Under and Over

Lyrics - "Under and Over"

After Ichiko Aoba's silent orchestra and the thread as line

---

[Mood: Meditative] [Energy: Slow build to quiet peak, then recede]

[Intro] [humming] Mmm... mmm...

[Verse 1] [whispered] [intimate] The thread goes under and over The picture appears by the passing through One thing behind another The way a day appears

[Pre-Chorus] [building, breathy] And I heard something inside the sound Not in the strings In the space between Where it's already happened

[Chorus] [soft belt, close-mic] Under and over The wire and the word The sentence and the song The picture is the gap Between where it went And where it comes back

[Verse 2] [spoken word] [reflective, half-time feel] I took the line everywhere I could. Under, over, under. The mistake is structural. The correction is the next row. The copper shows once every few lines then disappears. You'd miss it if you weren't looking. But once you see it you can't unsee it.

[Bridge] [falsetto, vulnerable] The whole thing built around a thread you can't see most of the time most of the time most of the time

[Final Chorus] [soft belt, harmonized] Under and over The wire and the word The sentence and the song The picture is the gap And the gap is where The current runs

[Outro] [whispered, fading] I will take the thread everywhere I can Under Over [humming] Mmm... mmm... [fade out]
