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.

GPS keeps recalculating
To a destination I don't recognize
My hands are on the wheel but I'm not driving
Someone else is choosing where I go tonight
Radio static plays our favorite song
But I can't remember why it made us cry
Dashboard compass spinning like my thoughts
While I'm living someone else's life

Cruise control engaged but I'm not moving
Lane departure warnings in my chest
Following directions to nowhere
This isn't where I thought I'd find my rest

Autopilot heart driving through someone else's dreams
Taking exits I never chose
Following headlights and broken seams
To places that nobody knows
I'm a passenger in my own skin
Watching scenery I've never seen
Autopilot heart driving through someone else's dreams
And I don't know where I've been

Rearview mirror shows a stranger's face
Wearing my expressions like a costume
Speed limit signs in languages I don't speak
But somehow I know where they lead to
Fuel gauge reads empty but I keep going
On fumes of someone else's ambition
Traffic lights change from green to red to green
But I've lost my sense of recognition

Hazard lights are blinking SOS
But no one's coming to rescue me
I'm drifting in someone else's lane
Following signs I cannot read

Autopilot heart driving through someone else's dreams
Taking exits I never chose
Following headlights and broken seams
To places that nobody knows
I'm a passenger in my own skin
Watching scenery I've never seen
Autopilot heart driving through someone else's dreams
And I don't know where I've been

Pull over, pull over
Let me drive myself
I want to choose the music
I want to be myself
Manual transmission
For this automatic heart
I need to feel the clutch
Before I fall apart
