Verse 1)
Neon lights hum, cold in the room
A thousand colors, a heavy bloom
Beep at the counter, a blade in the dark
Perfume and plastic, a chemical spark
Chest getting heavy, ceiling feels low
Trapped in the aisle with nowhere to go
Holding my breath in a crowded space…
(Piano: Intimes, rollendes Arpeggio in C-Moll; Gesang: Nah, rau, gebrochen; Gitarre: Sanftes, rhythmisches Abdämpfen der Saiten für den Beat)
(Pre-Chorus)
I read your lips to catch what you say
A wave of static washes words away
Every signal on high, no switch on the wall
Drowning in noise, waiting to fall
(Piano: Bässe werden drängender, Staccato-Anschlag; Chor: Setzt tief und warm mit sanftem Oohing ein; Dynamik: Die Welle baut sich spürbar auf)
(Chorus)
Away. Out. To my Event Horizon!
Where the noise dies down
A world at the max in a quiet riot
Where the lost are found
Yeah, I see why I’m built this way
Still a lonely place where I have to stay
Away. Out. To my Event Horizon!
Where the noise dies down…
Just one step out of line.
(Piano: Volle, epische Akkorde; Chor: Exzellenter Ohrwurm-Mitmach-Chor, stützt voll auf "Away. Out." und "Horizon"; Gesang: Gürtellinie, kräftig, raue Emotion)
(Verse 2)
Seam on my shoulder, a slow-burning scar
Clattering glasses from a distant bar
I drink in your mood before you can speak
The texture, the taste, the static at peak
Building my island, brick by raw brick
Unorthodox shield, my own quiet trick
Stealing a moment, a midnight retreat
Stopping the currents inside of me…
(Piano: Geht zurück in ein treibendes, rhythmisches Pulse-Muster; Gesang: Groovig, direkt, fast flüsternd vor Intensität)
(Chorus)
Away. Out. To my Event Horizon!
Where the noise dies down
A world at the max in a quiet riot
Where the lost are found
Yeah, I see why I’m built this way
Still a lonely place where I have to stay
Away. Out. To my Event Horizon!
Where the noise dies down…
Just one step out of line.
(Piano: Maximale Energie, wirbelnde Arpeggios; Chor: Zweistimmiger Counter-Gesang hinter den Lead-Vocals; Rhythmus: Treibend und packend)
(Bridge)
Not broken, no, just bare
An open nerve in the midnight air
Relief to know who I am inside…
Where the water stays wide
Yeah, the water stays wide.
(Piano: Reduziert auf schwere, lang ausklingende Einzelakkorde; Chor: Dominiert hier mit gänsehaut-erzeugenden A-cappella-Harmonien; Stimmung: Höchste Intimität)
(Chorus - Big Climax)
Away. Out. To my Event Horizon!
Where the noise dies down
A world at the max in a quiet riot
Where the lost are found
Away. Out. To my Event Horizon!
Just one step out of line.
(Piano & Chor: Explodieren zusammen – der Chor singt die "Away. Out."-Hook auf maximaler Lautstärke; Gesang: Volle Hingegebenheit)
(Outro)
The register fades… One deep exhale.
Out.
To my Event Horizon.
Just the water.
Just silence.
(Piano: Hohe, verhallende Einzeltöne; Chor: Ein vergehendes Hauch-Muster auf "Silence"; Dynamik: Stirbt in absolute Schwerelosigkeit ab)
