!
Don't slit that wrist!
Rise up!
You're not alone
Rise up!
I got your back till the end

Arcade Destiny Anaheim, California
I'm just a dude making his own punk influenced synthwave / electronic music. Heavily influenced by the good old 90s punk
sound( NoFx, No use for a name, propagandhi, mxpx, face to face, etc.,) and Synthwave acts like hubrid, cluster buster, and Perturbator.
(Formerly known as the GhostDrive)

If you like Arcade Destiny, you may also like:
Gloriously primal music that recalls the glory days of early ’80s industrial, icy drum machines clashing with searing synths.

Here kitty, kitty! The synthwave genius returns with a whole new batch of hooky, metal-edged songs that are more fun than a ball of yarn.
go to album
Cat Temper is back with another helping of searing synthwave; the song titles may be tongue-in-cheek, but the music is no joke.
go to album
The Bristol duo's debut smashes together acid beats, punishing hardcore, and harsh now into songs that are deliberately overwhelming and intense.
