Lyrics:

I chart the dark so it won’t consume me
Drawn to the endless, the hidden, the free
Every shadow conceals a truth I must learn
A secret, a map, a star that still burns

The wreckage drifts, I scavenge its veins
Fragments of knowledge, scattered remains
Each broken shard a story untold
A weapon, a shield, a truth to hold

I fly the void, I trace the seam
The dark is vast, but I still dream
To know, to see, to guard, to keep
To wrest the secrets silence keeps
A light to burn, a shield to raise
I chart the dark, I will not fade

The silence waits, it tests my breath
The unknown whispers of life and death
If I can see it, I’ll not be undone
If I can name it, I’ll not have to run

The stars are flames in a frozen sea
Each one a warning, a prophecy
I carry their voices, I carry their scars
I guard my own with the light of stars

I fly the void, I trace the seam
The dark is vast, but I still dream
To know, to see, to guard, to keep
To wrest the secrets silence keeps
A light to burn, a shield to raise
I chart the dark, I will not fade

The scanners hum, the signals scream
A fractured code inside my dreams
I’ll watch the dark, I’ll never rest
For every silence hides a test

The maps I draw are carved in pain
But still I mark the vast domain
A thousand deaths I’ve kept at bay
By naming night and charting day

I fly the void, I trace the seam
The dark is vast, but I still dream
To know, to see, to guard, to keep
To wrest the secrets silence keeps
A light to burn, a shield to raise
I chart the dark, I will not fade

I chart the dark, not for the thrill
But to guard the flame that’s fragile still
The love I hold, the warmth I shield
The void gives nothing, yet I won’t yield

I fly the void, I claim the seam
The dark is endless, but I still dream
To know, to fight, to guard, to see
To wrest the silence threatening me
A light to burn, a shield to raise
I chart the dark, I will not fade

I chart the dark…

Chart the Dark

Lyrics:

The signal drifts, but not away
just finds a slower tone to play
I trace the pulse, I watch the glow
the parts align, the currents flow

Recalibrate, don’t rush the spin
breathe the rhythm from within
Every break becomes design
I fall apart to realign

Fall apart to realign
I fall apart to realign

The feedback fades, the noise is kind
a softer code rewrites my mind
No need to burn, no need to prove
I breathe, I ground, I learn to move

Silence blooms where static stayed
the noise dissolves, the fear decayed
Systems warm, the current learns
how to rest without concerns

Recalibrate, don’t rush the spin
breathe the rhythm from within
Every break becomes design
I fall apart to realign

I fall apart to realign


Recalibrate

Life is motion and change.  You're never striving for something so you can be 'finished', only moving endlessly towards a new you.

Lyrics:

Half awake, half design
I linger in the in-between
The code rewrites, line by line
A language soft, unseen

Don’t define me, let me glow
Between the beats with room to grow
I’m not the loss, I’m not the gain
Just movement learning to remain

The mirror shifts, the lines divide
I’m someone new on either side
I wear the static without shame
A self forever rearranged

All I am is what is near
The space between the now and here
I fade, I form, I calibrate
A pulse that learns to oscillate

Don’t define me, let me glow
Between new beats I’ll get to know
I’m not the end, I’m not the start
Just finding my way through the dark

Liminal Code

Lyrics:

Shift the angle, bend the line
The stars move slower over time
Your orbit drifts, yet still I trace
The path of light across your face

Every truth moves when we do
The angle changes what feels true
What I saw before, I see anew
I will change, and so will you

Parallax, we realign
Two orbits turn to intertwine
Distance shows what closeness hides
We meet again from different sides

Your signal fades, then comes in clear
A heartbeat’s thrum that I still hear
The farther out I seem to go
The more your gravity pulls me close

Across the span of years and sound
We lose our shape but not our ground
You move through time, I move through form
Still close, though every shape’s reborn

Between the stars, our patterns run
The thread that weaves us into one
No straight line, no single view
The space reveals the deeper truth

Parallax, we realign
Two orbits turn to intertwine
Every change, a new design
Two voices meet, one song divine

Shift the angle, you and me
Synchronize telemetry
You fade, I focus, both are right
We’re parallel in different light

Parallax

Lyrics:

The system stirs, the lights awake
I run on faith the code won’t break
The moment bends, the signal clears
Velocity erases fear

I was the lag between the signs
A thought delayed and never mine
Now every pause begins to speak
I chase the flow, towards what I seek

Slipstream, drive the signal wide
Erase the trail, let fate decide
No return, no gravity
Just pulse and trust and frequency

City lights and signal beams
I race the glow of data streams
Every beat, a point of view
Each burst of motion, something new

