[Intro 15 seconds - low fuzz drone, old arcade ambience] [8-bit sawtooth arpeggio flickers under massive slow riff] [Spoken] System unstable... Are they here again... Please... BUG OFF! [Verse 1] Mountains of cans and a static gloom CRT glows in a pitch black room Code got cursed beyond bizarre Cursor blinks like a dying star Discharge bugs in the copper maze Lone bug hunter in a smokin’ haze Little critters chewing the wire Tiny jaws in the rectifier [Pre-Chorus] Hexa-decimal fever dreams Nothing works the way it seems [Chorus] Bug off! Get outta my machine Bug off! Corrupting every screen Glitchy monsters in the RAM Scaling while the systems jam Bug off! Those little parasites Bug off! Only come out at night Inside the code they breed and feed Digital locusts born from random seed [Instrumental Break - huge fuzz riff with retro arcade synth doubling guitar] [8-bit sawtooth melodic arpeggio melt into wah-soaked solo] [Verse 2] Centipede crawling through the stack Data trail fading into black Spider nests in the ethernet Every reboot just makes it spread Termites eating the source code bare Maggots crawling everywhere Cockroach eggs in files I save Loading me to be their slave [Bridge - tempo drops, psychedelic and crushing] [Phaser-heavy bass, distant arcade insect noises] I hear them scratching behind the fan Hiding from the system scan Mutations born from overload Insects marching the circuit board [Build – drums drop out, distorted computer voice] Debug... Recompile... Crash... --- Exterminate... REPEAT! [Instrumental Breakdown – massive half-time riff, oscillating synth noise, arcade glitches spiraling out of control] [Feedback swells, fan noise, blown speaker crackle] Bug off! ---- Bug off! ---- [Final Chorus - louder, layered gang vocals] Bug off! Get outta my head Bug off! The P_S_U turns red! Chip sized vermin multiply Deep inside the power supply Bug off! No pesticide in sight Bug off! The swarm eats every byte Problems racing, system-wide Welcome to the debug ride [Outro - collapsing tape effect, slowing riff] [Old computer voice] Fatal error... Fatal error... Fatal error... ARE THEY HERE AGAIN? Please... [cut] BUG OFF! [End with amplifier hum and arcade explosion sound] -------------- Bug off [NDC TT Stoner rock] Copyright © 2026 JAG for NDC Throwback Thursday Genre: Stoner Rock Theme: Bugs A track about debugging, but turned rather physical/hardware, so could be hallucinatory. Ironically, Suno went down, so will have to satisfy with this version for now. Not sure if it’s fully within the genre, but it said “whatever you like” and, I do (just wanted more arpeggio). 🙂 --------------
