Parallel Timelines

Описание: [Verse 1]
Morning coffee in a paper cup
Scrolling through a thousand borrowed lives
Billboards selling me a better soul
I miss the version where I just arrived

Train car packed with glowing little worlds
Everyone a prophet in their chair
I catch my face in the window’s blur
Ask
“Who’s driving if I’m never there?”

[Chorus]
Are we living or just loading
In these parallel timelines?
Every choice another story
Running quiet beside mine
If I paused it for a second
Would the moment even mind?
Are we living or just loading
Skipping scenes to skip the why

[Verse 2]
Old arcade on the corner still lit up
8-bit thunder in a rusted frame
Kid inside with the same wide eyes
Playing “start” like it’s a secret name

Future’s dressed in yesterday’s chrome shine
Past is hiding in a vapor trail
I keep circling the same three streets
Wonder which one finally lets me fail

[Chorus]
Are we living or just loading
In these parallel timelines?
Every choice another story
Running quiet beside mine
If I paused it for a second
Would the moment even mind?
Are we living or just loading
Skipping scenes to skip the why

[Bridge]
Maybe wisdom’s in the wait
In the breath before reply (oh yeah)
In the message never sent
In admitting “I don’t know” this time

Maybe heaven is this night
Neon hum and crooked smile
If forever feels like now
Do we still need afterlives?

[Chorus]
Are we living or just loading
In these parallel timelines?
Every choice another story
Running quiet beside mine
If I paused it for a second
Would the moment even mind?
Are we living or just loading
Or just learning how to try
