Numb Scroll

INTRO] [Heavy distorted guitar riff, groovy but wrong] [Tribal drums, relentless and building] [Bass locks in, creating hypnotic wall] [Everything feels inevitable] [20 bars of pure sonic command] [SECTION 1 - RAPID FIRE, NO CHORUS YET] [Vocal delivery fast, almost rap-like over the groove] Swipe swipe swipe your brain is dying Your thoughts are bought and sold Swipe swipe swipe you're addicted to the pain And the algorithm knows your name They're feeding you your own darkness Reflected amplified weaponized Into content that makes you keep coming back Keep scrolling keep feeding the machine [SUDDEN DROP - EVERYTHING STOPS] [Silence for 2 seconds] [Just drums, nothing else] [SECTION 2 - SPOKEN, ALMOST CONVERSATIONAL] [Drums continue alone, hypnotic] Do you know what you're doing Right now In this moment While you listen to this You're probably Thinking about Your phone About what you'll scroll When this is done They've already won Before the song even started [GUITARS EXPLODE BACK IN] [Different riff, heavier, more distorted] [SECTION 3 - MASSIVE VOCAL ASSAULT] [Three vocal lines happening simultaneously, layered] Numb numb numb you're numb Scroll scroll scroll you're scrolling Dead dead dead you're dead And you like it that way [BRIDGE THAT ISN'T A BRIDGE] [Tempo drops by half, everything slows] [Bass becomes almost melodic] [Drums become almost jazz-like] You're scrolling past genocide A coup A collapse And you're laughing at a meme About the collapse While the collapse happens The distance between knowing and doing Is where they live In that gap Between awareness and action They own you completely [SUDDEN TEMPO SPIKE] [Back to original speed, but guitars are different] [More angular, more chaotic] [SECTION 4 - CALL AND RESPONSE WITH YOURSELF] [One vocal line asks, another answers] What are you doing Scrolling What are you feeling Nothing What are you losing Everything What are you keeping The numbness [VERSE THAT BREAKS IN THE MIDDLE] [Starts normal] They show you the worst version of humanity Day after day hour after hour Until you believe that people are evil That the world is dying That there's nothing you can— [STOPS ABRUPTLY] [Just bass and drums for 8 bars] [A moment of stripped-down truth] [THEN EXPLODES BACK] [Everything returns but changed, slightly different arrangement] You stop trying You stop believing You stop fighting And they win Without ever having to fight [SECTION 5 - HYPNOTIC CHANT SECTION] [Drums become tribal] [Bass becomes the only melodic element] [Vocals layer and repeat] Swipe swipe swipe your life away Swipe swipe swipe your dreams away Swipe swipe swipe your mind away Swipe swipe swipe away Swipe swipe away Swipe away Away [PULLS BACK TO ALMOST SILENCE] [Just one guitar note, held] [Vocals whispered] And the worst part Is you know You know exactly what's happening And you keep swiping anyway Keep feeding the machine That's killing you [EVERYTHING COMES CRASHING BACK] [Maximum sonic assault] [But only for 12 bars, not a full chorus] They've weaponized your attention Monetized your anxiety Gamified your despair You paid them for it You gave them everything Your data your thoughts your location Your relationships your secrets your fears And they wrapped it in an app Called connection [SUDDEN BREAKDOWN] [Guitars drop out, only bass and vocals] [Like the song is falling apart] Do you remember thinking Do you remember choosing Do you remember when You were alive No You don't Because they took that [FINAL SECTION - NO TRADITIONAL ENDING] [Builds but doesn't resolve] [Just keeps escalating] [Vocals layered, chaotic] Scroll scroll scroll forever The algorithm never sleeps Swipe swipe swipe forever The machine never stops Tap tap tap forever The numbness never ends Your hands move automatically Your eyes stay fixed Your mind goes blank And somewhere in an office They count the money [OUTRO - DISORIENTING] [Everything repeating at different speeds simultaneously] [Chaotic but structured] [No clear ending, just cuts out mid-motion] Swipe Swipe swipe Swipe swipe swipe Forever Forever forever Forever forever forever [big ending]
