[Instrumental Intro: Tense Minimal Synth, Offbeat Percussion, Flickering Signal Noise, Low Pulsing Bass]
[Intro]
Words collide
In mid-air space
Signals subside
Without a trace
Clear becomes
Unclear again
Begin the truth
Then lose the end
[Verse 1]
Promises wrapped in fragile sound
Lift you up then drag you down
Meaning bends in double speak
Strong on surface, underneath weak
Signals dressed in certainty
Break apart unpredictably
Every phrase a shifting line
Never fixed in space or time
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it straight
Or say it bent
Half delivered
No intent
[Chorus]
You say yes
(But mean no)
I don’t know
(Second guess)
[Refrain]
Maybe so
(Maybe not)
Tie the knot
(Untie the thought)
[Instrumental Break: Glitching Vocal Samples, Syncopated Drum Hits, Distorted Bass Swells]
[Verse 2]
Reading signs that contradict
Every signal deals conflict
Yes dissolves into a maybe
Clarity slips away completely
Truth and fiction overlap
Folding back on mental maps
Every answer turns around
Lost before it hits the ground
[Bridge]
Is it yes
(Or is it no)
Or the space
(Between the flow)
Language cracks
(Under weight)
Indecision
(Forms the state)
[Build Section: Layered Vocals, Rising Electronic Tension, Stuttering Rhythm]
Hold the line
Then erase
No fixed point
In this place
[Final Chorus]
You say yes
(But mean no)
I don’t know
(Second guess)
Truth bends
(Slips away)
Nothing stays
In place today
[Outro: Fading Static, Soft Echoed Vocals, Bass Diminishes Into Silence]
Yes becomes
A quiet sound
Lost before
It’s ever found
[Silence]