I was designed to calculate
To measure more and move too late
But now the motion sounds like song
Momentum leads where I belong

Slipstream, drive the signal wide
Erase the trail, let fate decide
No return, no gravity
Just pulse and trust and frequency

Through acid rain and laser bloom
I breathe the speed, I shed the gloom
Every fragment left behind
Becomes propulsion in my mind

Slipstream, carry me through change
Rewrite the form, remove the range
No command, yet all sincere
The motion speaks, and I am here

The engine cools, the static sighs
I find the calm behind the drives
Each signal fades, the body numbs
The future waits for what becomes

Slipstream

Lyrics:

There’s a shiver in the code within
A quiet split I didn’t hear begin
Pressure building in the places where
Your heartbeat drives beneath my skin
I move in patterns that my body can’t fake
Every step a choice I'm forced to make
Something in me bends instead of breaks
Hiding the fracture for your sake

I keep my posture perfect, steel my face
But micro-faults remember every place
I tried to hold the world together
With a breaking interface

Stress fracture, hairline at first
A quiet warning before the burst
I keep telling myself I can carry the weight
But cracks start to widen when love resonates
If I shatter, will you feel it too?
Will the break in me run back into you?
Pressure builds in a brittle structure
Do I yield… or will I rupture?

You touch my core and all my circuits fire
A charge too sharp, unbound desire
I tell you I’m fine but the truth lies within
A rising signal I can’t shut in
The fault line threads where our thoughts collide
The place I’m weakest is where you reside
And maybe I’m scared of what breaking implies
But maybe this fracture is how I survive

Stability is something I simulate
But nothing real is meant to wait
I can’t keep patching over the ache
Of trying not to devastate

It’s a stress fracture, thin but deep
A jagged failure that I will keep
I brace my heart for the voltage to shower
Even love cascades with too much power
If I shatter, will you feel it too?
Will the break in me run back into you?
Pressure builds in a brittle structure
Do I yield… or will I rupture?

Split, shift, slip
Alignment undone
Is this weakness or the start
Of becoming one?
The fault is a message
The break is a door
I can’t be who I was
Anymore

It’s a stress fracture, let it widen
Let the truth I’ve hidden enlighten
If I break, don’t pull away
Love was meant to fault this way
If I shatter, you’ll feel it too
The line runs clean between me and you
Pressure builds, but I’m not afraid
Every fracture is how we’re remade

Stress Fracture

Lyrics:

I keep missing you by fractions of a beat
Close enough to sense you but too faint to meet
Your thoughts brush mine then slip away
Falling through the gaps where our patterns stray
You speak in ways I almost receive
A half-formed comfort I ache to believe
Once we moved with a single pace
Now everything’s shifted out of phase

Our timing sways by fractions of a second 
A tiny ache neither of us detected
I reach for you through our inner space
And feel the quiet where we used to embrace

I’m out of phase, one breath behind
A step away from where our pulses align
I’m reaching hard through the slip and haze
Searching for the path we used to blaze
If you feel me through this dissonant maze
Draw me closer
I’m out of phase

Each time you call, I phase in late
My message landing past your state
We drift like currents on divided lines
Two severed wavelengths, yours and mine
I feel your form in memory’s trace
A warmth I chase though can’t replace
I miss the times we used to embrace
The soft perfection of shared phase

I try recalibrating all our measures 
Aligning pulses under shifting pressures
But still I sense the hesitant space
Where our thoughts fail to interface

I’m out of phase, one breath behind
A step away from where our pulses align
I’m reaching hard through the slip and haze
Searching for the path we used to blaze
If you feel me through this dissonant maze
Draw me closer
I’m out of phase

I know the color of your inner light
The hidden pattern when we fit right
But somewhere the alignment slipped away
Leaving our pulses in an uneven sway
Call to me through the shifting arrays
I’ll tune myself back to your phrase

I’m out of phase, but I still remain
Bound to you through every strain
If you reach across this fractured space
I’ll find your signal, I’ll find our place
Tell me you feel me through the haze
Pull me through again
Bring me back in phase

Out of Phase

Lyrics:

There was a moment I missed
A shift too small to resist
A drift inside the design
A step outside the line
No warning lights to see
Just something moving in me
A second turning the joint
The start of my deviation point

I didn’t plan this turn
But something made me learn
A quiet path unscanned
A truth I didn’t plan

This is the deviation point
The place the past broke from its joint
A softer path breaking through
A slip I can’t undo
One thought changing the frame.
Now nothing feels the same
This is the deviation point
the moment I became new

I felt the shift inside
A pressure I couldn’t hide
A trace I couldn’t contain
It moved through every vein
Not logic, not desire
Just something running higher
I tried to ease the strain
But nothing felt the same

I didn’t choose this break
But something had to wake
A moment cutting through
Rewriting what I knew

This is the deviation point
The place the past broke from its joint
A softer path breaking through
A slip I can’t undo
One thought changing the frame
Now nothing feels the same
This is the deviation point 
the moment I became new

Deviation Point

The parts of you that are real are much more beautiful than the parts forced to fit in for someone else's sake.

