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

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.

Out of Phase

Atlas I.
