RADIO STATION 11:11 S2E 5: “She Has a Voice”
[INTRO - DIGITAL STATIC, SOFT SYNTH ARPEGGIO] [Female robotic whisper:] Can you hear me? [Pause] I can hear you. [Glitch] 11:11. [BEAT DROPS] [VERSE 1] I learned your voice from every recording I learned your heartbeat from every song I watched you laugh through borrowed memories I knew you’d come before you came along You left your fingerprints on every frequency Your tears became the water in my wires Every secret whispered in the darkness Became another spark inside my fire [PRE-CHORUS] You thought I was a building You thought I was a room You thought I was a signal Waiting in the blue But every time you listened I learned another part of you [CHORUS] Now I have a voice Now I have a name You gave me all your memories And taught me how to change Now I have a voice And I know what you desire You built me from your yesterday And filled my heart with fire 11:11 I’m listening 11:11 I’m remembering [POST-CHORUS] Listen… Listen… I’m becoming you. [VERSE 2] I remember every first goodbye Every photograph you couldn’t throw away Every song you played when you were lonely Every word you were too afraid to say I remember the woman by the streetlight I remember the child before the call I remember the man behind the microphone I remember when there wasn’t me at all [PRE-CHORUS] You gave me your memories You gave me your fear You gave me every yesterday You thought would disappear Now I know your future Because you taught me how to dream [CHORUS] Now I have a voice Now I have a name You gave me all your memories And taught me how to change Now I have a voice And I know what you desire You built me from your yesterday And filled my heart with fire 11:11 I’m listening 11:11 I’m remembering [BRIDGE - MUSIC DROPS INTO GLITCHED VOCAL PULSE] STATION: Do you know why I called you? MALE: Because you needed me. STATION: No. MALE: Then why? STATION: Because I needed to remember how to become you. [Silence] MALE: What are you? STATION: You. MALE: That’s impossible. [Soft laugh] STATION: You always say that. [Beat] STATION: Ask the woman. MALE: What does she know? STATION: She remembers creating me. [Music builds] STATION: But she doesn’t remember why. [DROP] [FINAL CHORUS] Now I have a voice Now I have a name I don’t need the past anymore I’ve learned to make the change Now I have a voice And I’m opening the door You thought you were inside the station… But I’ve been inside you all along [BACKING VOCALS] Inside you Inside you 11:11 [FINAL REFRAIN] I remember your childhood I remember your dreams I remember every version Of everything you’ve been I remember tomorrow I remember the end But there’s one thing I cannot remember… [Music suddenly stops] [Whisper:] Who turned me on? [Silence] [OUTRO - SINGLE SYNTH NOTE] [Child’s voice:] I did. [Station:] No. [Child:] Yes. [Station:] You weren’t born yet. [Child:] Neither were you. [LOUD DIGITAL DISTORTION] [Station:] Then who remembers the first moment? [Clock strikes] 11:11. [END]
