[Arrangement: Acoustic guitar with a steady pulse, light electronic textures underneath. Thoughtful and slightly introspective. Call-and-response vocals throughout.]
[Intro]
A window glows
(In the dark)
A distant signal
(Leaves its mark)
Pictures moving
(Frame by frame)
Yet somehow everything
(Feels the same)
[Chorus]
Is there a screen
(In between)
You
(… and what you view?)
Is there a screen
(In between)
You
(… and what is true?)
[Verse 1]
Faces talking
(From afar)
Knowing where you are
(But not who you are)
[Refrain]
Through the screen
(Sense the scene)
Closer to the dream
(Then it may seem)
Through the screen
(See the light)
Trying to make sense
(Of day and night)
[Arrangement: Bass enters. Electronic textures become more noticeable.]
[Verse 2]
A thousand voices
(Call your name)
Yet silence somehow
(Remains the same)
[Chorus]
Is there a screen
(In between)
You
(… and what you view?)
Is there a screen
(In between)
You
(… and what breaks through?)
[Arrangement: Music softens briefly.]
[Bridge]
[Arrangement: Build. Harmonies expand. Drums become stronger.]
[Refrain]
Through the screen
(Sense the scene)
Closer to the dream
(Then it may seem)
Through the screen
(Find a way)
To connect the night
(With the day)
[Final Chorus]
Is there a screen
(In between)
You
(… and what you view?)
Is there a screen
(In between)
You
(… and what shines through?)
Is there a screen
(In between)
You
(… and the world anew?)
[Arrangement: Instruments gradually fall away, leaving acoustic guitar and a soft synth pad.]
[Outro]
The screen keeps out
(And lets in)
It’s about
(Just how thin)
And somewhere beyond
(The things we knew)
There’s no screen
(Between me and you)
