Building My Own Protocol
(Verse 1)
The fluorescent hum was the only sound I heard
I measured my worth in every single word
You laid out the grid, I stayed inside the lines
I ran the diagnostics and ignored the warning signs
I policed my own perimeter, built the fence up high
Just another terminal beneath a server sky.
(Pre-Chorus)
But the connection's lagging, there's a fatal flaw
In the logic gate of your unbreakable law
Saw the packet loss, the corruption in the code
Felt the weight of a system about to overload.
(Chorus)
So I cut the cable, killed the master line
Your sovereign state was never really mine
Now the signals scream in the open air and I'm afraid
But I’m building my own protocol from the mess I made
Yeah, I'm building my own protocol, I won't be delayed.
(Verse 2)
The first night was silent, terrifying and new
No centralized commands on what I'm supposed to do
Now I chart the static, learn to read the noise
Find a different rhythm, amplify my voice
Every link is peer-to-peer, a handshake and a trust
Forged in independence, rising from the rust.
(Pre-Chorus)
'Cause the connection's lagging, there's a fatal flaw
In the logic gate of your unbreakable law
Saw the packet loss, the corruption in the code
Felt the weight of a system about to overload.
(Chorus)
So I cut the cable, killed the master line
Your sovereign state was never really mine
Now the signals scream in the open air and I'm afraid
But I’m building my own protocol from the mess I made
Yeah, I'm building my own protocol, I won't be delayed.
(Bridge)
Does the old network miss me? Does it even know I'm gone?
Just an empty workstation, a light that isn't on.
Maybe it was safer, living in the shade
But a calculated safety is a cage I gladly trade.
Yeah, a cage I gladly trade... for the chance to be remade.
(Chorus)
So I cut the cable, killed the master line!
Your sovereign state was never really mine!
Let the signals scream in the open air, who cares if I'm afraid?!
I am building my own protocol from the mess I made!
Yeah, I'm building my own protocol, and I can’t be swayed!
(Outro)
A new connection… found.
(Synth arpeggio swells)
Routing a new path… now.
(Drums get more complex, driving beat)
System online.
(Final synth chord and a clean cutoff)
About The Song
This piece uses the tech-world concepts of centralized vs. decentralized networks as a powerful metaphor for personal liberation. Inspired by news of the "Great Resignation"—where countless individuals are leaving rigid corporate structures for the autonomy of independent work—the song reframes this professional exodus as an intensely personal breakup. The "centralized server" is a controlling partner or a toxic system, and the act of "building my own protocol" is the terrifying but exhilarating process of forging a new identity. It's about severing ties with a system that demands conformity and instead creating a resilient, self-directed life built on a new set of rules and authentic connections, just like a modern mesh network. The core theme is the `Active Agency` required to not just leave a bad situation, but to consciously build a better one from the ground up.
Production Notes
The track demands a driving Synth-Pop/Indie Rock feel. The lead vocal must be raw and passionate, almost shouted in the choruses, captured with a Shure SM7B for warmth and focus. The vocal chain should feature aggressive 1176-style compression, Pultec EQ for air, and strategic slapback delay with large plate reverb throws. The arrangement is built on a relentless Moog-style bass synth, a hybrid TR-808/live snare drum pattern, and Juno-106 pads. The key element is a gritty, fuzzed-out Telecaster guitar that crashes into the choruses, adding rock energy. The mix should exploit dynamics: contained, almost mono verses exploding into a wide stereo chorus to mirror the song's theme of liberation and release.
