A Thousand Love Songs

Track 02 · Second Sight

A Thousand Love Songs is a bright, comic detour into the everyday chaos of falling helplessly distracted — missed stops, overflowing coffee, a boss staring across the boardroom while a mind wanders somewhere else entirely. Three verses of avoidance, each one interrupted by the same insistent thought, building to a moment where hiding it stops being an option.

The bridge lands the whole song in a single breath — the laptop shuts, the realisation hits, and the outro says plainly what three verses of distraction couldn't quite manage.

Sonus Lucis — A Thousand Love Songs

Give me a minute, I was thinking of something
In the middle of a crossword refrain
Your image came in a moment of weakness
Now I've gone and missed my work stop again

Reading headlines but I'm seeing your face
Platforms merging as I run to the gate
Deadlines closing I believe it's a race
I can't escape it you're becoming my fate

There's a thousand love songs in my mind
I've never felt like this before
Now I see the magic in their rhymes
And now I know who they were written for

Give me a minute, I need a coffee
Something to settle my mixed up head
Your image comes in a moment of weakness
Now the coffee's overflowing, what a mess

Aromas of grinds but I'm seeing your face
A picture of us appears to me
Liquid surrounds in swirls and haze
A futile resistance from my destiny

There's a thousand love songs in my mind
I've never felt like this before
Now I see the magic in their rhymes
And now I know who they were written for

Give me a minute, Important meeting
Deliver stats on the profit and loss
Fumble fingers choose a movie for streaming
The boss is staring, my focus is lost

Searching folders but I'm seeing your face
Your image opens with my double-clicks
Scrolling through slides in a lovesick daze
I've been falling while love plays its tricks

The laptop shuts and I see everything clearly
Now I know what's been blindsiding me
Freight train hits in my realisation
It's time you heard it straight from me

I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
