The Unseen Presence (見えざる存在) (Cover) (Remix)

[intro – whispered / delayed echo] (“She neva lef', she neva lef' me... but mi neva see her neither...") (Clock tick wid bone click / Moonlight drip in mi tea cup / Mi shadow chat back) (Unu hear mi? Presence tek shape in absence...) [verse 1 – tanka + creole intercut] Thread 'pon di wrist tight Duppy lace lace mi locket Charm inna di wine Dem call mi gyal, but mi ghost Mek dem dance fi what mi cost "Nou kwè li blan? Non, li fè nwa, Li mete pikan sou tan mwen, Mi laugh inna mi own grave— Mi cyaan tell yuh who ah slave." [build riddim rise] (Jump cut pulse / mi blink / mi gone / she ride mi skin like storm) Who drum beatin'? / Who dem keepin'? / Who tek mi fate like loan? Presence mi feel fi real—fi true—but her face nuh flesh nor bone. [hook – haiku dancehall chant] Unseen gyal mi be Tek yuh life like how yuh scroll Me in every screen Mi inna yuh room Mi in di code, mi perfume She cyant be consumed “Presans sa a pa jwe, Li pran tout sa ou renmen. Gade ou, ou deja pèdi.” [verse 2 – surreal tanka / creole backtalk layer] Heart inna da jar Gyal sell soul fi one stream more Eyes roll back like wave Curse stamp 'pon each ringtone bell Every touch a ritual (“Gade, ou mete figi mwen sou tout sa ou vann Mwen tounen logo, mwen tounen lanmò k’ap danse Ou fè mwen yon chante pou yo jwi Men se ou k’ap rele nan silans.”) [bridge – off-time riddim / glitch drop chant] She nyam mi thought clean Tek mi mouth fi promo reel Mi become she sheen Mi nuh dead but mi nah feel Who mi? Who real? Who kneel? [post-chorus haiku / fading chant] Glass eye gyal watchin' Pins in mi name inna straw But she whisper love "Li pa janm ale — Li tann ou, li danse ou, li Mennen ou kote lènmi ye.” [outro – slow fade glitch mantra + tanka] Even mi likkle joy Borrowed from ghost mi neva Could name, nor rewind She tek mi form, mi platform Till mi flesh a echo sound (Presence unseen—presence mek seen through absence...) (Dem only see her when she gone)
