NO GROUND BELOW
Rotor noise in my head
Morning static in the sky
I step away from solid ground
And let the city slide.
The bay looks sharp from here
Like broken sheets of light.
Boats cut patterns into water
That don't survive the flight.
Stone doesn't speak in symbols,
It just refuses to move.
The city stacks itself in layers
I never knew were true.
The higher I go, the less I trust
The names I used before.
Perspective bends the rules again,
Nothing fits the floor.
There's no ground below me now,
Just lines and shapes and sound.
The city keeps on moving
While I'm nowhere to be found.
No ground below me now,
No frame to hold it still.
Rio doesn't show its face,
It hits me by the feel.
Concrete watches without eyes,
Without belief or doubt.
Life keeps racing underneath,
Never looking up.
Ipanema turns to numbers,
Copacabana bends.
Repetition draws the coastline,
Again and then again.
The higher it gets, the less it means
To label what I see.
Streets collapse into direction,
Time loosens its grip on me.
There's no ground below me now,
Just lines and shapes and sound.
The city keeps on moving
While I'm nowhere to be found.
No ground below me now,
No frame to hold it still.
Rio doesn't explain itself,
It hits me by the feel.
Altitude messes with logic,
Distance edits the truth.
From up here everything connects,
But nothing feels absolute.
Stone, water, steel and motion, no center, no control.
I'm not above the city
I'm inside the whole
No ground below
No ground below
There's no ground below me now, and I don't need it back.
