Theo Nightshade - Coded Memory Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Old tapes in dusty boxes call my name
Grandma's voice crackles through decades of pain
Kitchen sounds and melodies untamed
Digital ghosts dancing in binary rain

[Chorus]
Time slips through my fingers like grains of sand
Trying to hold on, but I don't understand
These memories fade like old photographs
While I chase echoes down forgotten paths

[Verse 2]
Her jazz records spin tales of yesterday
Stories lost in static, starting to decay
I sample pieces of her fading light
Processing fragments deep into the night
Damn these machines that promise to save
Everything we are from the grave

[Bridge]
In between the ones and zeros
Ancient wisdom slowly flows
Through circuits and through speakers
Her spirit finally shows

[Verse 3]
Every file I save feels like letting go
Each backup just another shadow's show
My horn cries out through waves of static snow
Searching for the truth I'll never know

[Chorus]
Time slips through my fingers like grains of sand
Trying to hold on, but I don't understand
These memories fade like old photographs
While I chase echoes down forgotten paths

[Outro]
In this digital shrine I built for you
Your voice still echoes, pure and true
But something's lost in translation
Between then and now
Between you and me
Between love and code
