WITHIN THE ALBUM

The traces keep speaking.

Phantom Signals takes place after an interrupted conversation. Phantom Vibrations, Emergency Contact, and Loading Screen trace a familiar wait: for a sign that might still arrive. In Lise Sterling’s fictional world, the silence of an interface is never quite empty.

Unsubscribe, In Reverse, and Archaeology of a Text Thread then turn the gaze towards what we keep, what we reread, and what we try to leave behind. Explore the album as an emotional archive, without mistaking this fiction for a real person’s lived experience.

Enter through Phantom Vibrations and let the sequence of twelve tracks guide the journey.

Original lyrics

Text supplied in the project files. The original language is preserved.

Three AM in Tokyo but my heart's still on Pacific time
Jet lag in my feelings, can't sync up these paradigms
Hotel room's a spaceship floating between who I was
And who I'm supposed to be when the morning sun comes up
Currency exchange for emotional baggage
But some things don't translate in any language
Lost in translation with myself tonight
Wrong time zone for this internal flight

Melatonin can't fix what's broken in my brain
International date line running through my veins
Crossing borders but I'm standing still
Time machine heart on a foreign hill

Sleepwalking through time zones
In a body that feels borrowed
Living yesterday's emotions
In tomorrow's sorrow
Clock says 6 AM but my soul says midnight
Sleepwalking through time zones
Nothing feels quite right
I'm a ghost in Greenwich Mean Time
Floating between yours and mine

Customs officer asks "purpose of visit?"
I wish I knew the answer to that question
Stamped passport but no destination
Just running from my own reflection
Departure lounge anxiety, boarding pass to nowhere
Turbulence in my chest, oxygen mask prayer
Captain says we'll land in twenty minutes
But I've been falling for what feels like hours infinite

Duty-free shopping for a sense of home
But some things can't be bought in any dome
Time difference in my DNA
Yesterday's love in tomorrow's gray

Sleepwalking through time zones
In a body that feels borrowed
Living yesterday's emotions
In tomorrow's sorrow
Clock says 6 AM but my soul says midnight
Sleepwalking through time zones
Nothing feels quite right
I'm a ghost in Greenwich Mean Time
Floating between yours and mine

Maybe I'm not lost, just existing
In multiple dimensions
Maybe time is just a concept
And I'm beyond comprehension
Living in all hours simultaneously
Past and future colliding
In this moment I'm everything
I've ever been and I'm hiding
From the girl who set her watch
To someone else's timeline

Now I'm learning how to be
On my own time, my own time
