Feature: Redraw the screen like a player when idle #5

Great idea from @dthree:

I was thinking it'd be really cool if, when the CLI goes idle for more than 15 seconds or so, it can start redrawing the screen like a player, something like this (but prettier and with colors, obviously):

The bottom section would stick to the bottom of the screen.

When in this mode, the left key could be like the back button of a player, the right key the next button, and up and down would scroll the lyrics.

As soon as you start typing any other command, the normal CLI would resume.
