[Intro] [soft tape hiss, distant radio ambience, detuned piano] I have been here before... Or somewhere almost the same. A door I know without remembering, A face without a name. [Verse 1] There's a room behind my eyes, I've never seen, but I know the light. The furniture is rearranged, But somehow everything's right. A voice is waiting in the hallway, A sentence almost said, I know exactly what comes next, Before it enters my head. [Pre-Chorus] [slow pulsing synth, reversed vocal fragments] For just a second, The present slips away, And something from nowhere Is standing in its place. [Chorus] [wide dreamy synths, soft four-on-the-floor beat] Déjà vu, Like a dream I nearly knew, A photograph that's fading While I'm looking straight at you. Déjà vu, Then it's gone before I do, A little ghost of memory That never belonged to you. [Post-Chorus] [ringcoder vocal echoes, shimmering arpeggio] Was it yesterday? Was it somewhere else? Was it only something I invented for myself? [Verse 2] I walk beneath familiar skies, Though I have never walked this street. The air feels strangely borrowed, And the rhythm knows my feet. A moment folds upon itself, A circle made of time. I reach for what I almost know, And lose it as I find. [Pre-Chorus] [beat begins to fracture, granular vocal echoes] For just a second, The future feels rehearsed, Like I have heard this silence Before I heard the words. [Chorus] [edm beat blooms, nostalgic synth lead] Déjà vu, Like a dream I nearly knew, A photograph that's fading While I'm looking straight at you. Déjà vu, Then it's gone before I do, A little ghost of memory That never belonged to you. [Instrumental Break] [deep sub bass, pulsing kick, ringcoder vocal fragments] I remember... I remember... I remember... [ringcoder vocal, increasingly synthetic] But what? [Breakdown] [everything drops away except tape hiss, distant piano and breath] Maybe memory isn't memory. Maybe time is only light. Maybe every now and then Two moments overlap at night. And for one impossible heartbeat, The distance disappears... I stand inside a moment That has not happened for years. [Final Chorus] [huge hazy edm swell, shimmering pads, layered ringcoder harmonies] Déjà vu, A shadow passing through, A place I never lived in That somehow feels like you. Déjà vu, A signal breaking through, I hold it for a second... Then there's nothing left to hold. [Outro] [beat dissolves, tape slowdown, distant ringcoder echo] Just before I remember... I forget. Just before I find it... It disappears. [final tape hiss, reversed piano note, silence]
