Labrats - Parallel Universe Me

Lyrics:

[Intro – Synth arpeggios, cosmic reverb]
Somewhere out there... another me...
Making different choices... living free...
Through the static... I can see...
Who I was meant to be...
[Verse 1]
Woke up wondering 'bout the road not taken
Every decision splits reality in two
In another world, am I still breaking
Or did that version make it through
She took the job I was too scared to try
Said yes when I said no
Lives in the city where I used to cry
Dancing where I couldn't go
[Pre-Chorus]
Signal bleeding through dimensions
Static from another life
All my alternate intentions
Cut me like a cosmic knife
[Chorus – Anthemic, soaring]
Parallel universe me — living fearlessly
Parallel universe me — who I'm meant to be
Through the quantum divide — she's my other side
Parallel universe me — set me free
[Verse 2]
Different haircut, different attitude
Speaks her mind when I bite my tongue
Every risk that I've eschewed
She embraced when she was young
Loved the one I let slip away
Traveled roads I'll never see
Sometimes late at night I pray
For just a glimpse of being free
[Pre-Chorus]
Frequency across the void
Messages I can't decode
All the chances I destroyed
Live on in her postal code
[Chorus – Building momentum]
Parallel universe me — living fearlessly
Parallel universe me — who I'm meant to be
Through the quantum divide — she's my other side
Parallel universe me — set me free
[Bridge – Dreamy, ethereal]
What if I could cross the line
Trade places for a day
Would she want this life of mine
Or would she run away
Maybe she looks back at me
Wondering what went wrong
Two souls in infinity
Singing different songs
[Final Chorus – Epic, layered harmonies]
Parallel universe me — living fearlessly
Parallel universe me — who I'm meant to be
Through the quantum divide — she's my other side
Parallel universe me —
Maybe I'm already free
Maybe I'm already me
Parallel universe we —
Living simultaneously
[Outro – Fading cosmic sounds]
Every choice creates a world...
Every path becomes a me...
Infinite and unfurled...
Who I am... who I could be...
(Reverb fades to silence)
