// Lyrics //
Woke up falling through an empty sky
No time to wonder, no time to ask why
Just me and the grass and a cold corporate grin
Ficsit dropped me here, now the work begins
First swing of the Zapper, first hostile down
First miner humming on that iron ground
One plate, then ten, then a hundred more
I can't remember what I'm building for
Purple flowers begging me to stop
I paved them over for a machine shop

Scribbling numbers on a napkin at 3 AM
Sixty screws per minute, do the math again
Coal's burning dirty but it gets the job done
Haven't seen my bed since Update One
Ficsit never asks how you're holding up
They just want the goods and they can't get enough
Clock's ticking, Pioneer, move your feet
The milestone won't unlock itself, so don't sleep

It's the Satisfactory Syndrome, it's under my skin
Every time I try to quit, the factory pulls me in
From the copper wire to the caterium glow
I keep saying "one more hour" but I never go
Oh, I swore I'd fix the spaghetti this time
But the belts keep crossing and I'm losing my mind
There's a space elevator climbing through the night
And I can't look away from that beautiful light

Built a railroad to the edge of the map
Took me fourteen hours, didn't stop for a nap
Went down in the caves where the Stingers hide
Almost died twice but I got my sulfur ride
Hypertubes connect what the trains can't reach
From the northern forest to the oil slick beach
I used to love the stars, I used to watch them spin
Now I just watch my inventory fill and empty again
Coffee ran out somewhere around Phase Three
But the Awesome Sink keeps giving stuff to me
Built a golden statue, put it on a hill
The real me's been missing but the factory's real

Manifolds splitting like veins through the floor
Uranium glowing behind a lead door
Tore down the whole thing, rebuilt it twice
Ninety eight percent isn't good, it's not nice
Ficsit keeps promising an end to the grind
But every new phase leaves the last one behind
"Employee of the Planet"—that's the carrot on the stick
I'm just a cog in the machine and the machine makes me sick

It's the Satisfactory Syndrome, it's under my skin
Every time I try to quit, the factory pulls me in
From the copper wire to the caterium glow
I keep saying "one more hour" but I never go
Oh, I swore I'd fix the spaghetti this time
But the belts keep crossing and I'm losing my mind
There's a space elevator climbing through the night
And I can't look away from that beautiful light

Sometimes I climb the tower just to breathe
Watch the packages go up and try to believe
That it means something, aluminum and steel
Floating to the stars like a prayer I can't feel
We bulldozed the valley, drained the waterfall dry
Put a coal plant where the butterflies used to fly
Even the Doggos don't come around anymore
I think they know what all this building is for

BUT HEY, THE LIGHTS ARE ON
THE GRID IS HOLDING STRONG
THE RATIOS ARE PERFECT
AND NOTHING'S GOING WRONG
WE DIDN'T COME TO FEEL THINGS
WE CAME TO BUILD AND GROW
SO CRANK THE TURBOFUEL UP
WE'VE GOT NOWHERE ELSE TO GO

It's the Satisfactory Syndrome, it's inside my head
I dream in conveyor belts when I finally get to bed
From the first iron ingot to the nuclear core
I gave it everything and it still wanted more
Oh, the spaghetti's gone now, every line runs straight
But I don't feel the victory, I just feel the weight
There's a space elevator glowing in the dark
And somewhere underneath it all... I lost the spark

Just... one more node
One more floor
One more fix and then I'll
Save and quit to desktop?
Nah. One more hour.
