[Intro] [Harp Arpeggios, Deep Analog Synth Drones, Reversed Whispers] [Male Vocal (Hushed, Hypnotic, Slight Delay)] Whispers in the dark (ooh) Shadows hum a tune (hmm) Soft hands of time… Slip right through— [Silence. Then, a haunting saxophone riff, reverbed and stretched, enters like a distant memory] [Background Vocals (Ghostly, Layered)] (Slip right through, slip right through, ooooh) [Verse 1] [Male Vocal (Slow, Smoky)] Low tide, deep night, Footsteps lost in neon light. Gold dust… in my veins, Heavy breath… speaks your name. [Background Vocals (Whispering, Panned)] (Your name, your name, your naaaame…) [Guitar Enters – Haunting Reverb-Laced Licks] [Pre-Chorus] [Male Vocal (Urgent, Rising Tension)] Don’t— (Don’t wake me up) No— (No sun, no clocks) Falling— (Deep, deep, deeper down) Drifting— (Weightless, lost, unbound) [The beat disappears for a second… then drops heavy, pulling him into the music] [Chorus] [Female Vocal (Soulful, Ethereal, Layered Harmonies)] When the echoes call my name— (Haaaah, ahhh, ohhh) Through the smoke, through the rain— (Drip… drip… drop) I dissolve into the sound— (Falling, falling, falling) Lost… but never found. [Background Vocals (Soft Echoes, Haunting Whispers)] (Never found, never found, never found) [Saxophone Solo – Dissonant, Crying, Melted Tape Effect] [Verse 2] [Male Vocal (Gritty, Hypnotic)] Blue lights… bend the sky, Fractured time… crystal eyes. Footsteps… in reverse, Calling me… through the dirt. [Background Vocals (Glitched, Pitched-Up)] (Calling me, calling me, calling me) [Contrabass Walks, Subtle Arp Harp Accents] [Pre-Chorus] [Male Vocal (Building, Breathy)] Don’t— (Don’t wake me up) No— (No sun, no clocks) Falling— (Deep, deep, deeper down) Drifting— (Weightless, lost, unbound) [The music stops. His heartbeat slows. Reality fades] [Chorus – Extended Version] [Female Vocal (Powerful, Soaring)] When the echoes call my name— Through the smoke, through the rain— (Drip… drip… drop) I dissolve into the sound— (Falling, falling, falling) Lost… but never found. (Never found, never found, never found) [Female Vocal (Powerful, Soaring)] When the echoes call my name— Through the smoke, through the rain— When the echoes fade away— I am nothing, I am clay— Through the rhythm, I remain— (Falling, falling, falling) Now… I am the sound. [Background Vocals (Fading, Distorted)] (I am the sound, the sound, the souuuuund) [Background Vocals (Fading, Distorted)] (I am the sound, the sound, the souuuuund)
