Lyric

I thought standing apart

Meant standing alone

A quiet distance

Misread as empty space

But every line I follow

Was drawn by something else

Nothing begins

Without touching something before

If I move slower

Than the crowd allows

It doesn’t mean I’m lost

It means I’m listening

Isolation never truly exists

It only looks that way from far away

What feels like distance

Is just a different rhythm

I don’t disappear

I refract

I shine

In my own timing

Every voice bends time

In its own quiet way

Some arrive early

Some land late

But none of us fall

Outside the song

We are variations

Not exceptions

If I don’t echo

What you expect to hear

It’s not rejection

It’s design

Isolation never truly exists

Difference is not a crack

But a prism

Turning one light

Into many colors

Uniqueness

Is not separation

It’s proximity

To something truer

I am not apart

I am aligned

Just glowing

On a different beat
