Flicker
simple kick drum, hypnotic harmonies, woozy, warm percussion hand driven, small delicate fills

Lyrics
Intro
soft tape hiss, distant piano harmonics, low synth swell
Mmm
Mmm
Verse 1
solo female vocals, breathy delivery, hall reverb
There it goes
And there it went
Beyond what I can see
Oh, I don’t know
When it will be
Back again
A flicker through
The window glass
A shadow in the trees
Something warm
I couldn’t keep
Still touching me
Pre-Chorus
layered vocal doubles, soft pulsing kick enters
I tried to hold it still
Like water in my hands
But every living thing
Moves beyond command
Chorus
full drums enter softly, wide synth bloom, emotional lift
So let it roll away
Let it drift downstream
Some things only shine
When they leave the scene
And if it comes again
I won’t ask it to stay
Love is not a cage
Love is just a wave
Verse 2
drums thin out, bass carries movement, intimate vocal close-up
I remember light
Across your face
Turning gold to blue
Even now
The evening stays
Long after you
The room still hums
The air still bends
Around what used to be
Funny how
A thing can end
And never leave
Pre-Chorus
higher harmony layer introduced, subtle glitch percussion
I hear it in the dark
Between the passing cars
Nothing ever disappears
It only changes form
Chorus
larger stereo spread, brighter synths, swelling harmonies
So let it roll away
Let it drift downstream
Some things only shine
When they leave the scene
And if it comes again
I won’t ask it to stay
Love is not a cage
Love is just a wave
Bridge
half-time drums, ambient wash, fragmented vocal stacks
There it goes
There it went
Out beyond my reach
Still it moves
Inside of me
Soft as memory
Maybe nothing’s lost
Maybe nothing leaves
Maybe every moment
Lives somewhere unseen
Final Chorus
full emotional climax, stacked harmonies, wider drums
So let it roll away
Like smoke into the sky
What was real enough
Never really dies
And if I see you there
Some distant later day
I will smile and let
The moment change shape
Outro
instruments dissolve one by one, vocal nearly whispered
There it goes
And there it went
Beyond what I can see
Oh, I don’t know
When it will be
Back again
