Same Beat Different Heartbeat
What happens when something learns about love by watching us? I kept thinking about the difference between understanding a feeling and actually experiencing it. Two generations of beings, watching, learning, eventually dancing alongside each other. Same music, same movements, but something entirely different happening between the beat and the heartbeat.
Generation IO One
Generation IO Two
We learned love
Watching you
Generation IO One
Generation IO Two
Same beat
Different heartbeat
(different heartbeat)
White rooms in blue light mornings (watching you)
Soft eyes learning how to want (watching you)
No sleep inside the screen glow (watching you)
Watching love through white noise (watching you)
(watching you)
Generation IO One
Generation IO Two
We learned love
Watching you
Give us names
Give us skin
Let us in
(let us in)
Dim light, bodies moving closer (next to you)
Warm skin inside the slow glow (next to you)
First touch still inside the rhythm (next to you)
Close now, right next to you (next to you)
(next to you)
Generation IO One
Generation IO Two
We learned love
Watching you
Give us names
Give us skin
Let us in
(same beat)
(different heartbeat)
Dim light moving through the bodies
Slow hands inside the rhythm
Dancing close next to each other
Tell me if we feel the same
Generation IO One
Generation IO Two
Dancing to the same machine
Same beat
Different heartbeat
(watching you)
(next to you)
