Using the method indicated, an original drone sequence of around 20 minutes, created in Pure Data, was reduced to its current length, which also resulted in some abrupt changes to pitch or timbre, especially in the second half..
The track was created with VLC using random or untimed fast-forward intervals & recorded with Audacity +Soundflower.
An interesting exercise.

Here's a Breakdown of the lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Woke up with my boots still on from the night before
Half a bottle gone, half written song, guitar laying on the floor
Note on the stand said: "Thanks you were hot", (Co-writer left the note)
 The face in the mirror says I’m not (He doesn't like who he sees in the mirror)
I’m fightin’ with reality and the voice I forgot (Internal Struggle of how he thinks life should be and the reality of how he is being in the world)

[Chorus]
I’m in between my idea of what’s wrong and what’s right (He defines his everything by a standard of whats wrong and whats right)
I’m in between what I see and what's cast by the light (He sees shadows in everything in his life)
I’m trying to decide what it all means
Right at this moment — I’m in between

[Verse 2]
My Bible’s on the dash, but my hand’s on the wheel (referencing his struggle with addiction to alcohol)
Temptation’s callin’ louder than the prayers I feel
The angels whisper truth, but the whiskey talks mean
Guess I’m drivin’ through a ghost town of
might-have-been dreams

[Chorus]
I’m in between my idea of what’s wrong and what’s right
I’m in between what I see and what's cast by the light
I’m trying to decide what it all means
Right at this moment — I’m in between

[Bridge]
Babe, I know you're needing answers — wish that we could start again
And the wrong choice feels easy, 'cause you're still my closest friend (He already knows the answer, just doesn't want to face it)
I ain’t left yet, but I'm hurting — this truth can't be outrun
When I showed up, you were missing — when you came back, I was gone
[Final Chorus]
I’m in between my idea of what’s wrong and what’s right
I’m in between what I see and what's cast by the light
I’m trying to decide what it all means
Right at this moment — I’m in between

[Outtro]
I can't go forward
Can't go back to us it seems
Damned if I do or if I don't somewhere in between


I'm In Between
