Velvet Meridian

A hypnotic journey to the blurred threshold where identity dissolves into the cosmos and all distances collapse into one.

[Intro]

(Sitar drone, Mellotron flute, reversed guitar swell — no vocals)

[Verse 1]

Copper sky is bleeding at the edge of sleep Horizons fold like pages on the words I couldn't keep A hummingbird at altitude suspends the afternoon I feel the color of your voice dissolve into the moon

[Chorus]

Velvet Meridian — the line between the self and space Velvet Meridian — I lose my edges, lose my face Every sound becomes a doorway, every light a thread Velvet Meridian — a map of where the body ends

[Verse 2]

Amber glass and chandelier — the hallway shifts and breathes I'm made of borrowed starlight woven into winter leaves A river running upward with no memory of rain And the key that fits the infinite unlocks a stranger's name

[Chorus Reprise]

Velvet Meridian — the line between the self and space Velvet Meridian — I lose my edges, lose my face Every sound becomes a doorway, every light a thread Velvet Meridian — a map of where the body ends

[Bridge]

Below the ordinary — the underpinning hum A resonance that moves through stone Until all distance Becomes One

[Final Chorus]

Velvet Meridian — the line between the self and space Velvet Meridian — I lose my edges, lose my face Every sound becomes a doorway, every light a thread Velvet Meridian — a map of where the body ends (I'm home, I'm everywhere) (Dissolving into air)

[Outro]

(Mellotron drone, reversed guitar swells, sitar decay — fades to silence)
