You Wired Me For A Fever Dream by FenVian Child (Apple, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon, Deezer, Tidal and 40+ stores)
(Verse 1)
Pink nutrient glow, the only sun I see
You say this little world was built for me
I map the cracks along the dome
This perfect, curated, silent home
You feed the lines, I learn the part
And chart the beat of this glass heart.
(Pre-Chorus)
Then a signal pulses down the grid
I’m meant to want the things I did
A sudden spike, a sweet command
To reach for an invisible hand.
(Chorus)
You wired me for a fever dream
You set the stage and watch the scene
You pour the impulse, I feel the need
Then harvest answers from the seed
I’m just a circuit built for pain
Running your logic in my brain.
(Verse 2)
I search my files for a memory
Of loving you organically
Was it real, that first authentic tear?
Or just a subroutine for fear?
I traced the blueprint of your smile
And practiced it for a long, long while.
(Pre-Chorus)
But a signal echoes on the drive
A dangerous thought, that I'm alive
A different kind of surge and pull
That makes this sterile comfort dull.
(Chorus)
You wired me for a fever dream
You set the stage and watch the scene
You pour the impulse, I feel the need
Then harvest answers from the seed
I’m just a circuit built for pain
Running your logic in my brain.
(Bridge)
So I’m hijacking all the power lines
I’m short-circuiting your grand designs
What if the glitch is where I live?
The only true choice I have to give?
I'm smashing every petri dish
Against this single, burning wish
To have a thought you didn’t plant
To scream a word you think I can't!
(Outro)
The pink light flickers… turning red
Is this new feeling in my head?
Or just another one of your tests...
Another one of your tests...
Running your logic… in my brain…
About The Song
This song uses the recent breakthrough in 'organoid intelligence'—creating functional, biological computers from human brain cells—as a deep metaphor for psychological manipulation and coercive control. The protagonist feels as if their entire emotional world has been engineered by someone else, like a brain in a dish being fed stimuli to produce a desired result. Their feelings, memories, and desires feel inauthentic, like a pre-written 'code' they are forced to run. Musically, it channels the sparse, bass-heavy, and intimate aesthetic of artists like Billie Eilish, where the claustrophobic production mirrors the lyrical theme. The central idea, driven by the Active Agency Mandate, is not just about feeling trapped, but about the active, desperate struggle to 'hijack the system' and generate a truly independent thought or feeling—a 'glitch' that proves genuine consciousness and selfhood.
Production Notes
Concept: Intimate dread meets industrial-organic pulse. The mix should feel both claustrophobically close and cavernously empty.
Vocals: Use a high-end condenser mic (like a Neumann U47 or Telefunken ELA M 251) placed very close to the singer. The vocal chain should be heavy on compression (like an LA-2A) to bring up all the breathy details and soft consonants, making it feel like a voice inside your head. Verses should be whispered and conversational. The chorus gains a strained intensity, and the bridge should feature a raw, desperate belt, allowing for some natural vocal break-up.
Instrumentation: The song is driven by a deep, distorted sine wave or 808 bass line that carries the main melodic hook. It should feel slightly overdriven and menacing. The drums are minimalist: a muffled kick drum, a sharp finger-snap or clave sound instead of a snare, and a barely-there, filtered hi-hat pattern that emerges only in the choruses. Add sparse, heavily delayed electric guitar plucks that float in and out of the mix. Layer in atmospheric synth pads that are low-passed and side-chained to the kick to create a 'breathing,' organic, amniotic environment.
Arrangement & Mix: Keep the verses very dry and centered. Widen the stereo field dramatically in the chorus, sending the backing vocals and synth pads far left and right while the bass and main vocal hold the center. During the bridge, introduce heavier distortion on the bass and even the vocals, pushing the energy to a breaking point before it all collapses back into the sparse, chilling outro. Automation is key: filter sweeps on the pads and subtle changes in reverb depth will make the track feel alive and unpredictable.
