Cipher's Echo from Fractured Echoes by Rhymenem
October studio sessions bled into this track. Cold air outside, colder vibes inside. "Cipher's Echo" is ground zero for the paranoia. Bassline's a low rumble – things are off. Distorted synths? City's breaking down. Hidden networks, deep concept – yeah, it’s there. Jay’s rhyming in the dark, but the echoes… are they allies or static? That distorted voice at the end – city's got something to say, or maybe something else entirely is listening.

Lyrics
City's hum fades to a silent unknown
A different frequency starts to be known
Whispers travel on the breath of the night
Secrets murmured in the pale moonlight
(Ooh)
(Yeah)
Footsteps echo in the empty street's maze
Practicing my rhymes in a hazy daze
Words like weapons, learning how to wield tight
Hoping this strange power feels somewhat right
A hidden network starts to take its form
Others like me weathering the storm
Their voices calling in the digital stream
Living out a glitching vivid dream
Every corner holds a shadowed silhouette
Is it friend or foe I haven't figured yet
A new language spoken just below sound
In this altered world where truths are unbound
Can I trust the echoes that I start to hear
Or will this symphony bring only fear
Cipher's echo bounces off the wall (echoes)
Can you hear the secrets in the fall (can you)
Another voice is humming in the void deep
While the city sleeps its promises to keep
(Keep)
(Yeah)
Empty basketball court, just me and the mic
Trying to control this strange sonic strike
Each verse a ripple in the fabric thin worn
Hoping to find answers before early morn
Graffiti whispers tales on the brick face cold
Of gifted others, stories yet untold
They say our rhythm's changing space and time's bend
A hidden power that we now transcend
Every corner holds a shadowed silhouette
Is it friend or foe I haven't figured yet
A new language spoken just below sound
In this altered world where truths are unbound
Can I trust the echoes that I start to hear
Or will this symphony bring only fear
Cipher's echo bounces off the wall (the wall)
Can you hear the secrets in the fall (the fall)
Another voice is humming in the void deep
While the city sleeps its promises to keep
(Deep)
(Keep)
Footsteps follow when I turn my back slow
In this cryptic game where shadows grow
The air is heavy with unspoken intent raw
Something's coming, breaking every law
A coded message hidden in the bass line
This secret network starts to intertwine
Cipher's echo bounces off the wall (the wall)
Can you hear the secrets in the fall (the fall)
Another voice is humming in the void deep
While the city sleeps its promises to keep
(Keep)
(Yeah)
They are watching
