[Silence]
[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Driving Bass, Organ Pads, Guitar Delay, Steady Drum Groove]
[Minimal Beat, Spoken Vocal]
The center…
Keeps shifting.
(Drifting)
What once seemed ordinary…
Feels unfamiliar.
(How about where you are?)
[Refrain]
In the middle
Isn’t normal
(Any more?)
…for sure…
Gone extreme
(Know what I mean?)
[Verse 1]
Yesterday’s unusual
Becomes today’s familiar call
Records fall without a sound
Soon another comes around
What once made the evening news
Now becomes expected views
[Pre-Chorus]
Moving lines
(Changing scale)
New extremes
(Leave a trail)
[Chorus]
Where’s the middle?
(Hard to say)
Keeps on moving
(Day by day)
Normal shifts
(Out of sight)
Slow enough
(To seem right)
[Refrain]
In the middle
Isn’t normal
(Any more?)
…for sure…
Gone extreme
(Know what I mean?)
[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Heavy Bass Groove, Organ Swells, Synth Textures, Driving Drums]
[Verse 2]
Floods arrive with greater force
Storms adjust another course
Piece by piece the baseline bends
Quietly the pattern trends
Not because the Earth stood still
But because it climbed the hill
[Bridge]
The middle moves
Without a sound
Until new limits
Can be found
One more year
(A little more)
Is the end clearer
(Than before)
[Breakdown]
[Minimal Beat, Deep Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
The danger…
Isn’t only…
The extremes.
It’s forgetting…
What the mean…
Means.
[Final Chorus]
In the middle
Isn’t normal
(Any more?)
…for sure…
Gone extreme
(Know what I mean?)
…for sure…
Gone extreme
(Know what I mean?)
In the middle…
(Or so it seems…)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Piano, Echo Guitar, Organ Fade]
Where’s the middle?
Still moving…
Still changing…
Out of sight.
(Out of the light)
