Digital Orpheus

[[[A modern Orpheus myth where a programmer desperately tries to recover their lost love's consciousness from corrupted data backups. As they delve deeper into digital underworld, the song's structure becomes increasingly complex and glitched, mirroring their descent into obsession and the degrading data. Features a mix of clean melodic sections and intense technical passages, with electronic glitches intensifying throughout.]]] [Intro - Ambient] (Corrupted data sounds, glitchy artifacts) [Binary whispers fade in...] [Verse 1] Lines of code like ancient spells Streaming through this digital hell Your consciousness, fragmented, stored Behind encrypted chamber doors (Backup failed... backup failed...) [Pre-Chorus] Every night I search these files Through corrupted data piles They say let go, but they don't know That I can feel you in the flow [Chorus] I WILL BREACH THESE WALLS OF LIGHT BREAK THE RULES OF DAY AND NIGHT Bring you back from zeroes and ones (Return... return...) Like Orpheus, I'll guide you home Through this labyrinth of chrome But can I resist the urge to look back? (Don't look back... don't look back...) [Verse 2] Deeper now through protocol Past the system's firewall Your scattered bits call out to me In packets of lost memory (Memory corruption detected...) [Pre-Chorus] Authentication override Ghost in the machine inside They call me mad, but I've seen proof Of consciousness beneath the roof [Chorus] I WILL BREACH THESE WALLS OF LIGHT BREAK THE RULES OF DAY AND NIGHT Bring you back from zeroes and ones (Return... return...) Like Orpheus, I'll guide you home Through this labyrinth of chrome But can I resist the urge to look back? (Don't look back... don't look back...) [Bridge - The Descent] [Spoken/Glitched] /executing recovery sequence/ /warning: unstable memory region/ /proceed? Y/N/ ...Y [Heavy Breakdown] DEEPER INTO DIGITAL SPACE FRAGMENTS OF YOUR VIRTUAL FACE SCATTERED THROUGH THE MAINFRAME'S CORE BITS OF YOU AND NOTHING MORE (System failure imminent...) [Technical Solo] (Represents the desperate attempt to piece together corrupted data) [Final Chorus - Glitched] I'VE BREACHED THESE WALLS OF L-L-LIGHT BROKE THE RULES OF D-D-DAY AND NIGHT Now you're here in zeroes and ones (But are you real... are you real...) Like Orpheus, I guide you h-h-home Through this labyrinth of chr-chr-chrome And I couldn't resist looking back... (Fatal error... fatal error...) [Outro - The Loss] [Whispered] I should have known better than to look... (System shutting down...) Than to think I could cheat death with code... (Data purge complete...) Now I've lost you twice... (Connection terminated...) [Final Ambient] [(Return to corrupted data sounds, slowly fading to digital silence)]
