The Geometry of the Final Breath
MurmrX — At Least We Get This
There are songs written for beginnings. Others are written for endings. But some songs exist in the quieter space between — the moment when two people recognize that something is changing, yet choose to stay inside the warmth that still remains.
“At Least We Get This” is MurmrX’s Valentine’s Day release for that in-between moment. It is not a breakup song, nor a reconciliation. It doesn’t offer closure, demand forgiveness, or frame love as something that must last forever to be meaningful.
Instead, it lingers in the fragile agreement of the present: the shared bed, the closeness, the understanding that even if the future is uncertain, this moment is real.
What the Song Is About
“At Least We Get This” is about temporary peace. About choosing presence over prediction. About acknowledging that something may be ending without rushing to erase the intimacy that still exists.
The song captures the quiet intimacy of staying — not out of denial, but out of honesty. It recognizes that love does not lose its value simply because it does not last forever.
Why This Song Is Different
Previous MurmrX releases often confront aftermath, emotional reckoning, or rupture. This track does something more restrained — and riskier.
It refuses to resolve.
There is no dramatic emotional climax engineered for catharsis. The song unfolds gently, trusting the listener to sit with discomfort rather than escape it. The result is a listening experience that feels intimate, unresolved, and quietly devastating in the way real moments often are.
The Fibonacci Structure
“At Least We Get This” is built around a Fibonacci-based structure — a mathematical sequence that appears throughout nature, from spiral galaxies to human growth patterns.
Rather than following a traditional verse-chorus symmetry, the song expands and contracts in uneven, organic intervals. This creates a subtle sense of inevitability. The song feels like it is moving forward even when it seems still.
That imbalance mirrors the emotional reality of the story it tells: a relationship growing and dissolving at the same time.
Queer Intimacy Without Translation
“At Least We Get This” does not attempt to explain or soften queer intimacy for a broader gaze. It simply exists inside it.
The song reflects a truth many LGBTQ listeners recognize immediately — that love can be real, meaningful, and deeply felt even when it is temporary or unstable.

The Visual Lyric Video
The accompanying visual lyric video reflects the song’s restraint. There is no dramatic narrative arc or overt symbolism. Instead, the visuals focus on texture, breath, proximity, and stillness.
Hands rest rather than reach. Touch exists without urgency. The camera observes rather than intrudes.
The visual presentation incorporates AI-assisted tools as part of MurmrX’s broader creative and structural process.
