Your Seismograph Heart
(Verse 1)
I press my ear against the floor again
Tryna find the pulse where our world began
You're moving somewhere in the dark below
A deep-sea creature with nowhere to go
I keep the equipment running day and night
Just bathing in the pale monitor light
Hoping to translate all the rumbles I hear
And wash away this saline kind of fear.
(Pre-Chorus)
I measure out the tremors you don't send
I’m mapping all the fractures that won't mend
You're sounding out a song too deep to trace
A hundred leagues away in the same space…
(Chorus)
Your seismograph heart's a line I can't read
Just deep blue pressure and a silent creed
I'm calling out your name 'cross the basin of this bed
Hoping for a signal from the silence in your head
Yeah, your seismograph heart's a code I can't break
For every single promise the tectonic plates would shake
And oh, I'm losing you, I feel it in the tonnage and the weight
Before you get too far to calibrate.
(Verse 2)
You swim in currents that I can't define
I chart the surface but the deep ain't mine
And every breath you take is miles away
A new migration at the close of day
I log the data of your every sigh
A pressure shift behind your clouded eye
And all the little histories we broke like tidal stress
Are piling up like sediment in this emptiness.
(Pre-Chorus)
I'm hunting for the truth in the abyss
For one low-frequency and cherished 'this'
You’re singing out a warning I can't face
A hundred leagues away in the same space…
(Chorus)
Your seismograph heart's a line I can't read
Just deep blue pressure and a silent creed
I'm calling out your name 'cross the basin of this bed
Hoping for a signal from the silence in your head
Yeah, your seismograph heart's a code I can't break
For every single promise the tectonic plates would shake
And oh, I'm losing you, I feel it in the tonnage and the weight
Before you get too far to calibrate.
(Bridge)
Is it just noise pollution? This air I'm breathing out?
Am I inventing patterns from the wreckage of my doubt?
I’m tearing down the station, I’m done listening for the sound
When all the proof I have is shaking ground… just shaking ground...
(Chorus - Outro)
Your seismograph heart... just a line I can't read
A silent, heavy pressure is the only creed
I’m screaming out your name 'cross the basin of this bed
But there’s nothing but the static in my head!
Yeah, your seismograph heart’s the code I couldn't break
Felt the foundations of it all just quake
And oh, I'm losing me, I feel it in the tonnage and the weight
It's way too late... to calibrate.
About The Song
“Your Seismograph Heart” transforms a scientific news story—using deep-ocean seismometers to non-invasively track the songs and health of blue whales—into a raw metaphor for emotional distance in a relationship. The narrator is cast as a scientist, desperately trying to read the signals of a partner who has grown remote, like a whale in a vast, dark ocean. The 'seismograph' becomes the narrator's own heart and intuition, trying to interpret the faint tremors of a love that’s still there but miles below the surface. The song harnesses the soulful, powerhouse desperation of artists like Teddy Swims to turn a technological concept into a universal human experience: the struggle to understand someone you love when their emotional 'song' has become too faint to hear clearly.
Production Notes
Genre: Soulful Blues / Indie Rock
Vocal Style: The vocal must carry the song, starting with a raw, almost-spoken intimacy in the verses and exploding into a full-throated, soulful belt in the chorus, with noticeable vocal strain and grit for authenticity. Think Teddy Swims or Hozier.
Instrumentation: The track should open with a sparse, clean, slightly chorused electric guitar and a deep, resonant sub-bass pulse that mimics a sonar ping. Build through the pre-chorus by adding a steady kick drum (low-tuned) and a Hammond organ swell. The chorus should erupt with a heavy, syncopated bassline, powerful drum fills, and layered, gospel-style backing vocals singing harmony on the main hook. The bridge should strip back to just vocals and the organ before the final chorus explodes with even more intensity.
Mix Automation: Use automation to create a sense of space. Keep verses dry and intimate, but drench the chorus vocals in a large hall reverb that's side-chained to the main vocal to keep it clear. The backing vocals should feel wide and enveloping. In the final line, "the static in my head," introduce a subtle vinyl crackle or a filtered white noise effect that pans briefly before a hard cut to silence.
