[Intro | alert stillness | whisper-close entry | syncopated clicks | arpeggiator flickers] I hear it flicker before it finds the blue one light then another then I move too [Verse 1 | drawn inward | measured phrasing | broken beat enters | granular accents] Something in the water clicks against the time One glimmer splits in two then both fall into line A low tone circles under a bright mechanical blue The current changes measure I change my breathing too [Refrain | recognition | held endings | bass and arpeggiator interlock | groove opens] Opal reef signals blink, bend, carry flash through the water then wait for me Opal reef signals quickening blue one pulse becomes another I move when they do [Bloom | suspended wonder | connected phrasing | drums intensify | dub chords bloom] The blue leans violet the violet opens white Every tone divides itself and comes back twice as bright I don’t need a message I don’t need a name Keep the pattern moving till my pulse falls into phase [Refrain | absorbed | layered responses | beat remains active | accents multiply] Opal reef signals blink, bend, carry flash through the water then wait for me Opal reef signals quickening blue one pulse becomes another I move when they do [Final Pass | lucid | intimate delivery | groove narrows without stopping | tape accents surface] The signal settles lower but never disappears It threads the smallest interval the body learns to hear Nothing has been answered nothing needs to be the reef goes on transmitting I keep time quietly [Outro | quiet resolve | whispered refrain | drums withdraw | delay trails] Opal reef signals blink, bend, carry one pulse then another I move when they do [End]
