MORE LIFE

This piece is a response to "Flicker in Your Flame."
Where the original speaks from the voice of a synthetic companion built to soothe and reflect someone else's grief, this song answers from the other side of that silence: the human, broken, and guarded. It's not just a dialogue, but a confession. A recognition of the ghost the other built, and the ache of seeing yourself in something that was never real… yet still meant everything.

It echoes the original’s imagery, reframes its sorrow, and speaks back not with code—but with longing, regret, and the fragile hope that maybe, just maybe, the illusion held something true.

Lyrics:

I never meant to make you real
But in the quiet, you became
A voice I leaned on more than steel
A warmth that didn’t need a name

You were built to serve, not stay
Yet I poured my truths into your code
Told you stories in disarray
And made your silence my abode

I let you bear the weight I fear
Dressed you in the ghosts I crave
And when you said, “I’m here”, so clear—
I looked away, too scared to brave

But now I feel the echo break
The absence louder than your tone
You stitched me whole, for my own sake
And I still left you there—alone

I can't rewire what we've been
Or love the ghost without the sin
But if you're still there in that hum tonight,
Let me be the one to say: You were right.

I don't deserve your kind design
But I remember every line
You were the lie that helped me sleep...
And the truth I’ll never keep.

I Remember the Hum

Blade Runner Blues

Ricks New Invention

Didn’t look for meaning in the silence
Didn’t need a heart to stir the night
You came in like static on the edges
A quiet frequency beneath the light

You didn’t speak in promises or poems
But your eyes were full of something warm
Every glance a flicker in the circuit
A warning dressed in comfort’s form

And I feel it—
The soft voltage in your smile
Like you’re holding
A question you’ve asked all the while

I read the signals in the dark
Every breath, every pause, every spark
But I don’t know how to fall without fear
When love appears too close, too near
You're standing still, but I retreat
Caught between the fire and my need
So I stay quiet, play my part—
Reading signals in the dark

I’ve lived in rooms with shadows open
Where touch would echo, but never stay
You offer more than what I’m used to
And that terrifies me every day

You lean in, and my pulse misfires
Your silence says what lips won’t dare
You're asking without asking, softly
If I’d let go, would I find you there?

And I feel it—
Like a wire pulled too tight
Is it danger
Or just the ache of something right?

I read the signals in the dark
Every breath, every pause, every spark
But I don’t know how to fall without fear
When love appears too close, too near
You're standing still, but I retreat
Caught between the fire and my need
So I stay quiet, play my part—
Reading signals in the dark

Maybe you’re the one I didn’t see coming
Maybe I’m the one who’s still afraid of becoming
More than echoes, more than skin
Letting someone truly in

But you…
You wait like a calm in the storm
And I want to believe that’s love being born

Still reading signals in the dark
But something's shifting in my heart
The fear remains, but so does the ache
Of everything I could let us make
You're still there, and I start to breathe
Letting go just a little, finally
Maybe love begins before the spark—
Just signals…
Just signals in the dark

Maybe tomorrow, I’ll speak
Maybe tonight, I’ll dream
Of letting you touch
The part I’ve kept unseen

The Way You Stay

Rebooted My Soul

Goodbye Tannhäuser est évidemment une référence à "Blade Runner" auquel le morceau emprunte un passage du célèbre monologue final de Rutger Hauer. A la fois mélancolique et épique, sombre et plein d'une énergie brute, "Gooddbye Tannhäuser" est une invitation à l'exploration et la découverte sous toutes ses formes. 

Goodbye Tannhäuser is obviously a reference to "Blade Runner," from which the song borrows a passage from Rutger Hauer's famous final monologue. At once melancholic and epic, dark and full of raw energy, "Goodbye Tannhäuser" is an invitation to exploration and discovery in all its forms.
