đ”Static Current - Epitaph For Emilyđ”
[Verse 1] The room is moving fast, the sentences are flying, You threw a casual comment, it floated in the air, The first word is an anchor, the second is a chain, Iâm stuck on the beginning while you are at the end, The data hits the barrier, it stacks up at the gate, My processors are overheating, spinning in the grease.
[Verse 2] Your lips are moving quickly, the audio is clear, A jumbled mesh of phonics, a twisted telephone. I see the expectation written on your face, But I am still translating what you said a minute back. The lag is getting wider, the timeline isn't straight, Lost inside the labyrinthine alleys of my mind.
[Pre-Chorus] Say it again, let it sink through the oil, The sentences are twisting in a tight metallic coil. Give me a second, give me a phrase, Iâm running out of matches in this complicated maze.
[Chorus] Itâs a sensory avalanche, hitting the wall! The signals are crossing, I'm taking it all! The static current is pulling me down! A traffic jam of data in a neon-lit town! The world is a movie that's playing too fast, Iâm trapped in the present but stuck in the past! Turn down the feed! Clear out the screen! Thereâs too many messages in the machine! Iâm drowning in the lag, Iâm freezing on the spot, Losing the thread of the thing that I caught!
[Verse 3] A simple set of steps is a labyrinth to cross, "Pick up the keys, turn left at the light"â I have to take the pieces and align them in a row, While the world has moved along. The cognitive friction is a physical pain, A glitching simulator, a screen going grey.
[Verse 4] Donât hurry the delivery, donât crowd the empty space, The system overrides and I lose all my power. Iâm staring right through you, nodding along, Behind a white-noise barrier keeping me safe.
[Pre-Chorus] The buffer is full, the memory is blown, Left with a signal that is entirely unknown. Give me a second, let the dust settle down, Before the current rises up and causes me to drown.
[Chorus] Itâs a sensory avalanche, hitting the wall! The signals are crossing, I'm taking it all! The static current is pulling me down! A traffic jam of data in a neon-lit town! The world is a movie that's playing too fast, Iâm trapped in the present but stuck in the past! Turn down the feed! Clear out the screen! Thereâs too many messages in the machine! Iâm drowning in the lag, Iâm freezing on the spot, Losing the thread of the thing that I caught!
What did you mean? What did you say? Itâs all hitting at once! The channels are crossed! The world keeps throwing twenty variables more! Stop the tape! Rewind the sound! Aaaah! Just give me a second!
[Outro] Say it... again. Sink through... the oil. Tangled... coil. Lost in the maze. Three steps... back. Three steps... back. The signal... is dead.
