Fading Immersion

Mmm… stay…

Don’t fade yet… just stay…

Stahn-dwah… stahn-dwah…

Streetlights are blurring now, rain on glass so thin

Your silhouette is half-drawn, like a breath I can’t keep in

The bass is still pulsing, but the kick feels far away

We’re dancing on the edge of what we didn’t get to say

The pads are losing altitude, the synths are growing cold

But your hand is still in mine — or is that just the ghost of hold?

Hold me close, before the groove dissolves us

Immerse me slow — one last hypnotic chorus

Ngee-ya-koo-tahn-dah… before it gets too thin

Stahn-dwah sah-mee… pretend we can begin

Hold me… hold me… (whispered, breaking)

Stay with me… stay with me… just a little more

Hold me… hold me…

The sax is almost silent — just a reed and fading air

Your eyes still try to promise, but I feel you leaving there

No grudges, just a quiet ache where the beat used to be

Two hearts still in rhythm, but not the same key

(breathy, fragile)

Don’t go yet…

Mmm… stahn-dwah…

Ngee-ya-koo-tahn-dah…

(leave space for soft, lonely sax + decaying bass)

I neeeeed you heeeere… not just your afterglowww

My vulnerable heaaart… is learning to let gooo

Ngee-ya-koo-tahn-dah… even if you’re almost gone

In your fading arms I’ll stay — until the night moves onnn

Hold me close (don’t loosen yet), the groove is barely round us

Immerse me slow (before it ends), this last hypnotic sound, love

Ngee-ya-koo-tahn-dah… (say it back to me) forever deep?

Stahn-dwah sah-mee… if this is really goodbye, let me sleep

Hold me… hold me… (louder, desperate for one second)

Stay with me… stay with me… (then soft again)

Hold me… hold me…

Hold me close… almost gone…

Ngee-ya-koo-tahn-dah… stahn-dwah sah-mee…

We almost flowed… we almost flowed…
