(Intro - A dust-cackling vinyl loop starts with a slow, heavy bass drum and a resonant sub-bass drop. An electric rhodes piano plays a dreamy, melancholic chord progression) "Yeah... Cognitive cloud... Clearing out the noise in the attic... Waiting on the smoke signal..." [Verse 1 - Laid-back, slightly sleepy and cool rap-talk style over a heavy reggae skank] My head feels crowded like a Monday morning train Overthinking thoughts that are driving me insane Looping every mistake that I made five years ago Mental traffic jam moving way too slow So I rolled a little remedy and set the spark free Watching how the heavy fog clears from a tree The noise starts fading to a distant little hum As the rhythm takes over and the answers start to come [Chorus - Floating, spacious chorus with rich dub reverb and layered vocal harmonies] High above the cognitive cloud we fly Watching all the endless thoughts drifting by No more overthinking, no more mental strain Just a cool green breeze washing through the brain Yeah, clear out the sky... Let the heavy cloud roll on by... [Verse 2 - Smooth, rhythmic delivery with deep dub delay on rimshots and rhodes chords] Cognitive distortion trying to color what is real Telling me how I’m supposed to think and feel But the smoke acts like an eraser on the board Striking a brand new harmony and chord No catastrophizing, no anxiety to feed Just the simple medicine that the spirit really needs You take a quiet breath and you observe from afar Remembering who you really are [Rhodes Piano & Dub Solo - A spacey, jazzy electric piano solo with swirling tape-delay and deep sub-bass sweeps, backed by a tight lo-fi hip-hop reggae beat] [Bridge - Music strips back to a rhythmic bassline, a quiet skank guitar, and distant sirens] Quiet the chatter... Nothing else matters... Let the fog rise away... Finding peace in today... (Sound of a deep, relaxing exhale) [Chorus - Full band brings back the melancholic, catchy groove with rich vocal layers] High above the cognitive cloud we fly Watching all the endless thoughts drifting by No more overthinking, no more mental strain Just a cool green breeze washing through the brain Yeah, clear out the sky... Let the heavy cloud roll on by... [Outro - Slow dub fade out with echoing rhodes notes, warm sub-bass, and soft vinyl crackle] Clear blue sky... Quiet mind... One love... (Fade to silence)
