Static in the Walls | 80s Neon Theater-Pop (Upside Unknown)

THE SIGNAL IS COMING THROUGH. 💡 "Static in the Walls" is the second chapter of Upside Unknown, a theatrical concept EP inspired by the eerie atmosphere of Stranger Things Season 1. While we look back at the flickering lights of 1983, the mystery remains—is this the beginning of the Second Ending? From the first radio signal to the Conformity Gate, the static in the walls never truly goes silent.

High-drama theater-pop meets analog synth mystery.

// FULL LYRICS //
There’s a sound in the plaster tonight
Like a breath caught between rooms (it’s weird!)
The lights blink once for courage
Then forget what they’re meant to do
I laid my ear to the floral wallpaper
Heard a river of broken speech
Every word is a spark
Trying desperately to reach!

The house has learned a new language
Clicks and cries and calls
It’s spelling your name In the static in the walls!

Oh—don’t hide your voice in the wires
Don’t let it turn to snow! I’ll stand in the dark with my hands held up
Tuning you in low! Tap once for "yes," tap twice for "home"
I’m listening through it all
Your heart is knocking In the static in the walls!

Christmas lights like nervous stars
Blinking truths they barely know
Red means "wait," blue means "breathe"
Green means "don’t let go!"
The ceiling hums like a wounded thing
Every socket burns with fear
The silence isn’t empty now It’s full of you in here!

There’s a tremor in the ordinary
A shiver in the hall
Something’s trying to cross the line
Through the static in the walls!

If they say I’m hearing things?
Let them sleep so deep
Love makes instruments of houses
And teaches wood to speak! I’ll follow every broken signal!
Every spark that falls!
Until the world comes thin enough
For you to crawl!

Oh—don’t fade into the humming Don’t let the night decide!
I’ll pull you through the flickering From the other side!
Tap once—HERE! Tap twice—NOW!
I’m ready for the fall I’m breaking through
The static in the walls!

When the lights go quiet
And the house exhales at last...
We’ll turn the noise back into silence.
(I hear you... I hear you...)
