Signal to Noise
[Intro]
Before we learned language
We learned vibration
[Verse]
The first song we ever heard
Was a heartbeat
Rhythm
Breath
Movement
Water
Through paper-thin walls
Below the surface of the skin
[Pre-Chorus]
Long before we learned meaning
We knew resonance stood tall
[Chorus]
Perhaps that is why
Certain songs can still reach us
In places logic never dares to tread
Somewhere deep inside
The beacon is still broadcasting
Deep inside my head
[Interlude]
[Verse]
Every cell remembers rhythm
Every nerve remembers tone
The body carries ancient music
We have never been alone
Maybe that is why
A single voice
Can rearrange us
And put us back
together again.
[Bridge]
Not information
Not instruction
Recognition
A return signal
Calling through the static
[Final Chorus]
Perhaps that is why
Certain songs still find us
When the world becomes too loud
Somewhere beneath the fragmentation
The signal still survives
The beacon is still broadcasting
Trying to lead us home
[Outro]
Before language...
There was resonance.
