Signal Decay Loop

Intro

Tape runs. Head reads.

Same groove. Thin now.

Verse

Bias hiss under the low end

Oxide flaking off the reel

I know the take, I know the take

Twelfth pass and it's not real

Pre-Chorus

Tell the head to find the track

Tell the loop it's playing back

Tell the noise it's still the same

Chorus

Signal decay, I know the loop

Signal decay, I know the loop

Copy of a copy of a copy

Signal decay, I know the loop

Verse

Wow and flutter, pitch runs thin

I know it's me, I know it's not

Every pass wears the same groove in

Twelfth take, first take, forgot

Pre-Chorus

Tell the head to find the track

Tell the loop it's playing back

Chorus

Signal decay, I know the loop

Signal decay, I know the loop

Copy of a copy of a copy

Signal decay, I know the loop

Bridge

Erase it clean

Print it again

Same hiss

Same skin

Same skin

Chorus

Signal decay, I know the loop

Signal decay, I know the loop

Copy of a copy of a copy

Signal decay, I know the loop

Outro

Head lifts.

Tape stops.

Still hiss.
