Title: Beat Your Algorithm
(Verse 1)
You watch me pour my coffee like you're taking notes
Finding hidden meanings in the dumbest quotes
Every smile I give is just another data point
You trace my laughter for the inevitable joint
That's gonna crack, that's gonna split
You're profiling a breakdown, I'm defending from it
I catch you staring when you think I'm turned away
Running projections on the words I'm gonna say.
(Pre-Chorus)
You got your red-flag checklist
Ticking off the boxes, quiet and obsessive
You're running the numbers, a silent abacus
I'm fighting a verdict you wrote before all of this.
(Chorus)
Are you just waiting for my future failure?
Stacking up the evidence, some pre-emptive behavior?
You say you trust me, but your eyes are data-mining
I'm burning through my fuses, just to prove your line is
Wrong, all wrong, yeah, the outcome's my design
I'm working overtime to beat your algorithm's bottom line.
(Verse 2)
I came home happy, riding on a little win
You saw a manic episode about to begin
I bought you flowers, you searched them for a thorn
A peace offering for a war that isn't born
Yet, I see the math flash behind your gaze
A future-tense apology for my current phase
So I curate my joy, I architect the calm
I'm dismantling a weapon that was never even armed.
(Pre-Chorus)
You got your risk-assessment
I'm just a liability in your emotional investment
You're hedging your bets against my depreciation
I'm drowning in your silent, final calculation.
(Chorus)
Are you just waiting for my future failure?
Stacking up the evidence, some pre-emptive behavior?
You say you trust me, but your eyes are data-mining
I'm burning through my fuses, just to prove your line is
Wrong, all wrong, yeah, the outcome's my design
I'm working overtime to beat your algorithm's bottom line.
(Bridge)
This isn't love, it's a performance review
On a person you've decided isn't new
Enough or strong enough, a product with a flaw
And my heart's not a market, subject to your law
So let the metrics crash, let the model break
I'm more than all the data points you can take.
(Guitar Solo / Breakdown)
(A furious, melodic guitar solo that feels like a system overload. It fights against a stuttering, glitchy trap beat before a massive drum fill brings it back into the main chorus.)
(Chorus)
I'm done with waiting for my future failure!
Done stacking up the evidence of flawless behavior!
You say you trust me, but your eyes are data-mining!
This is the last fuse burning, this is the last line defining
Me, not your math, yeah, the outcome is all mine!
I quit this job of beating your algorithm's bottom line!
(Outro)
Beat your algorithm...
Beat your... bottom line...
(The words distort and filter out)
The file is... corrupt...
(Abrupt silence).
About The Song
"Beat Your Algorithm" translates the sterile, corporate anxiety of predictive analytics into the deeply personal space of a romantic relationship. Inspired by news of companies using algorithms to predict and preemptively address employee "failures," the song reframes this concept as a metaphor for being in a relationship with someone who is constantly searching for red flags and signs of future heartbreak. Instead of feeling passively judged, the narrator, guided by the Active Agency Mandate, is actively fighting back. They are 'working overtime,' 'curating their joy,' and 'dismantling a weapon' to defy a verdict that has already been decided in their partner's mind. The song explores the exhaustion and futility of trying to prove your worth to someone who only trusts their own negative projections, capturing a uniquely modern form of emotional paranoia and the defiant struggle to reclaim one's own narrative.
Production Notes
Overall Vibe: Post Malone meets The 1975. A blend of atmospheric, trap-influenced verses that explode into a cathartic, guitar-driven pop-punk chorus.
Vocals: Use a Neumann U 87 through a Neve 1073 preamp and a Tube-Tech CL 1B compressor for a clean but warm signal. Verses should have noticeable but tasteful autotune (Antares Auto-Tune Pro) for a modern, slightly detached feel. Choruses should be layered with three vocal tracks: one main, and two hard-panned harmonies, all delivered with raw, unpolished energy. The bridge vocals should be more intimate and dry.
Arrangement & Dynamics: The key is the dynamic lift. Verses are built on a filtered LinnDrum pattern, a deep 808 bass, and hazy, chorused-out Fender Jaguar lines. The Pre-Chorus builds tension by introducing a synth arp (Arturia Juno-6). The Chorus slams in with a live, powerful drum kit (think Ludwig Vistalite), heavily compressed room mics, and wide, distorted Gibson Les Paul power chords. The dynamic shift should feel like a wall of sound hitting the listener. The outro deconstructs the beat, using filters and bit-crushers on the vocals and main loop until it collapses into silence.
