[Verse 1] All quiet on the online front Just a cursor blinking once An occasional minor cry From the Void slips through the wires Crickets chirping in the dark Like tiny jaws in the yard Nothing moves, nothing calls Just the hum behind it all [Pre-Chorus] I wait by the glass For a crack in the black For a sign, for a spark For a hand tapping back [Chorus] All quiet on the online front All quiet on the online front Minor cries, then they sink Down where the blue screens blink All quiet on the online front All quiet on the online front Crickets chirp, and I lean in Listening for the drift again [Verse 2] A name appears, then fades Like breath on a window pane I type a little more But the room stays closed at the door The Void makes one small sound Then the night folds it down I keep watch, I keep still Like a porch light on a hill [Pre-Chorus] I wait by the glass For a crack in the black For a sign, for a spark For a hand tapping back [Chorus] All quiet on the online front All quiet on the online front Minor cries, then they sink Down where the blue screens blink All quiet on the online front All quiet on the online front Crickets chirp, and I lean in Listening for the drift again [Bridge] If you’re out there, call me soft Drop a pebble in the dark I’ll hear it in the hush In the space between the heart [Final Chorus] All quiet on the online front All quiet on the online front Minor cries, then they sink Down where the blue screens blink All quiet on the online front All quiet on the online front Crickets chirp, and I lean in Listening for the drift again [Outro] I came looking, expectin' a fight, venomous words tossed like swords in the pale moonlight, but no flame wars today, seems nobody got nothin' to say. [A contrarian viewpoint response to my own prior tunes about being online too much, folks getting way too caught up in the dopamine hits online chaos (never taking needed breaks). Those times we're here looking for, maybe needing, some connectivity (know somebody else is out there) to only find quiet. Somehow an eerie silence to the usual Flame Wars endless tongues (rather tapping keys) chattering and swinging like swords in battle. ]
