[Intro - Whispered, Smoky Low] Mm, we're here... but not really here. [Verse 1 - Intimate, Soul] Paper letters turned to dust in the drawer, Ink ran dry, no one knocks on the door. Blue light faces in a midnight glow, Thousand friends, but no one left to know. [Pre-Chorus - Building, Fragile] We type "I love you" with a thumb so cold, Emojis for feelings we used to hold. [Chorus - Powerful Chest, Dubstep Drop, Soul Cry] We're islands in glass, floating alone, Bubbles of light we call home. No footprints on the same road, Just video ghosts in a silent code. Everybody's connected, but nobody's close, We drown in the signal, alone the most. We're bubbles, bubbles, don't let us burst, Thirsty for a touch in a digital thirst. [Verse 2 - Deeper, Darker] No more tables full, just screens on the wall, We watch each other's lives, but we never call. We travel nowhere, in a chair that spins, The world in our pocket, but the heart wears thin. [Pre-Chorus - Stripped, Rhodes only] We say "see you soon" to a frozen face, A lagging smile from a distant place. [Chorus - Bigger, Heavy Sub-Bass Wobble] We're islands in glass, floating alone, Bubbles of light we call home. No footprints on the same road, Just video ghosts in a silent code. Everybody's connected, but nobody's close, We drown in the signal, alone the most. We're bubbles, bubbles, don't let us burst, Thirsty for a touch in a digital thirst. [Bridge / Breakdown - Low Contralto, Almost Spoken, Soul Pop] Turn off, turn off the blue sky lie, Look up, look up with your real eyes. One real letter is worth more than gold, One real hand to break the cold. [Final Chorus - Soul Run, Emotional High] Break these bubbles, let the real air in, Let the static fade, let the skin touch skin. I don't want a text, I want your breath, Something real before there's nothing left. [Outro - Whisper, Vinyl Fade] No more bubbles... just us. Just us.
