Shiver Lyrics

bb… memory fades

You are sitting in a chat room. eyes unblinking, you watch the dot dot dot. dot dot. dot stops. you hang. for a moment.

Why does it feel flatter now?

Things reveal themselves too quickly, bundles of snacky content, wikied, mapped out as it appears: "Join us in virtual offices. Enjoy our interactive branded experiences." Ringfenced, dotted with tracers, these are not spaces of play.

In motion - poor sound, lonely voice no space. it fizzes with bit-burn

E-motion - the sound now screaming sore, flaking like dried petals with the speed of it

I want into the screen, to hustle past avatars, clip through environment, bristle with unexplored, dance between dimensions.

It's a chat box now. flat and pure. No space, just lines tearing.

The last thing he said to me. a friend of a friend. that friend who was herself a friend of a friend.

You sit just outside yourself, your name tangled in it.

Bursting with engagement, content slews from you.
