Exploding Head Syndrome (EHS) is a real but bizarre phenomenon—just as you're about to sleep or wake up, your brain fires neurons in a way that can create an explosive sound no one else hears, jolting you awake. With recent UFO sightings and increasing reports of strange dream-state encounters, more people than ever have experienced this. And with the world changing and stuff like "https://thetelepathytapes.com/" (great podcast!) coming out where harvard professors prove the existence of telepathy between non speakers (autism children) and their parents.

I had my own unsettling experience, which left a lasting impression—so I turned it into a song. Whether dream or reality, sharing it might help others find validation.

White noise on the radio

Frequencies between stations

Whispers from another plane

Slipping through when consciousness wanes

Slipping through when consciousness wanes

"Listen..."

Five AM in a state between worlds, caught in the liminal space

Unfamiliar architecture around me, in this strange displaced place

Thousand points of light ascending skyward, white and red dots in flight

Not fireworks, not planes, not satellites – something's not right

Two orbs hover outside my window, watching, calculating, waiting

With that off-center crimson glow, reality's slowly fading

The space between them starts to bend, physics breaking down

As a low frequency vibration makes its presence known around

The air grows thick, time slows down, something's standing by my bed

A distortion in the fabric, and then it gets inside my head

Then I feel it, right behind me

Turn to face what I can't see

Stick-like shadow by the bed

And through my mind, the message spread

Silent cry for "Help" tears through my mind

As reality and dreams intertwine

The darkness pulls me under, then—

BOOM!

My skull explodes from within

Like a supernova in my brain

The veil between worlds grows thin

In that space where nightmares reign

Vibrations running through my cranium, aftermath of the encounter

Currents flowing down my spine, left my perception altered

Drew the figure before sleep, tried to process what I'd seen

Inadvertently summoning it back into my dreams

Parasomnia or portal to another dimension?

Medical journals classify it, provide clinical definition

Exploding Head Syndrome they call it, but labels don't explain

Why these entities appear in this twilight domain

Not quite dreaming, not quite here, caught between frequencies

In that no man's land where they operate with disturbing ease

That telepathic call for help, was it warning or a trap?

A trick to open doorways that should never be unwrapped?

Then I feel it, rising tension

Awareness stretched to new dimension

The pressure builds inside my skull

As the frequency starts to pull

Silent cry for "Help" tears through my mind

As reality and dreams intertwine

The darkness pulls me under, then—

BOOM!

My skull explodes from within

Like a supernova in my brain

The veil between worlds grows thin

In that space where nightmares reign

Paranormal or syndrome? (syndrome...)

Astral planes or neurons misfiring? (misfiring...)

The mind plays tricks, or so they say (they say...)

But what if something found its way? (found its way...)

From somewhere else, through cracks in time (in time...)

Where different laws of physics climb (physics climb...)

That space between sleep and awake (awake...)

Where reality starts to break (to break...)

What if these experiences aren't just misfiring circuits?

What if our consciousness operates across surfaces?

What if these entities exist in parallel dimensions

And they're reaching out desperately seeking intervention?

Or what if they're psychic parasites feeding on fear?

Slipping through when our defenses momentarily clear

Either way, once you've seen behind the curtain, you know

There's more to existence than the material show
