[Opening – Cable noise / chopped voice] chkk— tchkk— oop— rewind The groove… …has no beginning. It falls from above. It rises from below. It… breaks apart. [A – Shattered Fake-Chorus] And it spins— (—spins? —spins.) My neon-lit love trembles. Again. again. a—gain—gain. The rhythm bangs against the studio walls and refuses to die. [B – Ragged Rap / Syncopes] Have you ever— you know— that thing where you win but you feel— like you’re the one who lost? Blue notes twisting, a net thrown into a shapeshifting ocean, a fish turning into a sample, a sample turning into a memory, a memory turning into nothing. There’s always someone new… or just an echo coming back. [Transition – Glitching machine] Who loves you? Who lo— [C – Storm-Groove] You cracked my soul open, hung lightning across my shoulders. But I walked through it, stepped on the rain like a funky floor, dodged emotional off-side calls. Now I’m here. A little bent, but upright. [Deconstructed Chorus] And the rhythm… cut keeps on… delay like a heart that refuses endings. It hits— NOT STRAIGHT— but hard. Very. Hard. Again&Again&Again (unauthorized loop) [D – Reverse Funk / Spiral Words] Don’t stop for— for nobody— for yourself— for the shadow— for the noise— I keep my feet on the ground but the ground sinks. When I drop low, the music lifts me like a sax floating in purple liquid. Always something new, new glitch, new pixel of emotion. [Pre-pre-pre-Chorus] Everything changes. Then changes again. Then looks like it changes but doesn’t. Then yes. Then nothing. Then everything. I hated this melody. Now it lives in me. Now it eats me. [Bridge – Robotic vocals / progressive erasure] The rhythm keeps__ keeps__ eeps__ ps__ reconstructing… The rhythm continues... [Pont instrumental] ............................................. [Total Decomposition] Don’t— Don’t— Don’t— restore signal Don’t stop grooving. Even broken, the groove breathes. [Final – Ghost Chorus] And the rhythm keeps going even when you’re not listening. It dances behind you, in front of you, inside you. It never ends. You’re the one who stops.
