Lyrics

A distant sound starts to bleed through the silence — Hooverphonic – Mad About You —
not arriving like a song, but like a memory pretending it was always part of the room.
And everything else slows down,
as if reality hesitates for a second
before deciding whether it should keep existing in this form.
⸻
[Verse 1]
The room becomes softer at the edges.
Not empty, recalibrated.
Like space itself has decided to lower its volume
so something else can be heard underneath it.
Everything else loses its permission to exist.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Silence here isn’t absence. It’s structure.
Carefully assembled. Almost intelligent.
As if the space itself is paying attention
to what it cannot say out loud.
⸻
[Chorus]
I inhale you like something my mind recognizes
before it’s allowed to understand it.
Like a memory that bypassed experience
and went straight into instinct.
And every time you move closer,
it doesn’t feel like distance is shrinking
it feels like distance is being rewritten.
Subtly. Irreversibly.
As if separation was never fixed, only suggested.
⸻
[Verse 2]
We don’t speak, because language feels too linear
for something that moves in circles beneath it.
There are things that collapse
the moment they are translated.
Your presence doesn’t enter the room.
It reorganizes it.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Time stops behaving like a sequence
and starts behaving like a field we are standing inside.
Everything I thought was stable begins to lose its outline:
names, logic, consequences,
all of it softens at the edges
like it was never meant to hold its shape forever.
⸻
[Bridge I]
There is a strange precision in the way we hesitate.
As if even touch understands it must arrive correctly,
not quickly.
Not before meaning is ready to carry it.
⸻
[Build]
We are not moving toward each other.
We are being calibrated toward the same point.
And when our eyes meet, it isn’t recognition —
it’s confirmation.
Like something in the system quietly checks itself
and decides nothing needs to be corrected.
⸻
[Chorus 2]
Everything unnecessary falls away without noise.
Not destruction , simplification.
The illusion of separation dissolves
without asking permission.
⸻
[Final Build]
What remains is not a moment,
but a condition that only exists
when nothing inside it is pretending to be separate anymore.
⸻
[Outro]
And in that quiet precision,
there is no “you” approaching “me.”
Only the strange clarity
that the distance was never truly real
in the first place.
