[Spoken Word Intro] [Sound of analog radio tuning, heavy static and tape hiss] ["...the frequency is drifting... please stay asleep..."] [Instrumental Intro] [Soft Wurlitzer electric piano enters through the static] (la la la... la la...) [Verse 1] [Whispered, fragile vocals] Early morning, city waking up People greeting, cars begin to purr But I stay buried in the hush Deep inside this gentle sleep... (gentle sleep) [Verse 2] [Slightly distorted lo-fi vocals] I don't want to open my eyes I already know what waits outside Same cracked sidewalks, same tired light Same empty rooms, same heavy quiet... (heavy quiet) [Chorus] [Ethereal dream pop melody, lush synth pads] Dreams don't ask me to explain They just let me float and fade Reality just pulls the strings I don't want to wake, don't want to wake [Verse 3] [Mellotron strings enter, melancholic tone] If my eyes could show the things I've seen Would the daylight even let them breathe? Would the morning steal the colors too? Leave me staring at the same dull view... (dull view) [Instrumental Break] [Sudden shift: Slow, heavily distorted guitar solo over warm Wurlitzer] [Chorus] [Dynamic lift, emotional, layered vocals] Dreams don't ask me to explain They just let me float and fade Reality just pulls the strings I don't want to wake, don't want to wake (don't want to wake... don't want to wake...) [Outro] [Music slowing down, radio static returns] (la la la... la la…) [Spoken outro, fading out] ["...just a dream..."] [End]
