[Something is missing from the pattern…23326...but the system keeps running] [Intro] [Massive, washed-out sub-bass pulse] [Sound of a digital tape being chewed, then reversed] [Deep, distorted dron, static wisper] 0...0...0....0... Where does it start? 9....9....9... Where does it end? [Verse 1] [Slow, dragging industrial beat—60 BPM] (Deep robotic voice): Input. (Staticky whisper): Alpha. The right path is always wrong. I saw the light before I saw the sun. The race was over before it begun. [High-pitched digital ringing] Is this the waking? Or is this the sleep? [Reverse audio swell] You seek the door. You are the key. You seek the shore. You are the sea. [Hook] [Walls of "shoegaze" wall-of-sound distortion] ΛLPHΛ. (Voices reciting: 1... 1... 1...) OMΞGΛ. (Voices reciting: ∞... ∞... ∞...) The circle is bleeding. The signal is gone. The dusk is just a different dawn. [Verse 2] [Beat cuts to just a clicking clock sound and heavy static] Trace the line back to the source. A dead star on a steady course. My hands are empty. My eyes are wide. Before the word. There was the sound. Before the sky. There was the ground. The first is the last. The last is the first. (Robotic voice): Nothing is ever lost. Nothing is ever destroyed. [Vocal stutter: E-N-D... E-N-D...] Is this the floor? Or is this the sky? I am the hello. I am the goodbye. [Heavy analog crackle—the sound of a dial turning through static] (Television Voice - muffled, mid-range focus): "...It is a fundamental law. A certainty. We must understand that in this system... nothing is truly lost." [Bridge] [Sound of a choir slowed down 800%, layered with robotic static] (Robotic voice): Calculating beginning... (Error sound) (Robotic voice): Calculating end... (Error sound) There is no border. There is no wall. The rise is exactly the same as the fall. [Sudden total silence, then the Television Voice becomes clear and centered] (Television Voice): "It simply... changes its shape. It moves from one state to another. From the spark to the ash. The total sum remains... constant." (echoing) Always (always-always-always-always) [Outro] [The beat slows down further, becoming a sludge-like drone] (Deep robotic voice): Output. (Staticky whisper): Omega. The circuit is closed. [The sound begins to loop perfectly into the Intro hum] (Deep drone): 0 (Faded whisper): It’s starting again.
