If It Don't Trip Wire

(Iconic drum and bass fused pounding 808 basslines, intimate male-female narrative vocals in a Phonograph cylinder echoes)

No alerts… just variance…

No spikes… just drift…

Cache is cold…

…but something moved…

(Hook)

Cold cache, I don’t see—I infer

No noise in the line but the pattern still stir

Nothing on pane, still it’s there in the blur

If it don’t trip wire, then it’s something worse

Cold cache, I don’t chase—I wait

Let it breathe in the system, accumulate weight

No alert, no trace, no visible state

But the math don’t lie when it’s running too straight

(Verse 1)

No chair creak here, just a hum and a graph

Watching deviations that don’t quite map

Baseline smooth but it’s smoothing too clean

That’s the kind of flat that don’t naturally mean

No spike, no flood, no burst, no flame

Just a slight misalign in the shape of the frame

Entropy low but it’s lower than norm

That’s the kind of calm right before it forms

They look for noise, I look for the lack

For the missing piece that don’t echo back

Ghost in the null, not ghost in the wire

Nothing gets loud but the doubt climbs higher

You watch the pane, I watch the drift

Where the numbers don’t move but the weight still shift

You feel the hit, I feel the pre

That space before it decides to be

(Hook)

Cold cache, I don’t see—I infer

No noise in the line but the pattern still stir

Nothing on pane, still it’s there in the blur

If it don’t trip wire, then it’s something worse

Cold cache, I don’t chase—I wait

Let it breathe in the system, accumulate weight

No alert, no trace, no visible state

But the math don’t lie when it’s running too straight

(Verse 2)

Clock skew small but it leans one way

Not enough to flag but it’s starting to stay

Time don’t slip unless something insists

On bending the frame where the system exists

Out-of-band whisper, no port, no key

Doesn’t knock, doesn’t route, doesn’t need to be seen

Living off land but it’s lighter than that

Like it’s borrowing shape just to stay intact

Hash all match, file size same

Signature clean but I don’t trust the frame

Too perfect mirror, too stable a line

That’s the kind of still that don’t happen with time

Thread count steady but the feel ain’t right

Like something riding just out of sight

No fork, no spike, no visible split

But the scheduler knows there’s more than it fits

I don’t move fast, I don’t raise the alarm

I just mark the drift and I watch it form

By the time you see it, it’s already through

I don’t stop the breach—I prove it to you

(Bridge – almost spoken, clinical)

No panic… no rush…

No signal… too much…

You chase events…

I trace intent…

You see the fire…

I map the spark…

You hold the line…

I read the dark…

(Hook – slightly heavier low end, still restrained)

Cold cache, I don’t see—I infer

No noise in the line but the pattern still stir

Nothing on pane, still it’s there in the blur

If it don’t trip wire, then it’s something worse

Cold cache, I don’t chase—I wait

Let it breathe in the system, accumulate we
