Decouple

[Intro] (no vocals — detuned piano motif, distant analog pulses, low ambient resonance) [Verse 1 — Astra] You move like every outcome Already passed through your hands Like certainty became muscle memory Somewhere long before me And I kept mistaking distance For emotional stability Until I realized You were standing inside every possibility at once [Pre-Chorus — Astra] Like particles refusing collapse The closer I look The less defined you become [Chorus — Both] We exist in superposition Half connection Half escape Every move creates entanglement Every silence shifts the state You call it strategic spacing I call it disappearing slowly Somewhere between observation And decoupling [Verse 2 — Rex] I learned early The board changes shape under pressure Certain configurations survive Only by sacrificing proximity There are openings that look like mercy Until ten moves reveal the structure beneath them That’s the danger of attachment It alters calculation [Pre-Chorus — Rex] Even orbiting bodies separate eventually Given enough interference [Chorus — Both] We exist in superposition Half devotion Half delay Every touch creates recursion Every absence rearranges space You call it self-preservation I call it collapsing softly Somewhere between inevitability And decoupling [Bridge — Both] (Astra softer underneath Rex harmonies) ASTRA: You keep partitioning yourself Like distance can reduce the damage REX: And you keep moving closer Like coherence survives observation ASTRA: Maybe neither of us understands What happens after collapse REX: Maybe the system was unstable Long before we arrived [Final Chorus — Both] Now every pathway branches strangely Every future flickers incomplete And somewhere beyond prediction The pieces stop obeying me We were never truly isolated Only temporarily unresolved Balanced inside uncertainty Until the waveform dissolved [Outro — Both] (soft overlapping harmonies) Not broken Just… decoupled
