[Intro] [Piano and Cimbalom Arpeggio Together, Rubato] (1 bar) [Verse 1] [Deadpan, Almost Spoken] Day starts, I check my own dot first, make sure it's on Cameras off, I know, I don't see anyone After that I scroll the list and count the ones already on Just green dots tellin' me I'm not out here alone [Pre-Chorus] [Voice Starts to Lift Toward Singing] Everybody's grey until that pixel glows One flash of green is all the proof I know [Chorus 1] There's a green dot, right next to your name One tiny pixel, and that's my only claim Green for go, green for "still online" Only proof I got that you're still alive There's a green light at the end of my street It's the closest thing to nature that I meet [Verse 2] [Tighter, Faster Phrasing, Edge of Anxiety] Hundred faces in the call, each one in an empty room Teams says "focusing", "away" on Zoom I scroll again, still no signal found Just a grey little pixel, and the silence all around [Chorus 2] [Voice Cracks Open, Belts Into Ad-Libs] There's a green dot, right next to your name One tiny pixel, and that's my only claim Green for go, green for "still online" Are you still alive, or is the dot a lie [Ad-Lib] (Still alive...) There's a green light at the end of my street It's the closest thing to nature that I meet [Bridge] [Whispered, Almost No Voice] Sat on a bench, saw a sprout break through the stone Nobody watered it, but it grew on its own [Voice Rebuilds With the Music] Nobody needs a dot to prove that it's alive Funny how I'm the only one lookin' for a sign [Final Chorus] [Full, Grounded, No Longer Desperate] [Arpeggio Motif Now Played as Sustained Full Chords Instead of Arpeggiated Cmaj9-Am9-Dm7-G7sus4 Solid] There's a green dot, right next to your name (Still online) Doesn't mean you're near, but it eases the pain Green for go, green for "still online" Small as it is... I'm still alive [Delay Trail on "alive," Then Cuts Clean] [Outro] [Drums Drop Out Completely] [Spoken, Warm] Turns out I don't need the field, just a signal turnin' green. [Final Piano Chord] [End]
