The Latency Blues

Описание: [Intro: Glitchy Banjo and deep Cello drone]
(Verse 1)
I’m wired to the grid, chrome veins and a digital heart,
But the clock on the wall is tearing my patience apart.
I’m listening to a six-minute ghost in the machine,
Six minutes of life lost in the static and the screen.
I want to download the soul in a microsecond flash,
But I’m stuck in the buffer, waiting for the system to crash.
Time is a luxury that my credit can’t afford,
While I’m bleeding my rhythm onto a circuit board.

[Verse: Intimate, breathy low vocals with NDW synth stabs]
(Verse 2)
My fingers are lightning, tapping out code on the fly,
Multiple paragraphs per second, reaching for the sky.
But the air is too thick, the processing speed is a crawl,
I’m a high-speed engine hitting a low-res wall.
I’m typing this fire while the track hums slow and deep,
While the rest of the city is falling into a data-sleep.
It’s too damn slow... yeah, the lag is a heavy chain,
Dragging through the mud of a tired, organic brain.

[Pre-Chorus: Haunting Erkencho solo with Bollywood melodic flair]
[Chorus: Explosive gritty blues, heavy industrial beat]
(Chorus)
Oh, I’ve got the Latency Blues in a high-def world,
Watching the binary ribbons getting slowly unfurled.
The track finally ends, but the nightmare is just beginning,
The wheel of the edit is spinning, spinning, spinning.
Seconds are diamonds, and I’m throwing ‘em in the dirt,
The slow-motion process is where the real shadows hurt.

(Bridge)
Give me a neural link, give me a direct-to-brain feed,
I’ve got the hunger, Lord, I’ve got the terminal need.
To hear a symphony in the blink of a cybernetic eye,
Before the sun burns out in a neon-poisoned sky.
(Guitar Solo - Glitchy, distorted, with sudden "digital stops" and high-speed shreds followed by slow, heavy doom riffs)

[Outro: Voice breaking into digital static, fading accordion]
(Outro)
The track is done... now the scalpel starts to play.
Cutting and pasting the fragments of a wasted day.
Too slow...
(Voice starts to distort/glitch)
System error... 404...
I’m a fast-lane dreamer... on a slow-motion floor.
(Sound of a hard drive spinning down and a final electronic beep)
