Loop

(Verse 1)

Neon lights hum, sharp in the air

A thousand colors, an endless glare

Beep at the counter, a blade in my ear

A sudden wave of unyielding fear

Your lips are moving, but the sound cuts out

Drowned in a silent, deafening shout

The noise strikes like pain, a physical blow

A wall drops down, nowhere to go

(Piano: Intimes, rollendes Arpeggio in C-Moll; Gesang: Nah, rau, gebrochen; Gitarre: Sanftes, rhythmisches Abdämpfen der Saiten)

(Pre-Chorus)

I try to focus, try to stay clear

But the world vanishes, leaving just fear

Static in my head, a heavy red heat

My body shuts down in total defeat

(Piano: Bässe werden drängender, Staccato-Anschlag; Chor: Setzt tief und warm mit sanftem Oohing ein; Dynamik: Die Welle baut sich spürbar auf)

(Chorus)

Away. Out. To my Event Horizon!

Where the noise dies down

A world at the max in a quiet riot

Where the lost are found

Cotton in my head, my skin burning hot

Trapped in a fever I never sought

Away. Out. To my Event Horizon!

Where the noise dies down…

Just one step out of line.

(Piano: Volle, epische Akkorde; Chor: Exzellenter Ohrwurm-Mitmach-Chor; Gesang: Kräftig, raue Emotion)

(Verse 2)

Bag in my hand, I step through the door

Fever-chills creeping, cold on the floor

The flu in my bones, though I am not sick

Overwhelmed system, a cruel sensory trick

Can't form a word, can't listen, can't speak

Floating in cotton, heavy and weak

The world was too loud, too bright, too raw

My body enforcing an unwritten law

(Piano: Treibendes, rhythmisches Pulse-Muster; Gesang: Groovig, direkt, fast flüsternd vor Intensität)

(Chorus)

Away. Out. To my Event Horizon!

Where the noise dies down

A world at the max in a quiet riot

Where the lost are found

Cotton in my head, my skin burning hot

Trapped in a fever I never sought

Away. Out. To my Event Horizon!

Where the noise dies down…

Just one step out of line.

(Piano: Maximale Energie, wirbelnde Arpeggios; Chor: Zweistimmiger Counter-Gesang)

(Bridge)

Not broken, no, just overloaded inside

A burning pulse I can no longer hide

The price of a world that hits far too deep

Where silence is the only promise I keep

Yeah, the water stays wide…

(Piano: Reduziert auf schwere, lang ausklingende Einzelakkorde; Chor: A-cappella-Harmonien; Stimmung: Höchste Intimität)

(Chorus - Big Climax)

Away. Out. To my Event Horizon!

Where the noise dies down

A world at the max in a quiet riot

Where the lost are found

Away. Out. To my Event Horizon!

Just one step out of line.

(Piano & Chor: Explodieren zusammen; Gesang: Volle Hingegebenheit)

(Outro)

The fever cools down… One deep exhale.

Out.

Cotton fades out.

Just the water.

Just silence.

(Piano: Hohe, verhallende Einzeltöne; Chor: Vergehendes Hauch-Muster auf "Silence")
