Lyrics

[Intro]
(clean guitar arpeggio, faint tape hiss)
This hollow room repeats a hiss
Coordinates on a dead display
The door slides shut without a hand
We were never meant to stay

[Verse]
(processed vocal, flat delivery)
Control board bleeds a steady tone
No signal from the outer line
The tape loop holds a memory
Of someone else’s time

Tracks go silent, line by line
A static flicker on the screen
The screen is gray, the air is thin
Waiting for a sign

[Chorus]
(layered vocal, slight distortion)
Hiss door, hiss door
Open to the empty air
Hiss door, hiss door
Coordinates to nowhere
The clean guitar begins to fray
As the hum eats through the day
We’re held inside the corrosion
We’ll never find the way

[Verse]
(lower register, slower cadence)
The logbook has a final entry
“System cold, no fault to fix”
The vents exhale a dry hum
The hiss door never clicks

Outpost sealed against the void
But the void is underneath
Every panel, every crack—the door
The hiss in every breath

[Bridge]
(minimal beat, electronic pulse)
Tape spool slows, the pitch descends
A single word that never ends
“Hold… hold… hold…”
The door is listening

(Fading guitar arpeggio, warping)
This is the station at the edge
We were the ones who crossed the ledge
The hiss door is the only edge
That keeps the quiet in

[Chorus]
(layered, more distorted, guitar corroding)
Hiss door, hiss door
Open to the empty air
Hiss door, hiss door
Coordinates to nowhere
The clean guitar is almost gone
The static claims the song
We’re held inside the corrosion
And the hiss door is the dawn

[Outro]
(processed vocal, tape slow-down)
(Hiss… hiss… hiss…)
All coordinates erased
Door never opened
(clean guitar returns as single fading note)
The hiss is the only answer
(Fade to silence)
