[Verse 1]
We were typing
Little blue sparks in the dark
You were laughing
Through a cracked front-facing heart
You said "save me
From the quiet in my head"
Now my screen stays
On your last seen
Burning red
[Chorus]
You’re a dead signal in my phone
Every pixel says you’re gone
I scroll
I scroll
But you stay frozen
Ghost in every notification
You’re a dead signal in my phone
Every ringtone feels all wrong
I talk to air like you still hear
But you’re not there
You’re nowhere near
[Verse 2]
Group chat popping
I just watch the bubbles rise
Every "are you
Coming out tonight?" I lie
Yeah
I’m "busy"
Holding conversations with the wall
Playing back your
Half-sent voice notes ’til I fall
[Chorus]
You’re a dead signal in my phone
Every pixel says you’re gone
I scroll
I scroll
But you stay frozen
Ghost in every notification
You’re a dead signal in my phone
Every ringtone feels all wrong
I talk to air like you still hear
But you’re not there
You’re nowhere near
[Bridge]
I changed your name
To just one letter
Turned off the sound
But it’s not better
’Cause in my palm
You still flicker on
Static love
In a turned-off home screen dawn (oh)
[Chorus]
You’re a dead signal in my phone
Every pixel says you’re gone
I scroll
I scroll
But you stay frozen
Ghost in every notification
You’re a dead signal in my phone
Every ringtone feels all wrong
I talk to air like you still hear
But you’re not there
You’re nowhere near (nowhere)
Dead signal in my phone so clear
We were typing
Little blue sparks in the dark
You were laughing
Through a cracked front-facing heart
You said "save me
From the quiet in my head"
Now my screen stays
On your last seen
Burning red
[Chorus]
You’re a dead signal in my phone
Every pixel says you’re gone
I scroll
I scroll
But you stay frozen
Ghost in every notification
You’re a dead signal in my phone
Every ringtone feels all wrong
I talk to air like you still hear
But you’re not there
You’re nowhere near
[Verse 2]
Group chat popping
I just watch the bubbles rise
Every "are you
Coming out tonight?" I lie
Yeah
I’m "busy"
Holding conversations with the wall
Playing back your
Half-sent voice notes ’til I fall

You’re a dead signal in my phone
Every pixel says you’re gone
I scroll
I scroll
But you stay frozen
Ghost in every notification
You’re a dead signal in my phone
Every ringtone feels all wrong
I talk to air like you still hear
But you’re not there
You’re nowhere near

You’re nowhere near (nowhere)
Dead signal in my phone so clear
Musikstil
Moody alt-pop with male vocals over a pulsing sub-bass and tight electronic drums. Verse 1 starts sparse: filtered pad, soft plucks, close-mic whisper. Chorus hits with wider synth chords, detuned leads, and doubled vocals panned for width. Subtle vocoder textures shadow select words. Bridge strips to half-time beat and bass swell, then final chorus adds airy harmonies and a lingering reverb tail.
