In My Dreams

[Intro | Vinyl crackle | Dusty Rhodes | Dub sub | Needle noise] [Slow filtered break emerges | Scratch fragments] [Verse 1 | Female British London | Dry, intimate, understated] I close my eyes And there you are [Small breath | Break filters down] Your beautiful smile Your tangled heart [Sub rolls underneath] You move like smoke Through my mind [Vinyl ghost texture] I reach for you Every time [Pre-Chorus | Female | Emotion building | Break fragments multiply] Don't wake me up Don't say a word [Rhodes darkens | Reverse sample] You feel so near When I'm half hurt [Build | Snare fragments | Rising dub feedback] [Turntable brake] [Silence] [Chorus | Female | Heavy Bristol break | Massive dub bass] I see you in my dreams I see you in my dreams [Sub drop | Scratch response] Come back to me Come back to me [Break switches | Ghost snares] I see you in my dreams I see you in my dreams [Voice opens] Stay one more night Stay one more night [Turntablism break | Transformer scratches | Chopped "dreams" | Backspin] [New darker break drops] [Rap Verse 1 | Male London Estuary | Fast rhythmic spoken rap | Continuous unbroken flow through final line | Dry close-mic | No singing | Heavy swung Bristol break | Deep dub sub] Yeah, I look at the ceiling and talk to the space that you left in the room Trying to separate what is a memory from what I buried too soon You move like a ghost in the corridor, leaving me questioning what is real Losing my grip on the narrative, numbing out everything I should feel It’s a low-fi loop in my head, state of emergency, caught in the imagery Every single step that I take is just reminding me of your symmetry I push it all down to the bottom but honestly it’s just a temporary fix Reaching for something that isn't there, waking up lonely at 2:06 Yeah, waking up lonely at 2:06... [Backspin | Dub echo | Break dissolves] [Verse 2 | Female | Intimate | Rhodes and skeletal break] Morning breaks And you fade fast [Small breath] But your memory Always lasts [Sub creeps upward] On my tongue Your name stays [Fragile] Like a song I can’t erase [Pre-Chorus | Female | Break rebuilding] Don't wake me up Don't say a word [Dub echoes widen] You feel so near When I'm half hurt [Build | Chopped break | Scratch rise | Bass pressure] [Vinyl brake] [Chorus | Female | Heavier break | Deep dub bass] I see you in my dreams I see you in my dreams [Massive sub response] Come back to me Come back to me [Break switches] I see you in my dreams I see you in my dreams [Scratch accents] Stay one more night Stay one more night [Turntable workout | Transformer cuts | Backspin | Chopped vocal fragments] [Dirty break slams in] [Rap Verse 2 | Male London Estuary | Fast rhythmic spoken rap | Continuous unbroken flow through final line | Dry close-mic | No singing | Heavy Bristol break | Deep dub sub | Gradually increasing intensity] Yeah, morning arrives with a heavy hand, pulling the curtain and breaking the spell I gotta face the reality, living inside of a shell You stay on my tongue like a bitter taste, beautiful melody turned to a scar Crazy how someone can be in your bloodstream but still be so incredibly far I write these lines in the dark, hoping the bass line will carry the weight Chasing a shadow that fades in the light, fighting a battle with fate You look so perfect in moments I make up, I'm holding my breath till I choke But the sun always comes for the fantasy, watching you turn into smoke Yeah, watching you turn into smoke... [Backspin | Rhythm collapses | Dub echo decay] [Bridge | Female British London vocal returns | Fragile, melodic | Rhodes | Vinyl crackle | No drums] [Bridge | Female returns | Fragile | Rhodes | Vinyl crackle | No drums] If love is gone [Pause] Why do you stay? [Record noise | Distant reversed sample] Soft as moonlight Falling my way [Hold] [Final Build | Filtered break slowly emerges | Scratch fragments | Sub rising] [Break chops faster | Dub feedback builds] [Turntable brake | Silence] [Final Chorus | Female | Huge Bristol break | Maximum dub sub] I see you in my dreams I see you in my dreams [Massive bass drop] Come back to me Come back to me [Break switches | Transformer scratches] I see you in my dreams I see you in my dreams [Full release] Stay one more night Stay one more night [Extended Turntablism Outro | Heavy break | Sub-bass] [Scratch phrases | Backspins | Chopped "dreams" | Dub delays] [Break progressively deconstructs] [Female | Close-mic over Rhodes] Stay one more night... [Needle crackle | Rhodes decay | Sub fades] [End]
