[negative space between phrases]
[vocals forward]
[INTRO — sparse, atmospheric, just a pulse]
I woke up with a funny feeling Not dramatic. Not catastrophic. Just… off.
[VERSE 1 — gentle build, folk melody over slow electronic texture]
The edges of things had softened Time went somewhere strange Birds too loud, sound amplified My body far away
Is this a word, a diagnosis A spiritual event The intellect put on a costume Tried to take the stage again
Meanwhile I was biting my own teeth Bracing for the ground But even I had lost my edges Couldn't tell where I was found
[PRE-CHORUS — rising, tension building]
Everything, or nothing Or both at the same time Do my senses pull me under Or help me realign
[CHORUS / HOOK — drop hits here, layered beats, open and expansive]
I arrived at the station Recalibration The train came in so quietly No grand announcement, just the silence And I knew — I was here
Heart untethered Not fixed, not solved Just here
[VERSE 2 — intimate, almost spoken word over gentle pulse]
I waited, I don't know how long For perception to come home For something to resolve into a name For something I could hold
My need to understand rose up And I just — let it go Offered it to something larger Than the things I think I know
[PRE-CHORUS]
The intellect wants to diagnose it The nervous system wants to land The soul just quietly unfolds Like it always had a plan
[CHORUS — full drop, warm and euphoric]
I arrived at the station Recalibration The train came in so quietly No grand announcement, just the silence And I knew — I was here
Heart untethered Not fixed, not solved Just here
[BRIDGE — stripped back, almost a cappella, then slowly rebuilding]
Maybe this is not a crisis Maybe the system is updating Identity loosening Perception outrunning the narrating
What if expression isn't made What if it moves through you Nothing to force, nowhere to run Just sitting till the recalibration's through
[FINAL CHORUS — full, radiant, triumphant but gentle]
I arrived at the station Recalibration The train came in so quietly No grand announcement, just the silence And I knew — I was here
Heart untethered Not fixed, not solved Just here
[OUTRO — slow dissolve, just breath and tone]
When the birds sound like birds again When your body finds its edge You were never lost You were integrating
The station is not the end It's part of the design
I am here Waiting Heart untethered
And that is enough
