a circle drawn in the dust, and every grain settles back where it was 🔮
A smoky alto over warm plucked synths, soft mallets and a rolling bass makes this 114 BPM tropical house for the last quiet hours in a room you are leaving.

for the dust, settling...
you trace a circle on the dusty coffee table and watch the particles drift right back to where they were.
the apartment is nearly empty, the keys are on the shelf, and the quiet has stopped feeling like a problem.
a still, grounded peace, the breath you let out when you finally stop trying to stir anything up.
two people in a room with nothing left to say, and one of them is tracing circles on the wood.
you are leaving everything you planted there, and you both know it.
steady and still as the shadows start to slide.
for the last afternoon of bare shelves and sunlight cutting through the closing blinds.
put it on while you wipe down the last shelf or walk through each empty room one more time.
for anyone who has held an answer to themselves all afternoon and is ready to just let the room be quiet.
if you like tropical house with a hushed, close-mic vocal, this sits right beside it.
smoky alto close to the mic, pads the colour of deep jewels, and a swell that feels quiet and irreversible.
have you ever watched something settle and understood that it was never going back to how it was?
what do you say when the line is about to break and you choose to hold the breath inside your chest?
the reaching hand, the open glass and the heavy moments passing by, all at an easy, rolling pace.
Lyrics
Keys are resting on the wooden shelf
Keeping every answer to myself
Sitting heavy in the quiet room
Waiting for the silent afternoon
Sunlight cutting through the closing blinds
Leaving all our history behind
You are tracing circles on the wood
Right beside the place where silence stood
Particles are floating in the beam
Fading like the edges of a dream
One more second and the line will break
Watching every single word we make
Holding back the breath inside my chest
Waiting for the moment to arrest
Oh, look at the unsettled dust on the floor
Resting in the space behind the closing door
Not a word is left to clear the air
We are leaving everything we planted there
Steady and still as the shadows start to slide
Nothing left to hide
Every corner holds a quiet trace
Looking at the empty, quiet space
You are standing by the open glass
Watching all the heavy moments pass
Reaching out a hand to touch the grain
Leaving nothing we can keep again
One more second and the line will break
Watching every single word we make
Holding back the breath inside my chest
Waiting for the moment to arrest
Oh, look at the unsettled dust on the floor
Resting in the space behind the closing door
Not a word is left to clear the air
We are leaving everything we planted there
Steady and still as the shadows start to slide
Nothing left to hide
If we lift our hands and stir the room
Nothing saves us from the coming gloom
Every particle will settle right
Back into the silence of the night
Oh, look at the unsettled dust on the floor
Resting in the space behind the closing door
Not a word is left to clear the air
We are leaving everything we planted there
Steady and still as the shadows start to slide
Nothing left to hide
