Being Human (No Assembly Required)

glitch rock, industrial, electronic (IDM / glitch)

[Intro]

[Long Intro]

[Intro]
“Welcome user…
Initialization… incomplete… …
no assembly required… …
results may vary…”

[Verse 1]
Came in a box marked “Good to go” 
No plug-and-play—just go with the flow 
Preloaded feelings, factory-installed 
But half of the features don’t work at all
Got smiling.exe but it lags for days 
Empathy’s stuck in the loading phase 
Battery drains when I try to care 
And the “confidence” patch just isn’t there

[Chorus]
Being human — no assembly required, a treat 
Plug me in, and I’m already obsolete 
All the parts came pre-wired wrong 
Still somehow expected to carry on
Being human — straight out the crate 
Some screws loose but it ships that way
 If it breaks, just shrug with dismay 
“Guess that’s normal… these days”

[Verse 2]
User manual’s written in Chinese what a shame 
Every page says “you’re to blame” 
To troubleshoot love? Just turn it off 
Wait five minutes, then reboot the loss
Got dreams installed but they won’t compile 
They crash real hard after just one trial 
And every update just adds new bugs 
Now even my circuits hold a grudge

[Verse 3]
Social settings: default to “weird” 
Auto-correct turns “truth” to “feared” 
Small talk module completely fried
 Laugh track plays at the wrong damn time
Mirror shows a corrupted file Identity flickers mile by mile
 And somewhere deep in the system logs It says: 
“This build was built with flaws”

[Bridge]
…timeout error in the soul… …
packet loss in self-control… …
infinite loop between heart and mind… …
please stand by… please stand by…
Thermal spike when emotions rise 
Blue screen triggered by someone’s eyes 
Buffer overrun when I overthink 
Pull the plug… if I’m on the brink…

[Long Solo]

[Verse 4]
Now I’m buzzing like a severed wire 
Running hot with a phantom fire 
Every thought in a feedback loop
 Trying to process what I can’t compute
But the label still says “works just fine”
 “Fully functional—most of the time” 
So I’ll keep on glitching through the day 
Like I was built to break this way

[Chorus]
Being human — no assembly required, a treat 
Plug me in, and I’m already obsolete 
Every fix just rewrites itself
 No rules to follow, no sense of self
Being human — take it or leave 
No returns, no guarantees 
Being human is not hard to fake—
 No limitations… now watch me break

[Outro]

[End Song]
