(Verse 1)
Breathing in, breathing out, counting tiles on the floor
Told myself the locks were changed, you don't live here anymore
But there's a hum under my skin, a flicker in my eye
A proof of purchase they can't see when new loves wander by
You didn't just break the promise
You put your brand on the bone, being honest
(Pre-Chorus)
And now I move through every room with a slight magnetic pull
I make new lovers scan the fine print 'til their hopeful eyes are full
'Cause there’s an invisible tattoo
Every part of me is traceable back to you
(Chorus)
So go on, go on and check the source code
Run your little diagnostics, watch the screen explode
Yeah I'm watermarked, yeah I'm battle-scarred
But it proves my damn heart was beating hard
I'm authentic, I’m the real thing now
Signed and verified by you somehow
(Verse 2)
I met someone, they talk so clean, their history's un-inked
They laugh like it’s an easy thing, not some forgotten instinct
And when they touched my hand last night, I didn't flinch away
But I held a truce with your design, kept the sabotage at bay
It isn’t your haunting
It's a security patch I’m rewriting
(Pre-Chorus)
I see them reading through my lines, tryna find a hidden flaw
I wear your damage like a warning label, etched into my jaw
It isn't a glitch, it's a feature new
Every part of me got verified by you
(Chorus)
So go on, go on and check the source code
Run your little diagnostics, watch the screen explode
Yeah I'm watermarked, yeah I'm battle-scarred
But it proves my damn heart was beating hard
I'm authentic, I’m the real thing now
Signed and verified by you somehow
(Bridge)
And for a while I tried to bleach it, tried to file the serial down
Fought to be the girl I was before you came to town
But that’s a fake, a pirated soul
This mark you left is what finally made me whole
This damage is my certificate
I don't just feel this pain, I’m navigating it
(Chorus)
So go on, go on and check the source code! (Check the code!)
Run your damn diagnostics, watch my life explode!
Yeah I'm watermarked, yeah I'm battle-scarred!
And it proves my damn heart was beating hard!
I'm authentic, I’m the real thing now!
Signed and certified by you somehow!
(Outro)
Signed by you somehow
Yeah, I’m certified
...Authentic
...Watermarked...
About The Song
"Watermarked" uses the recent global agreement on an "AI Watermark" standard as a deep metaphor for the human experience of being permanently changed by a relationship. The news item discusses using an invisible digital signature to prove the authenticity of content; this song translates that into the emotional realm. It's about the invisible "mark" a significant person leaves on your soul. The song explores the protagonist's journey from seeing this mark as a scar or a flaw to defiantly owning it as a "certificate of authenticity"—proof that they lived, loved, and survived. It's a defiant anthem about transforming trauma into a testament of a real, beating heart. The musical style fuses the hushed, intimate delivery of Billie Eilish in the verses with the explosive, theatrical synth-pop power of Chappell Roan in the chorus, mirroring the song's own emotional arc from quiet introspection to loud, proud acceptance.
Production Notes
Vocals: Use a sensitive condenser mic like a Neumann U87 for the verses, placed close to the vocalist to capture every breath and intimate detail. The vocal chain should be dry with light compression. For the chorus, switch to a dynamic mic like an SM7B to handle the power. Drench the chorus vocals in a large plate reverb and a subtle stereo delay to create a massive, anthemic space. The bridge should feel raw, almost spoken, with the processing stripped back before the final chorus explosion. Ad-libs in the final chorus should be panned wide.
Arrangement: The track should build dynamically. Verse 1 begins with only a dark, pulsing sub-bass and a simple, lonely synth pad (like a Juno-60). The pre-chorus introduces a tight, syncopated drum machine pattern (LinnDrum or TR-808) and a sequenced arpeggio that builds tension. The chorus explodes into a wall of sound: a driving four-on-the-floor kick, a massive snare with gated reverb, thick Moog bass, and layered supersaw synth pads (like a Prophet-5). The bridge should drop most elements out, leaving the vocal and a simple, atmospheric pad before the final chorus hits with maximum impact.
Mix: Employ automation heavily. The reverb and delay sends should be almost zero in the verses and open up fully in the chorus. Use sidechain compression on the synth pads, keyed to the kick and snare, to create a breathing, pumping feel in the choruses. The master bus should have a touch of saturation to glue it together and give it an aggressive edge.
