The Last Transmission

Key: C Minor
Tempo: 68 BPM – slow, atmospheric ballad with lush synth layers, emotional strings,
and ambient textures Style: Soul meets cinematic chillwave – haunting, heartfelt, and timeless

[Verse 1]

Cm – Ab – Eb – G
Typed the words but they felt too small
For the weight of what I had to call
This isn’t goodbye—it’s more like a wave
From a ship that knows it can’t be saved

Cm – Ab – Eb – Bb
Your silence wrapped around my voice
And made the ending not a choice
So here I am, one final spark
Reaching for you in the dark

[Chorus]

Eb – Bb – Cm – Ab
This is the last transmission, my final tone
A signal sent from a heart alone
No echo comin’, just static and sky
But I had to try… had to try

Eb – Bb – Cm – Ab
If you hear me on some far-off day
Know I loved you, come what may
One more message in the cosmic sea
Before you forget me entirely

[Verse 2]

Cm – Ab – Eb – G
I replay scenes like reels of film
Your laugh, your tears—my every sin
I don’t know where we lost the thread
But every line still loops my head

Cm – Ab – Eb – Bb
You were my now, my then, my when
But time won’t circle back again
So I whisper through this frozen haze
And pray it finds you through the waves

[Chorus]

Eb – Bb – Cm – Ab
This is the last transmission, from the place we were
Before love collapsed into a blur
It’s quiet now, no signal strength
But I still send this at full length

Eb – Bb – Cm – Ab
Let the universe carry my refrain
Through galaxies of joy and pain
Just know… no matter where you be
Part of my soul drifts endlessly

[Bridge – Spoken or soft falsetto]

Fm – Ab – Eb – Bb
“I miss the way you looked at me
Like I was the future you could see
Now I’m just a voice in wires and wind
But I loved you… through the end.”

[Final Chorus – soft, stripped, emotional]

Eb – Bb – Cm – Ab
This is the last transmission…
Not for closure, just permission
To let go, but not forget
To release the love we never met

[Outro – Long fade, ambient echo]

Cm – Ab – Eb – G
“…End of message.”
(Soft instrumental fadeout with vintage radio static)
