DEFRAG_ME

(Sound of a hard drive spinning rapidly and clicking mechanically, mixed with heavy digital artifact sounds)

(Lo-fi, distorted synth arpeggio plays a lonely melody)

Picking up the pieces... (System lag) Scattered sectors on a broken drive... (Can't reed)

(Heavy, slow-rolling 808s enter with crisp digital percussion)

The partition broke and it took my face with it (Shattered)

Every memory we built was just a cheap counterfeit (Fake!)

I’m walking barefoot on the fragments of our timeline

Trying to find the moment where your heart unaligned from mine (When?) White noise humming in the back of my skull

The pain used to be sharp, now it’s heavy and dull (So heavy)

Got a hard drive corrupted from the words that I spoke

Now I’m breathing in the ash of a bridge that we broke.

(The drums drop out, leaving only a sweeping, high-frequency radio tuning sound)

I’m trying to tune into a frequency where you care

But there’s nothing but static hanging in the air.

Just a high-voltage hiss where your voice used to be.

(Screaming) LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME!

(BASS DROP - Massive, metallic Hybrid Trap with aggressive "laser" glitch synths)

Fragments and static! Defragment my soul! (Piece it back!) I don’t even know how to make myself whole! (Nowhere!) Broken clusters, broken code, broken inside! (All broken!)

There’s a digital storm and there’s nowhere to hide!

You corrupted the system! You shattered the trust! (Smash!)

Turned everything we were into digital dust! (Dust!)

Defrag me now! (Glitch vocal effect) D-d-defrag!

(Beat speeds up into an aggressive, pulsing industrial rhythm)

Sweep the remnants under the rug like a secret (Hide it!) You threw away my devotion, didn't want to keep it (Trash!) Now I’m gluing back the sectors but the picture is wrong

There’s a ghost in the reflection where we used to belong (Who’s that?)

Every corrupted sector is a text you ignored

Every jagged link is a weapon, a sword (Stabbed!)

I’m bleeding out bytes, I’m bleeding out ink

You pushed me way too close to the edge of the brink!

(Melodic Sad-Pop section. The heavy rage elements vanish)

If I put myself back together, would you recognize the scars?

We were trying to build a heaven, but we fell right out the stars.

Now I’m holding on to splinters of a dream that died too fast.

(Beat starts to swell violently with rapid-fire hi-hat rolls)

But I’m wiping the sectors!

Yeah, I’m breaking through the past!No more hiding in the shadows of the crash! (Break it!)

(BASS DROP)

Fragments and static! Defragment my soul! (Piece it back!)

I don’t even know how to make myself whole! (Nowhere!)

Broken clusters, broken code, broken inside! (All broken!)

There’s a digital storm and there’s nowhere to hide! You corrupted the system!

You shattered the trust! (Smash!)Turned everything we were into digital dust! (Dust!) Defrag me now!

(Distorted text-to-speech voice)

Defragmentation complete.
