[Intro] [Heavy vinyl crackle, slow distorted bass pulse] [Sparse clicking percussion mimics a keyboard] [Male spoken, low with tape delay] Connection established. Awaiting the packet. [Verse 1] [Syncopated ticking hi-hats enter] [Female vocal, breathy and close] Three little bubbles dancing on the glass I watch the heavy agonizing minutes pass They rise and fall, a digital tease A cruel manipulation of the evening breeze You start to type, the animation glows Then disappears into the undertow I trace the screen, my finger growing cold Waiting for a story that is never told The proxy server holds my breath inside There is absolutely nowhere left to hide [Pre-Chorus] [Eerie synthesizer drone swells] The signal hangs suspended in the dark A microscopic, hesitating spark [Male spoken] (Packet lost. Re-routing.) [Chorus] [Massive sub-bass drop, heavy drum break] Caught in the latency, waiting on the wire Feeding all my panic to a localized fire The distance is a fraction of a millisecond pace But it feels like an eternity of empty space I am staring at the flicker of a gray design Losing my religion on a dotted line (Waiting on the wire) Just a phantom transmission (Waiting on the wire) In a state of submission [Verse 2] [Music strips back to just the bass and a glitching snare] Did you rephrase the sentence? Did you change your mind? Did you leave the heavy syllable completely behind? I analyze the rhythm of the typing indicator Playing the pathetic and obsessive calculator The battery is dropping to a critical low And I have got a million heavy miles to go A modern isolation in a crowded room Staring at the pixelated, glowing tomb [Pre-Chorus] [Eerie synthesizer drone swells] The signal hangs suspended in the dark A microscopic, hesitating spark [Male spoken] (Connection timed out. Retry.) [Chorus] [Massive sub-bass drop, heavy drum break, sweeping melancholic strings] Caught in the latency, waiting on the wire Feeding all my panic to a localized fire The distance is a fraction of a millisecond pace But it feels like an eternity of empty space I am staring at the flicker of a gray design Losing my religion on a dotted line [Outro] [Music gradually heavily low-pass filters into a muddy rumble] [Female vocal, whispering] Message failed. [Male spoken] (Shut it down.) [Complete silence]
