[Verse 1] Day one, glass box, future looks bright Jellybean gravel, neon candy light Plastic jungle in a purple-green haze Bubble filter humming like a synthwave phase We said “Let’s fish!” but the clerk said “No— Gotta let that nitrogen cycle grow” So we stare at water like it’s gonna perform Waiting for the tank to biologically transform [Pre-Chorus] Test strip, drip drop, science in a swirl Tiny little ecosystem in a tiny little world [Chorus] Cycle mode, don’t overload Let it spin, let it code Micro life in a disco dome We’re not ready—but we’re close to home Shrampies hide, fish gonna glide Bubbles popping in a neon tide Cycle mode, we’re in the zone Building up a liquid throne [Verse 2] Week two—zoom in—flash of chrome Five neon tetras, diamond dome Shiny little heads and electric red tails Moving like a glitch in synchronized trails One’s an introvert, yeah, we all agree Hiding by the filter like “Don’t look at me” Social anxiety in a freshwater scene While the others go full caffeine machine And the shrampies—yo—where’d they go? Tiny red ghosts in a hide-and-seek show “Where’s Waldo?” in the java fake leaves Nibble-nibble hustle, doing shrimp things [Pre-Chorus] Click-clack claws and a sideways dash Life gets weird in a ten-gallon flash [Chorus] Cycle mode, don’t overload Let it spin, let it code Mini city in a glass cyclone Every creature got a micro-tone Shrampies creep, fish don’t sleep Introvert lurking in the deep Cycle mode, we’re in the zone Living in a liquid drone [Bridge] (industrial / robotic breakdown) Ammonia spike—ALERT—ALERT Toxic wave in a glass dessert Test the water—red zone—flip— Emergency siphon drip-drip-drip (half-spoken) “Partial change—stabilize— Save the shrampies—optimize” [Verse 3] New world drop—plants go real Roots in the gravel, bio appeal Fake ones out, now it’s organic chic Shrimps go ballistic—zooming all week Glass bonk!—they ricochet Tiny chaos in a big ballet Panic dance in a planted scene Like they’ve never seen chlorophyll green But give it time and the vibe resets Now they’re chilling like aquatic jets Nibbling calm in their leafy maze Back to their shrampy, peaceful ways [Final Chorus] [bigger, groovier] Cycle mode, now we flow Life unlocked in the undertow Tiny hearts in a pulsing dome We made a wild little world their home Shrampies out, fish in flight Introvert still ghosting sight Cycle mode—fully grown— From empty tank to ecosystem
