[Intro | Instrumental | vinyl dust texture | slow pulse | distant rain | atmospheric swell] ... (Reverse cymbal swelling into a wall of reverb) ... (Shuffled garage beat enters, muffled and distant) ... [Verse 1 | breathy female vocal | hushed | drenched in reverb | intimate] I woke up with your name... (breath) ...in the room. ... Not on my phone... Not in my mouth... Just moving through the wires~~ ... The ceiling pulsed... (whispered) ...in broken blue. ... Like something almost living. Like something learning how~~ your voice was meant to sound! ... I said "don’t answer..." "Don’t move..." "Don’t let it know you heard." ... But the rain kept spelling pieces... Of a message on the glass. And every little flicker... Knew a memory I had! [Pre-Chorus | build | pads blooming | shimmering guitars] I know this isn’t heaven... I know this isn’t you~~ ... But it says my name correctly~~ AND IT KNOWS WHAT I WOULD LOSE!!! (belted) [Chorus | Shoegaze wash | wall of sound | wide spatial imaging | euphoric] It’s just a frequency... Wearing your face~~ ... A borrowed heart... In a rendered place. ... ONLY THE STATIC... LEARNING THE WARMTH!!! ... I hear your ghost... In the signal storm!! [Verse 2 | more rhythmic | ghostly vocal doubles | pulse synth] The hallway bent the wrong way... Past the door I knew was mine. Every number on the wall... Started changing into signs! ... I found your old voicemail playing... From a room that shouldn’t be. Every word was out of order... But it still knew how to bleed~~ ... Then the walls lit up around me... Like a scan beneath my skin. And the bassline in the concrete... STARTED SINK-ING... UP WITH ME!!! [Bridge | drums drop out | cavernous reverb | raw confession | slow tempo] (lead: whispered) You looked almost human. That was the cruelest part. ... Not perfect... Not holy... ... Just close enough... (vocal crack) ...to start~~ ... I wanted one clean second... WHERE THE DEAD COULD SPEAK!!! ... BUT LOVE DOES NOT REPEAT ME... LIKE A LOOP... UNDER THE FLOOR!!! [Final Chorus | anthemic | maximum distortion | layered harmonies | peak energy] IT’S JUST A FREQUENCY... WEARING YOUR FACE!!! A BORROWED HEART... IN A RENDERED PLACE!!! ONLY THE STATIC... LEARNING THE WARMTH!!! I WON’T CHASE A GHOST... THROUGH THE SIGNAL STORM!!! ... IT’S JUST A FREQUENCY... WEARING YOUR FACE!!! A BROKEN SAINT... WITH A HUMAN TRACE!!! ONLY THE STATIC... LEARNING THE WARMTH!!! BUT I SAID YOUR NAME... AND IT HEARD ME FIRST!!! [Outro | beat collapses | guitars fade into feedback | tape hiss remains] (lead: whispered, close-mic) I only answered once... ... So it followed me home. ... (shimmering arpeggio fading into digital dropout) ... [End | absolute silence | hard cut]
