  📝 LYRICS (polyglot, fractured, half-invented — spoken, whispered, screamed, and sung) (0:00–0:50: Intro — detuned bagpipe drone swells under soft bus rumble, distant PA crackle) Edgware Road — the notes don’t line up Bus 206 hums in a key no map can find 12 steps burn — 43 remain The streetlights sing in a language without name (0:50–1:45: First rupture — tempo spikes, toy keyboard stutters, vocals slice like corrupted files) Zha-va-ko! — the concrete breathes Frequencies bleed — under, between, beneath Clock hands spin backwards — numbers melt I count in gaps where the world itself is unspelt (1:45–2:40: Middle section — throat singing + Meredith Monk-style wordless harmonies, microtonal metal chimes drift in and out) [layered, overlapping, no words — low guttural hum rises into piercing, bird-like ululation; notes slide between piano keys] …oo-ah-zha… neh-vir-ah… no centre, no edge… (2:40–3:35: Full chaos — bagpipe wails, metal clangs, modem screech, three vocal lines in different time signatures) Signal lost — signal found — signal rots! Every rule a ghost — every tone a knot! Not high — not low — not here — not there! The song we forgot we were singing — everywhere! (3:35–4:12: Dissolution — layers peel away, leaving only one bowed saw note + quiet rain) …one breath… no scale… no end… [fades to absolute silence — sudden, unearned]   🎛️ ARRANGEMENT BREAKDOWN - 0:00–0:50: Detuned bagpipe drone + field recordings (night bus, rain, distorted PA) — slow, uncanny, familiar-but-wrong - 0:50–1:45: Glitch drop — circuit-bent toy melody, stuttering vocal fragments, erratic percussion from scrap metal - 1:45–2:40: Microtonal drift — bowed saw, throat singing, metal idiophones — harmonies that feel "off" but hypnotic - 2:40–3:35: Total collapse — 3 overlapping time signatures, all instruments at once, modem screech as lead texture - 3:35–4:12: Decompression — every element stripped back to one drifting note, then silence
