Story — Nothing Special Happened
Verse 1
I was waiting for a feeling
Like a light to break the sky
Something warm and reassuring
Something I could call “mine”
I kept checking every moment
Held it up against a scale
If it wasn’t shining brightly
I assumed that I had failed
Pre-Chorus
But the wind kept moving anyway
And the world didn’t explain…
Chorus
There’s nothing extra here
No signal in the noise
Just seeing, hearing, breathing
Without a second voice
No badge of understanding
No state to appear—
Just this simple moment
With nothing extra here
Verse 2
A bird crossed over water
And for once I didn’t speak
No naming, no comparing
No reaching for a peak
Then a thought came rushing after
Saying “that was clarity”
And I felt the whole thing tighten
As it turned into a “me”
Pre-Chorus
But the thought was just a ripple
On the surface of the sea…
Chorus
There’s nothing extra here
No special kind of view
Just thoughts and sounds and movement
Doing what they do
No need to hold a moment
Or make it reappear—
Just this quiet living
With nothing extra here
Bridge
Not something you can capture
Not something you can keep
It’s what remains uncovered
When you stop mistaking sleep
For something deep and hidden
For something far away—
It’s just what’s always happening
When nothing’s in the way
Final Chorus
There’s nothing extra here
No final thing to find
Just life without the overlay
Of trying to define
No clarity to grasp at
No state to engineer—
Just this, as it’s unfolding…
With nothing extra here.
