[Intro – sterile ambience, HVAC hum, notification pings, distant typing sounds] [flat robotic voice] system online performance nominal ⸻ [Verse 1 – tight minimal beat, emotionless delivery] Wake up measured coffee tracked steps counted mood mapped Calendar breathing deadlines blinking attention sliced into monetized seconds Good morning productivity good evening burnout ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – slight rise, synth pulse begins] You are behind schedule. You are below target. ⸻ [Chorus – cold, repetitive] Optimized. Optimized. Your time is optimized. Your sleep is optimized. Your hunger is optimized. Optimized. Optimized. ⸻ [Verse 2 – groove deepens, industrial textures] We gamified survival called it motivation wrapped anxiety in pastel dashboards Every moment evaluated every silence suspicious rest becomes laziness stillness becomes failure You are a KPI now. ⸻ [Spoken Drop – stripped beat, close whisper] Do more. Be better. Try harder. Repeat. ⸻ [Build – kick returns gradually, bass tightens] Your value is scalable. Your dreams are optional. Your worth is conditional. ⸻ [Chorus – stronger, more oppressive] Optimized. Optimized. Calories optimized. Thoughts optimized. Relationships optimized. Optimized. Optimized. ⸻ [Bridge – darker, heavier bass] Even your sadness has a productivity curve Even your joy needs justification ⸻ [Breakdown – music drops to cold pads, breathing sounds emerge] [human voice, quiet] I’m tired. ⸻ [Transition – warmth barely enters] [spoken] We weren’t built for this. ⸻ [Verse 3 – emotional cracks appear] We were built for forests for firelight for hands in hands for slow mornings We were built to wander not to accelerate built to feel weather not notifications ⸻ [Build – piano enters, choir pads swell, rhythm softens] Somewhere along the way we confused speed with meaning ⸻ [Final Chorus – emotional release] I don’t want to be optimized I want to be alive I don’t want efficiency I want eye contact I don’t want metrics I want moments I don’t want optimized I want real ⸻ [Extended Chant – group vocals] Not optimized Alive Not optimized Alive ⸻ [Outro – long fade, human breathing over fading beat] [soft voice] You are not a system. You are a body. [ambient tail]
