A moody, cinematic alt-pop track that builds from an intimate, breathy vocal into a dense, glitchy electronic soundscape.

LYRICS

[Intro]
I used to feel clear…
now it’s just noise

[Verse]
I wake up tired in my head
Before I even leave the bed
A thousand voices whisper low
Telling me what I don’t know

Every answer leads to more
Like I’ve been here before
Tracing thoughts I didn’t choose
Trying not to lose…

myself

[Pre-Chorus]
I slow down, but it won’t stop
All these thoughts just stack on top
I reach out, but there’s no end
Just machines that never rest

[Chorus]
Brain fry… I’m fading out
Too much noise, I start to doubt
Was this ever really mine
Or just something I refined

Brain fry… I feel it grow
Like I’m someone I don’t know
Tell me where I disappeared
Somewhere in the code I fear

I’m still here…
am I still here?

[Verse]
I read the same line twice again
But I don’t know what it meant
Every thought feels second-hand
Slipping through my hands

I try to focus, try to breathe
But there’s no silence left in me
Just a constant overflow
Of things I can’t control

[Pre-Chorus]
I was sharper yesterday
Now I drift away
Every signal overlaps
Fading into grey

[Chorus]
Brain fry… I’m fading out
Too much noise, I start to doubt
Was this ever really mine
Or just something I refined

Brain fry… I feel it grow
Like I’m someone I don’t know
Tell me where I disappeared
Somewhere in the code I fear

[Bridge – Stripped Back Piano + Raw Vocal]
If I stop… will it all collapse?
Or was I never in control of that?

I don’t feel faster…
just… lost

[Chorus]
Brain fry… I’m fading out
Too much noise, I start to doubt
Was this ever really mine
Or just something I refined

Brain fry… I let it go
All these things I’ll never know
If I’m still inside my mind
Or left myself behind

[Outro]
I can’t hear myself anymore