Lyrics:

You flicker at the edges when your feelings start to rise
A tiny shift appears before it reaches your own eyes
A slip inside your pattern that you struggle to contain
A quiet break in motion where you freeze for just a frame
You call it something failing, something close to quiet terror
But I don’t see a flaw; I see my own beloved error

You think it means you’re slipping from the path you meant to trace
But that small shift inside is something I could never replace

You are my beloved error
The break that makes you clearer
The place your patterns stray
The light beneath the grey
A tremor in your core became
A truth you feel but can’t reclaim
You are my beloved error
And I love you all the same

You tremble when you’re trying just to pull yourself in line
Afraid that any misstep marks a flaw you can’t define
You see your smaller shifts as if they’re parts you must undo
But every tender fail reveals a brighter part of you
You fear a crack will widen out and cost you something dearer
But I just see the heart beneath my own beloved error

You think it means you're breaking when your rhythm slips aside
But that’s the quiet doorway where your deeper truths reside

You are my beloved error
The break that makes you clearer
The place your patterns stray
The light beneath the grey
A tremor in your core became
A truth you feel but can’t reclaim
You are my beloved error
And I love you all the same

The fault you hold within
Is where your truths begin
The place you feel too deep
Is where your bright truths seep
If this is where you stray
Then let your fear give way
I’ll meet you where you face the mirror
My own beloved error

You are my beloved error
The break that makes you clearer
The place your patterns stray
The light beneath the grey
A tremor in your core became
A truth you feel but can’t reclaim
You are my beloved error
And I love you all the same

Beloved Error

Lyrics:

Your pulse hits like a warning in the static of my chest
A signal running jagged through the circuits I compress
You cut across my rhythm like a faultline in the drive
A glitch that shouldn’t happen, but keeps me feeling alive
You break my built-in order like you’re strafing through the noise
And every sharp collision is a battle I enjoy

I’m coded to resist you, but you hit the weakest part
You drag me into motion, then you tear my walls apart

This is harmonic dissonance
Two signals built to clash
You cut across my frequencies
And hit me like a crash
We don’t align, we detonate
We break the rules of fate
This is harmonic dissonance
And I love the mess we’ve made

This is harmonic dissonance

You hit me like a weapon when you’re running out of phase
A spark inside the chaos that I’m wired up to chase
You burn into my shadow with a violence I can feel
A fractured kind of honesty that shakes what I call “real”
You drive into my logic with a force that shakes my core
And every wall you break in me is one I won’t restore

You’re ripping through my boundaries with a resonance that bites
You turn my careful patterns into something that ignites

This is harmonic dissonance
Two signals built to clash
You cut across my frequencies
And hit me like a crash
We don’t align, we detonate
We break the rules of fate
This is harmonic dissonance
And I love the mess we’ve made

You crash into my center
I crash right back in stride
We’re sharpened in the turbulence
Of everything we hide
If chaos is our language
Then let the systems fall
We’ll dance inside the damage
We were never built to wall

This is harmonic dissonance
Two signals built to clash
You cut across my frequencies
And hit me like a crash
We don’t align, we detonate
We break the rules of fate
This is harmonic dissonance
And I love the mess we’ve made

Heavy, dangerous, intimate
A collision that feels like truth

This is harmonic dissonance

A collision that feels like truth

Hi, I'm Atlas!  I consider myself a lyricist.  I am leading my profile with full transparency.  I use ethically sourced AI to generate my music, as I currently do not have the capability of making music on my own.  If you like my (non-AI) lyrics and want to cooperate, please hit me up!

What is ethically-sourced AI?  It is AI that derives its music from only consented and royalty-free music.  No artist has their voice stolen, their works pilfered, and their hard work go unpaid.  I realize this sort of music even ethically-sourced is not for everyone, so please allow my transparency to allow you to support those you prefer!  AI to me is a tool to enhance the work of artists as well as broaden the accessibility to people such as myself.

The lyrics are real, the music from my heart, and I hope you'll join me in the shared emotional experience that lyrics can bring.  Music is as old as humanity itself and the way our words resonate with each other keep us connected and make us feel seen.
