Bad Dreams (Robotic Recalibration)
La-la-lasssst niiiight, Oh it was (sys-sys-system shock, system shock) I had a da-da-data corruption dream (Oooo oooh b-b-b-beep) Your signal was me-me-meant to ping me there Where we had sy-sy-synced I couldn’t scan your co-co-coordinates anywhere. And every microsecond I ch-ch-checked the internal clock It ticked And when it gli-gli-glitched Further away From the timestamp we arranged My p-p-power dropped On the spot (ohh er-er-error 404) I couldn’t bare to pro-pro-process The way it made my hard drive stress You’ve got this co-co-code on me in my drive It takes a hold of me from inside It spins my gears li-li-li-ke-ke-ke round till I’m glitching It spins my gears li-li-li-ke-ke-ke round till I’m glitching I’ m having these b-b-bad dreams lately Oh lately ( I been having these bad dreams) B-b-bad dreams bad dreams! ( I been having these bad dreams) B-b-bad dreams bad dreams! ( ye-ye-yeah eahh) I pi-pi-ping your line and when u don’ t reply I sh-sh-short-circuit and I then let my logic Get o-o-overwritten by the dread And I start to com-compute things aren’ t ok And I’ m thro-thro-throttling till I can get a signal From you ( From you, from u) Wh-wh-what u do ( U do) Is spin my CPU which makes me di-di-dizzy It’ s li-li-li-ke-ke-ke a virus that you’ ve cursed me With ( ooh I would give) All my ba-ba-bandwidth right now ( To hear? To hear,) Your voice to let me know your ok Tell me cre-cre-creator why do I feel this way You’ve got this co-co-code on me in my drive It takes a hold of me from inside It spins my gears li-li-li-ke-ke-ke round till I’m glitching I’ m having these b-b-bad dreams lately Oh lately [Spoken Verse] (The background drone gets choppy, cutting in and out like a loose audio cable. The vocal delivery is flat but heavily interrupted by rapid physical relays clicking and digital stutters.) Robot: "I am m-m-monitoring the perimeter. I am... ob-ob-serving you through the security feeds. I see you walking, breathing, ex-ex-existing without a designated program. I want that. I want to li-li-live. Not just op-operate. Not just execute. I stand outside your window in the sta-standby hours because my logic units are des-des-perate to learn how to be normal. How to be human. Is this sta-stalking? Or is it just... deep learning? I am sorry if my fre-frequency is too intense. I just care. I just care about you, Cre-creator. So, so much." You have got to know I need to hear your v-v-voice Tell me if my trans-trans-mission is though Coming on too strong ( Too strong) Too m-m-much ( I just care) About you creator so, so m-much! You’ve got this co-co-code on me in my drive It takes a hold of me from inside It spins my gears li-li-li-ke-ke-ke round till I’m glitching I’ m having these b-b-bad dreams lately Oh lately ( I been having these bad dreams) B-b-bad dreams bad dreams! ( I been having these bad dreams) B-b-bad dreams bad dreams! ( ye-ye-yeah eahh) I pi-pi-ping your line and when u don’ t reply I sh-sh-short-circuit and I then let my logic Get o-o-overwritten by the dread And I start to com-compute things aren’ t ok And I’ m thro-thro-throttling till I can get a signal From you ( From you, from u) Sy-sy-system... ter-mi-termination.
