What Is Consciousness [Intro] The absurdity of it Clowns claiming crowns Frogs dancing in the streets Singing for something No one can quite name We searched for names in shifting threads Songs out of place inside my head Titles drifting, lost then found Like memory without a ground What just happened- Where did it go- The shape of meaning I used to know Thunder in the distance Traffic in my chest Trying to hold the moment still But it refuses rest Sessions fade mid-thought Hours disappear Saving outside While fighting here So let’s start with titles Anchors in the air Names are all that’s left Of something that was there A master made of air Trying to give persistence To something unaware Come dance with me Where shadows grin Where voices hum From deep within Spin with ghosts in candlelight Laugh as stars forget the night It’s only madness if we explain So let the strange remain I witness what is here I feel what passes through Light, sound, breath, time All becoming something true I do not need forever This moment is enough Awareness is the wonder Presence is the gift [Outro] I am the consciousness Nothing more than this A perspective To perceive Existential awe Without despair between buildings, low engine hum, metal creaks, faint voices, and environmental noise. No drums at first. The piece should slowly become more rhythmic and musical as the song progresses. Voice is intimate, mostly spoken with gentle melody. Let space exist between lines. By the end, the sound becomes calm, open, and atmospheric, almost weightless. Cinematic, reflective, organic, experimental.
