🎵 LYRICS — “Dissolving Town” (free-form, drifting structure) Intro (soft, distant) Moving out… moving on… the world he knew… has been withdrawn… Section 1 The streetlight hums in daylight now, Shadows fall the wrong way round, Every door’s a memory half-open, Every step don’t make a sound. Names are peeling off the windows, Clocks forget what time they keep, Someone’s calling from the hillside… Or maybe that’s just sleep. Lift (harmonies bloom) Moving out… moving on… Like a tune that’s half a song, Hold it close… it won’t stay long… The world he knew… has been withdrawn… Section 2 There’s a shop that sells tomorrows, But it closed before he came, And the river writes in circles Where it used to write his name. He can hear the band still playing, Though the stage is long gone bare, Every chord hangs in the ether… Like it’s waiting in the air. Drift Passage (instrument-led) (mellotron + reversed guitar + sitar drone) Section 3 Children laugh in echoes only, Footsteps fade before they land, Paper headlines rewrite themselves In a language he can’t understand. Every face becomes a question, Every answer slips away, Like the town is softly breathing… Then forgetting how to stay. Bridge (crescendo — surreal textures build) Bells are ringing underwater, Voices speaking through the wire, Fragments falling into rhythm, Smoke that turns itself to fire. Radio ghosts are tuning in, From somewhere just beyond, “Nothing’s lost,” they keep repeating… “Just moving on… just moving on…” Final Lift (full harmony) Moving out… moving on… Every right becomes a wrong, Every day becomes a dawn… The world he knew… has been withdrawn… Outro (fading, whispered layers) Moving… moving… on… (reversed vocal tail, dissolving into ambience)
