[Verse 1] Leaving the party Same coat different person Cab receipt In a name that isn't certain Glass half present On the windowsill The apartment waits For whatever comes until [Pre-Chorus] Borderline The kind that shifts with light Something below the surface Something almost right [Chorus] Activation threshold On everything it gates Activation threshold What crosses what stays High enough to fire Low enough to hold Activation threshold Between the warm and cold [Verse 2] Bias term Shifted one degree Sigmoid function Deciding what to free Pre-activation Hovering at point four The neuron almost fires Then returns to the floor [Pre-Chorus] Sub-threshold The potential builds and waits Something almost active Something at the gates [Chorus] Activation threshold On everything it gates Activation threshold What crosses what stays High enough to fire Low enough to hold Activation threshold Between the warm and cold [Bridge] Don't adjust it Don't suppress it Hold the value In the membrane Where the signal Starts to split into Fire No fire One Zero The same input Two possible realities [Final Chorus] Binary But nothing feels that way Binary The gradient disagrees Sharp enough to decide Soft enough to doubt Binary Inside and out [Outro] Still deciding Still at point four Still hovering Still at the threshold
