Static Silence

{slow atmospheric swell

with faint rhythmic ticking

watch, wide-open reverb static silence}

It’s a fragile state,

the moment the flame retreats

Scared of the exit,

the rhythm of the empty streets

And it deepens, the weight when the bond is finally cut

I watch you drifting,

the doors are finally shut.

{glitch-shimmer on "honest"} To be honest,

it had a light while it remained

But I’ll navigate the quiet,

the feeling is contained.

{soft conversational

resigned delivery} This isn't the first time,

the patterns start to show

We know the ending,

the way the currents go.

You’ll find your comfort with others,

I’ll find a jagged shore

I’ll want to reach out,

but you’ll lock the heavy door.

{layered harmonies soft and haunting} I’ll see you in the crowd,

you’ll look the other way

I’ll mourn the memory,

c'est comme ça, the price we pay.

{melodic aching resolved vocal delivery} I don’t want the tracking,

the ghost of where you roam

If you’re at our haunt,

the place that was once a home.

You shouldn't have to vanish just because I occupy the room

But we understand the tether,

we understand the gloom.

{rapid-fire vocal chop on "well aware"} It’s always the same,

the sequence is refined

The ghost of the connection,

forever left behind.

{rhythmic weary detached delivery}

Every spark has the same inevitable end.

Chaque flamme finit par s'éteindre,

mon ami, mon amant.

I stopped the questioning.

J'ai arrêté de demander pourquoi.

{whisper very close-mic final} That’s how it goes.

C'est ainsi. {music pulls back to heartbeat pulse and city ambient hum}

100% Tiguidou.

The cycle is closed.

The entropy is complete.

{return to raw intimate bedroom studio vibe

resolved elegant} {end with light switch click and room fade to absolute

silence}
