(Intro – spoken / filtered vocal)

Memory ain’t gone…

you just changed the key.

Same song, different chemistry.

(Verse 1)

I learned it in a lightning state, caffeine in my veins,

Neurons firing constellations, dancing in my brain.

Synaptic sparks, electric marks, encoding in the night,

But morning comes decaffeinated — now the map don’t look right.

Hippocampus humming like a radio untuned,

Information floating but the signal’s slightly skewed.

State becomes the context, chemistry the door,

Same mind, different weather — can’t remember what for.

Internal landscapes shifting every time we feel,

Biology writes memories in emotional seal.

You think it disappeared, but it’s hiding in the frame,

Waiting for the rhythm that remembers its own name.

(Pre-Chorus)

Change the state, lose the thread,

Thoughts go wandering in your head,

Nothing lost, just misaligned —

Wrong frequency, same mind.

(Chorus)

Same state, same gate, memories awake,

Different tide, different ride, watch the signal break.

Psyche in a spiral, chemistry the key,

What you learned in one world comes back when you’re that “me.”

Same state, same flame, neurons rearrange,

Truth don’t vanish — it just hides in change.

Wild mind drifting through identity,

Memory’s a mirror of biology.

(Verse 2)

Alcohol whispers slow, bends the recall flow,

Free recall fading where the cues don’t go.

Recognition stays but the story falls apart,

Like a dream you almost remember in the dark.

NMDA gates opening, closing in time,

Pharmacology writing temporary rhyme.

Ketamine skies, morphine haze, altered neural view,

State becomes the language that the memory knew.

You say “I lost it,” science says “not quite,”

The trace still lives but it’s buried out of sight.

Give the brain a symbol, a sound, a clue,

And suddenly the past comes walking back to you.

(Pre-Chorus)

Internal storms, external signs,

Cues redraw forgotten lines,

Nothing gone, just hard to see —

Different state, different key.

(Chorus)

Same state, same gate, memories awake,

Different tide, different ride, watch the signal break.

Psyche in a spiral, chemistry the key,

What you learned in one world comes back when you’re that “me.”

Same state, same flame, neurons rearrange,

Truth don’t vanish — it just hides in change.

Wild mind drifting through identity,

Memory’s a mirror of biology.

(Bridge – psychedelic breakdown)

Encoding… storage… retrieval delay,

Mind like a maze where the chemicals play.

You’re not forgetting — you’re shifting the scene,

Different observer in the same machine.

Cue the sound, cue the light, cue the feeling again,

And the lost thought blooms from the back of your brain.

(Final Chorus – bigger, layered vocals)

Same state, same gate, memories awake,

Different tide, different ride, watch the signal break.

We are the context we carry inside,

Every version of us learning how to collide.

Same state, same flame, nothing ever dies,

Just waiting for the moment when the pattern aligns.

Wild mind moving through identity,

Memory’s a mirror of biology.
