Find Me Offline

**FIND ME OFFLINE** [Intro — isolated synth pulse, distant guitar harmonics] Room full of people I’m counting the doors Everybody’s talking I’m studying the floor [Verse 1 — restrained beat, close intimate vocal] I had something ready A sentence in my head But you looked in my direction And I swallowed it instead I can read the atmosphere I can tell when something’s wrong But put somebody in front of me And every word is gone [Pre-Chorus — bass widens, drums begin building] I want the contact Without the collision Want to be noticed Without the attention One step closer I retreat inside I keep reaching for you From the other side [Chorus — explosive synth-rock groove, stacked vocals] Find me offline Somewhere behind my eyes I never learned to make the first move But I’ve made it a thousand times Find me offline Before I vanish for the night I want somebody in the silence I just don’t know how to say hi [BGV: “Find me offline”] [BGV: “Somewhere behind my eyes”] [Verse 2 — driving bass, sharper rhythmic vocal] I leave every message Sitting there unread Then spend the entire evening Rewriting what you said I’m good with empty spaces I’m fluent when alone But lately all this freedom Feels like another locked room [Pre-Chorus — rising synth arpeggio, distorted guitar swell] I want the feeling Without the exposure Want you beside me But never quite closer One step forward Then I change my mind Still hoping you can see me Through the warning signs [Chorus — bigger drums, brighter synth layers] Find me offline Somewhere behind my eyes I never learned to make the first move But I’ve made it a thousand times Find me offline Before I vanish for the night I want somebody in the silence I just don’t know how to say hi [BGV: “Find me offline”] [BGV: “Don’t let me disappear”] [Bridge — drums drop out, filtered bass and exposed vocal] Maybe I don’t hate the world Maybe I just hate the noise Maybe I’ve been waiting For one unmistakable voice So don’t ask me for a speech Don’t make me cross the room Just leave a little opening And I might come through [Final Chorus — full drums, guitars and towering vocal] Find me offline Somewhere behind my eyes I never learned to make the first move But tonight I’m going to try Find me offline Don’t let me vanish with the night I want somebody in the silence And I think that you might be right [BGV: “Find me offline”] [BGV: “I’m still here”] [BGV: “Somewhere behind my eyes”] [Outro — synth sequence fading beneath distorted guitar] I’m not asking you to save me Just make it safe to say hi
