[INTRO - faint static, like a phone trying to connect]
hello?
…hello?
[signal drops. low bass hum enters]
[VERSE 1]
i keep talking into silence
like it’s going to answer back
press my voice against the static
but it never gives it that
there’s a number in my memory
that doesn’t ring anymore
still i dial it out of habit
like i’m hoping there’s a door
[PRE-CHORUS]
it used to feel like something
now it feels like air
like every word i send out
breaks before it gets there
[CHORUS – DROP]
it’s a dead signal
calling out your name
nothing on the other end
but i do it anyway
it’s a dead signal
running through my veins
every time i reach for you
it just fades away
[BASS: deep, hollow, almost “empty room” vibration]
[POST-CHORUS]
no reply
no reply
just noise
just noise
[VERSE 2]
i learned your silence differently
like it had a language too
every pause between the messages
started sounding like you
i swear i hear it clearer
when i’m half asleep at night
like my brain keeps reconstructing
something that isn’t right
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
it used to feel like meaning
now it feels like space
like everything i send you
never knew your face
[CHORUS 2 – BIGGER DROP]
it’s a dead signal
calling out your name
nothing on the other end
but i do it the same
it’s a dead signal
burning through my frame
like i’m chasing something
that forgot my name
[BRIDGE – stripped, glitchy]
signal lost
signal lost
i’m still here
you’re not
[soft bass pulse like a dying heartbeat]
[FINAL CHORUS]
it’s a dead signal
still i call again
like if i keep on breaking
it might reconnect
it’s a dead signal
and i understand
some things don’t come back
no matter how you land
[OUTRO]
hello?
…hello?
[cut to silence, then faint bass linger like something still transmitting underground]
