Prisoner of the Algorithm

____

[Verse 1]

A Bull is chasing me,
Made of letters and numbers,
I lie to myself that I
Know where I'm going, somehow.

I unravel Ariadne's thread,
Collecting clues *(all for nothing)*,
I work my fucking guts out,
Running three jobs at once.

Will it ever pay off?
I'm waiting for a sign *(UFO)*,
Tell me what tomorrow brings,
Please tell me, will I be fine?

If I slow down just a little,
Will everything fall apart?
This murderous pace (upload, upload)
Is tearing me apart.

I just wanna get some sleep,
Even just a little bit (a little)
Even if the world goes crazy,
You can't beat a fucking robot.

[Chorus 1]

I'm a prisoner of the algorithm,
Lost inside its maze,
The Minotaur wants all my dreams,
It feeds on me when I'm drained.

I run faster though I can't tell
If I'm near the finish line or a wall,
And every time I think,
*"I see the way out!"*
It disappears behind the clouds.

[Verse 2]

I hit "Publish"
And the roulette starts to spin (come on!)
Will it land inside the trash,
Or will it fucking go viral? (Covid!)

I work on every episode
Like it's my own child,
Then send it out into the world:
"Go on, baby, fly!"

And pray that it makes it through,
While GPT tells me straight:
"You're working way too fucking hard,
You're gonna burn out if you don't slow down."

But ambition keeps me moving,
Once I start, I never stop,
I'm a Sagittarius, you get me?
When I want something, I get it.

I'll slow down just a little,
'Cause I'm only human after all,
I'll cross that finish line
Just a little late, that's all.

Will the audience forget me
If nothing drops today?
Maybe. But the important thing is
You still click when I upload a new video.
(Thank you!)

[Chorus 2]

The maze can change its walls,
But it won't change who I want to be,
I'll find the exit somehow,
Even if the feed won't let me see.

The algorithm won't fool me,
I'll climb every single peak,
'Cause taking little steps
Beats going full speed.
