Lyrics


[Intro]

I found a song on channel nine, A voice like smoke, a ghost like mine. It played at night, it hummed my name, The words were gone, the tune the same.

[Verse]

Each note fell slow, like falling glass, A love long dead, replayed to last. I turned the dial, the world went still, The static burned, but felt like will. I whispered back, the sound replied, My breath and hers became aligned. I sang to her — to me — to none, A loop that bled through wires undone.

[Chorus]

Dead channel love, I’m calling through, The signal hums the shape of you. A broken song that time forgot, But in the noise, you love me not. Dead channel love, replay again, A loop of loss without an end. If I’m the voice you used to know, Then sing me back before I go.

[Verse]

The tape distorts, her voice decays, Each word dissolves in silver haze. The lyrics change, the meaning shifts, Her love becomes the static’s gift. I can’t recall what line was mine, Our echoes blend and intertwine. She says, “I’m here, but out of time,” I say, “I’m hers, but never mine.”

[Bridge]

The channel fades, the lights all hum, The air tastes cold, my heart goes numb. If she was real, I’ll never know, But ghosts still learn to let love go.

[Chorus]

[vocals distant, low cello, reverb-heavy drums]

Dead channel love, I’m calling through, The signal hums the shape of you. A broken song that time forgot, But in the noise, you love me not. Dead channel love, replay again, A loop of loss without an end. If I’m the voice you used to know, Then sing me back before I go.
