🎶 Waiting Room — World
KGOD’s Bardo Broadcast – World Album
Style: Swampy, slow-drawl groove with eerie undercurrents. Here’s the English version for your edification and amusement:
[Verse 1]
Welcome to the Waiting Room
Where nothing’s really clear
You might be dead, you might be late —
But you’re definitely here.
Take a seat that fits your karma
(That’s a form you didn’t fill)
There’s a coffee pot from 1983
And time just stands… until.
[Chorus]
No clocks, no locks, no windows too
Just flickering lights and déjà vu
We’re paging you through veil and gloom
Welcome, friend, to the Waiting Room
[Verse 2]
The magazines all read your mind
But only in italics
The vending machine dispenses dreams
And slightly stale nostalgics.
The receptionist knows all your names
(From lives you can’t recall)
And whispers softly, “Almost time…”
While staring at the wall.
[Chorus]
No doors, no floor, no exit cue
Just ceiling tiles and karma stew
We’ll play your theme in minor tune
Welcome back to the Waiting Room
[Bridge – spoken word over eerie ambience]
“Now serving… zero.
Now serving… zero.
You may approach the desk… never.”
[Final Chorus – slower, fading]
No past, no next, no sense of doom
Just you, yourself, and timeless bloom
We’re always here, we’ll see you soon…
Welcome to… the Waiting Room

This is the lyric sheet for what’s coming in tomorrow’s song album:
🎶 SOUL NUMBER ZERO
by E.J. Gold
(Swamp Bardo Lounge version)
[Verse 1]
…now serving… zero.
Please approach the desk.
Not that one — the other one.
No… the other other one.
Yes, the one glowing slightly.
Take a number.
Now forget it.
[Chorus]
Sit down.
Stand up.
Float.
You’ve made it.
You’re still waiting.
Soul Number Zero…
and the line never ends.
[Verse 2]
This is the moment that never happened,
in the room that doesn’t exist,
on the day you weren’t born,
waiting for the call that never comes —
but always already did.
[Bridge]
The carpet hums.
The ceiling breathes.
The swamp band plays
one long, low note —
the note you almost remember
from a dream you never had.
[Chorus]
Walk.
Don’t Walk.
Be.
Don’t Be.
Now…
Not yet.
The sign is blinking both ways.
And the crossing is always green.
[Verse 3]
A cab pulls up with no driver.
The meter says: “∞.∞∞”
The radio’s playing your theme song…
in reverse.
And you know the words —
though they haven’t been written.
[Bridge – spoken over eerie vamp]
“You are here. (Temporarily.)”
And on the pole, a flyer flaps:
“Seeking: Soul Number Zero.
Must be willing to wait forever.”
[Outro]
You reach for it.
It vanishes.
But your pocket feels heavier now.
Yes…
your pocket feels heavier now.
You were never supposed to leave…
and you haven’t.
[Sustain – long low chord]
Soul Number Zero.
Soul Number Zero.
Still… waiting.
