Lyset Mitt

(A single, clean electric guitar echoes with a delay effect. A cello and violin enter softly, creating a low, pulsing drone. The drums kick in with a steady, rhythmic thud—like a heartbeat.)

Noise on the radio, a frequency of gray,

I’ve been chasing shadows since the world was tucked away.

I woke up in a city that I didn't recognize,

Looking for a flicker of the ocean inside your eyes.

It’s a pull inside my chest, a thread under tension,

Dragging me across a third and fourth dimension.

(The violin starts a soaring, melodic climb)

I don’t need a map, I don’t need a name,

Every version of my heart is calling out the same.

The ink is old, the pages might be torn,

But I’ve known you since before the stars were born.

I’ll find you in the rush, I’ll find you in the still,

If the universe won’t bring you back, you know the wreckage will.

You’re the light that’s leaking through the cracks of every door,

I’ve loved you in a thousand lives, and I’ll love you through one more.

(Violin hook: A bright, hopeful melody that mimics the vocal line)

(Bass becomes more prominent and fuzzy; drums pick up the pace)

Maybe we were sailors, maybe we were ghosts,

Haunting different bodies on these unfamiliar coasts.

But the way you hold your coffee, or the way you start to smile,

It bridges every canyon, it erases every mile.

We’re a secret kept by gravity, a bond that cannot break,

The only thing that’s real in every dream from which I wake.

(The music strips back to just a distorted bass line and a frantic, staccato violin)

The dark is just a curtain.

The dark is just a lie.

(The full band explodes back in)

I’d walk through every fire!

Under every different sky!

You’re the anchor!

You’re the vision!

You’re the only right decision!

(The violin takes over the lead role, playing a soaring, alt-rock solo—less technical than metal, but deeply emotive with lots of slides and double-stops. It feels like a conversation between the bow and the strings.)

I’ll find you in the rush, I’ll find you in the still,

If the universe won’t bring you back, you know the wreckage will.

You’re the light that’s leaking through the cracks of every door,

I’ve loved you in a thousand lives, and I’ll love you through one more.

(The drums slow down to a simple, heavy beat. The violin plays a final, long, sustained note that hangs in the air.)

Find you in the next one...

Find you in the dark...

(Acoustic guitar strums a final, warm chord)

Look for the light.

Look for the spark.

(Fade to silence)
