[verse 1] I saw the sun bend backwards just to get away My echo told me secrets that I couldn’t say We’re spiraling in colors that don’t have names Caught in the orbit of yesterday’s flames [doubled vocal line] [saturated room reverb on final word] [chorus] Everything’s a little out of phase But I like it better that way Voices bloom like flowers in delay In the dream I choose to stay [hook harmony stack] [call-and-response falsetto adlibs] [verse 2] Time slips sideways when you say my name I chase reflections I already became The ceiling melts, I swear I hear it sing It’s always louder when you don’t say a thing [breathy delay trail] [doubled vocal pan L/R] [spacey breakdown] Ch— ch— changing my direction Dir— direction— less connection Lost in the refrac— refrac— reflection [glitchy repetition FX] [falsetto drift + filtered vocal loop] [bridge] Waves of me keep folding in Can’t tell where I end or begin Silhouettes that used to feel like skin Are just light bending back again [spoken word adlib behind falsetto] [vocals layered with synth pad swells] [chorus] Everything’s a little out of phase But I like it better that way Voices bloom like flowers in delay In the dream I choose to stay [hook harmony stack] [call-and-response falsetto adlibs] [breathy delay trail] [doubled vocal pan L/R] [spacey breakdown] Ch— ch— changing my direction Dir— direction— less connection Lost in the refrac— refrac— reflection [glitchy repetition FX] [falsetto drift + filtered vocal loop] [chorus] Everything’s a little out of phase But I like it better that way Voices bloom like flowers in delay In the dream I choose to stay [instrumental fade out] [ending]
