*Just a Dream* *Neon Øminiria: Between Worlds* [INTRO — very sparse, atmospheric; distant analog synth drone; tape hiss; isolated electric piano notes; no vocals for several seconds] A blue light. An open door. Someone calling. I can't remember. [PAUSE — long silence; faint reversed sound emerging] A clock stops. The room is empty. My hands are shaking. But I feel nothing. [VERSE — intimate fragile vocal; minimal bass; soft psychedelic guitar textures; loose timing] Neon rain. Cold skin. A familiar face. A stranger's eyes. One more step. No ground beneath me. I hear my name. Then silence. [INSTRUMENTAL JAM — drums enter gradually; deep organic bass; psychedelic guitar; irregular accents; free improvisation; do not sound polished or predictable] A red moon. A broken window. Something is watching. Or maybe I am. [PAUSE — instruments suddenly stop] Is this a dream? [WHISPER — distant, layered voices] Is this a dream? [BUILD — hypnotic bass groove; distorted synth pulse; drums become more expressive; vocals increasingly emotional] Just a dream. Just a Dawn. I close my eyes. I see it again. Just a dream. Just a dream. But why does it feel so real? [EXPERIMENTAL BREAK — free-form jam; reversed piano; guitar feedback; modular synth fragments; changing tempo; fragmented vocals] Same street. Different sky. Same voice. Different words. I have been here. I have never been here. [PAUSE — almost complete silence] Is this only a dream? [LOW WHISPER] Only a dream? [SECOND BUILD — psychedelic progressive groove; wider harmonies; emotional vocal layers; unexpected rhythmic changes] Just a dream. Just a dream. I wake up. Nothing is there. Just a dream. Just a Dawn. Then why do I remember tomorrow? [CLIMAX — full band jam; expansive synths; soaring guitar; powerful organic drums; layered Björk-like experimental vocal textures; cinematic intensity] Maybe I dreamed the waking. Maybe I woke inside the dream. Maybe the sky was never the sky. Maybe the door was never a door. Maybe I am here. Maybe I am there. Maybe both. [LONG PAUSE — everything disappears except a faint sustained tone] Is it only a dream? [WHISPER — almost spoken] Or is the dream only another place? [FINAL — music suddenly becomes calm; warm synth drone; distant piano; unresolved harmony] Yes. (Just a dream. Just a dream.) It was a dream. I saw it. I lived it. I lost it. Then I woke. But somewhere... another version did not. [OUTRO — gradually dissolve; reversed vocals; distant guitar feedback; leave the final harmony unresolved] Just a dream. Maybe. A dream in this reality. A life in another. A memory waiting somewhere else. Just a dream. ... Or maybe dreams are real where we cannot wake up. [FINAL WHISPER — very distant] Just a dream. Maybe. Maybe. Just a dream. -------------------------- [RIGHTS & CREDITS] [© 2026 The Neon Dawn.
