Original song (C) Oden Eriksson

Offgrid

Verse 1
I never stayed between the lines
Too cramped and full of signs
You offered pace and never peace
A cycle set to catch and release
You ran ahead, I fell behind
So I let go to save my mind

Pre-Chorus
Not built for noise
Or flashing screens
I’m more than stats
Or plastic dreams

Chorus
I don’t belong inside your maze
I don’t perform for passing praise
No ticking goals or numbered lanes
I move in ways you can’t explain
You won’t define what I became
What am I?

Verse 2
You marked the rules in neon red
But I found peace instead
Where nothing begs for time or praise
And every hour holds its place
The air is clear, the pressure gone
And no one pulls me to perform

Pre-Chorus 2
No buzzing feed
No phantom ring
I closed the loop
I cut the cord

Chorus
I don’t belong inside your maze
I don’t perform for passing praise
No ticking goals or numbered lanes
I move in ways you can’t explain
You won’t define what I became
What am I?

Bridge
You speed ahead
I let you pass
I never chased
Your mirrored glass
There’s something strong in staying true
To what the world grows blind to view

Final Chorus
I don’t belong inside your maze
I learned to live in slower days
Not built to flash or be retained
I keep the parts you called too plain
You won’t define what I became
What am I?

Final Line
What am I?
