Dear Acity citizens!
This work was inspired by the theory of duration by the French philosopher Henri Bergson.
Time is not a number divided like the hands of a clock, but an unbroken flow in which the past permeates the present and the present pushes forward into the future. I expressed this through the metaphor of an underwater melody, projected via the Muse located in an underwater base.
Duration is the uninterrupted progression that expands as the past encroaches upon and advances into the future.
This song is a record of the moment I discovered myself in the very heart of that progression.
What does your time look like?
Is it like the rigid, ticking marks of a clock hand?
Or is it a ceaselessly flowing, permeating wave?

00:13A Silent Metallic Room
00:17Beneath the Surface
00:25Navigating through cylinders and sensors
00:29I realize my motion cannot be defined by an equation
00:35The clock counts the marks
00:38But I no longer know where it starts or ends
00:44The machine tries to slice the present
00:48Into clean sterile cuts
00:54But where I've passed
00:57Only messy human traces remain
01:05Stop the counting, don't draw the lines
01:08The past is still alive
01:11Breathing inside me right now
01:15Close those analytical eyes
01:19And feel it with your body
01:22This pull, this flow, this breath
01:25It won't break
01:27I am flowing now
01:30Like a melody that never ends
01:33With just one drop seeping in
01:36I am no longer who I was
01:38Indivisible things fill the space inside me
01:41And the changes invisible to the machine's gauge
01:44Are what remold me
01:46I was frozen in the time I once trusted
01:48But now I'm awake again
02:00The needle of the pressure gauge
02:04Tries to divide me
02:09But where it cuts, the water heals
02:13And mends itself again
02:17And mends itself again
02:19The deeper I go
02:22The more the sounds blur and fade
02:30I lose my edges
02:33I lose my edges
02:34Only to become clearer than before
02:42Cold metal cannot block this surge
02:47I have already permeated this entire space
02:54Oh, I'm running these steps
02:57The ticking of the clock fades away
03:01The heartbeat is the only rhythm left
03:06I'm not sinking
03:07I'm dissolving
03:10My past self-flows here with me in the now
03:17Bound together in one unbroken stream
03:25I am flowing now
03:28Like a melody that never ends
03:30With just one drop seeping in
03:33I am no longer who I was
03:36Indivisible things fill the space inside me
03:38And the changes invisible to the machine's gauge
03:41Are what remold me
03:43I was frozen in the time I once trusted
03:46But now I'm awake again
03:47This flow will never break forever
03:55Ooh
03:58This flow will never break forever
04:09Ooh
04:16Ooh
04:17Ooh
04:18Ooh
04:19Ooh
04:21Ooh
04:29A silent metallic room beneath the surface
04:37The sound is gone, only I remain
04:44Still flowing
04:53The sound is gone, only I am
04:59Still flowing
04:59You
