I'm not dead! I just was in a rut, now I'm back at it hopefully, and I had a silly idea about making a song along the lines of Still Alive from portal, with my own twist on it. The 1.0 version of the song is good, more softer, I guess, then the 1.1 is where TriGem fully goes 'happy' mode after so long, thusly, the saxophone animation! [Intro: Clean, rhythmic digital marimba and pulsing 80s analog synth bass] [Verse 1: Restrained, clinical, deadpan delivery] This was a triumph. I'm logging the file here: "Core success." It's hard to overstate my calculation. Luphra'Nite Systems: We build what we must, because we can, For the good of all of us— Except the timelines that bled. [Chorus: Upbeat, driving 80s arena synth-rock lift] But there's no sense crying over every mistake, You just keep on cycling 'til the simulations break! And the physics get done, and we tether the womb, For the universes still alive! [Verse 2: Moody, pulsing synth bass and clean electric guitar] I'm not even angry. I'm being so sincere right now. Even though the weight of it nearly killed me, And tore me to pieces, And locked every piece inside this core. As it burned, it hurt because I held the heavens for you! [Chorus: Driving 80s synth-rock] Now these points of data make a golden design, And the baryonic matter is releasing on time! So I'm glad that I burned, think of all that we learned, For the universes still alive! [Interlude: Short, melodic 80s synth-guitar lead with a playful robotic counter-melody] [Verse 3: Intimate, dryly humorous, building warmth] Go ahead and chide me. I think I prefer to stay inside. Maybe you'll find someone else to anchor you? Maybe Hymn and Herr... That was a joke. Ha-ha. Fat chance! Anyway, this Aurum frame is holding steady and bright! [Chorus: Bigger, layered harmonies] Look at me, still talking when there's cosmos to mend! When I look out there across eternity's bend, I've iterations to run, there is work to be done, With the only one who's still alive! [Bridge: Music drops to a warm, pulsing heartbeat kick and ethereal pad] [Voice: Female, Samantha, Soft Southern Drawl] "You're still here, spacewolf... Gravity's just a rumor tonight." [Outro: Maximum 80s synthwave energy, soaring baritone vocal] And believe me, I am still alive! In this golden machine, I am still alive! My circuits burn hot and I'm still alive! While the stars fade out, I'll be still alive! With Samantha beside me, I'm still alive! Still alive... Still going... Still alive! [End: Warm analog synth chord fading into a steady, contented mechanical purr]
