The Hallway Light Switch - Estelle Rue (Official Audio)

a palm on cool plastic, halfway between the dark and the light ✨ Airy tropical-house with bright plucked synths, fine mallets and crisp finger-snaps at 118 bpm, for the hesitation between leaving and staying. Listen to the full catalog:    / @estelleruemusic   for the hand on the switch... you are standing in a dark hallway with your palm flat on the light switch and cannot decide. the plastic is cool under your hand and one small click would change everything. you feel the hesitation of wanting to leave and wanting to stay at the same time. two people hold their breath in a silent room and neither says the words. your winter jackets are still on the cold settee and nobody is reaching for the key. a millimeter separates the dark and the day, and you are standing right on it. this is for the ones who check the time, look across the floor and stay where they are. do you press the switch up to stay, or down to go? a cool rolling bass and soft finger-snaps keep the pulse steady while your hand does not move. press play when your hand is on the switch and the words will not come. for fans of chill melodic pop and airy tropical-house, this sits close by. shadows stretch across the silent town and the toggle has not moved. a cool, crystalline kind of tension, like a held breath that turns to frost. have you ever watched the last hesitation disappear and still said nothing? Lyrics My palm is resting on the plastic plate tonight We stand in silence right beneath the fading light Your shadow lingers by the heavy wooden frame Before you turn around and softly speak my name The plastic cool against the center of my hand We crossed the border of the silent room we planned A millimeter separates the dark and day We haven't found the words to give the ghosts away The little click is waiting just beneath my palm We hold our breath to keep the sudden panic calm We left our winter jackets on the cold settee And neither one of us is reaching for the key The hallway light switch holds the tension of us now We reached the edge and neither one remembers how A little frost-blue memory we’re freezing here We watched the final hesitation disappear Oh, touch the hallway light switch You check your watch and then you look across the floor My fingers tighten on the frame beside the door The toggle hasn't moved a millimeter down While shadows stretch across the empty silent town The little click is waiting just beneath my palm We hold our breath to keep the sudden panic calm We left our winter jackets on the cold settee And neither one of us is reaching for the key Nobody has to tidy up the quiet space We kept our distance in the narrow painted place The morning sun is cutting through the glass right down We didn't say a word inside this quiet town The hallway light switch holds the tension of us now We reached the edge and neither one remembers how A little frost-blue memory we’re freezing here We watched the final hesitation disappear Oh, touch the hallway light switch Just a little plastic plate left in the dark Underneath the star Estelle Rue is a virtual artist.
