This Fault Line's Got a System
(Verse 1)
You thought you drew a crater deep and wide
Pushed the tectonic plates of you and I
Left some hairline fractures only I can see
A lasting little monument to your leaving me
Yeah, you were hoping for a beautiful collapse
A perfect ruin buried in the past
But something's different in the chemistry
It's working overtime inside of me
(Pre-Chorus)
There's little engineers inside my veins
Re-routing all the sorrow, blocking all the rains
A microscopic crew with a design
To seal the damage, honey, I'll be fine
(Chorus)
So don't you worry 'bout these little cracks
My biology is filling in the gaps
This fault line's got a system, baby, that's a fact
Running on a blueprint that you can't subtract
It's a bacterial beat that keeps me on the track
This fault line's got a system, ain't no turning back
(Verse 2)
I felt a tremor from a song we knew
Expected something big to just break through
But then a crew went to the fissure, quiet on the scene
Patched it up with something durable and clean
You think I'm faking this composure, think it's just a front
Like I'm pretending in some lonely PR stunt
But baby this is metabolic, slow and strong and true
Building something better in the space I saved from you
(Pre-Chorus)
These little engineers inside my veins
Re-routing all the sorrow, blocking all the rains
This microscopic crew has got a sign
Reads: "Under reconstruction, everything is fine"
(Chorus)
So don't you worry 'bout these little cracks
My biology is filling in the gaps
This fault line's got a system, baby, that's a fact
Running on a blueprint that you can't subtract
It's a bacterial beat that keeps me on the track
This fault line's got a system, ain't no turning back
(Bridge)
Had to draft a brand new patent for my heart
Learned to mix the culture, tear the old plans apart
Now the formula's proprietary, a personal design
What you broke is now rebuilding on its own damn time
Yeah, this foundation settled, and it's built to last
Growing stronger from the damage of the past
(Guitar Solo - Funky, rhythmic, clean tones over the main groove)
(Chorus)
So don't you worry 'bout these little cracks
My biology is filling in the gaps
This fault line's got a system, baby, that's a fact (that's a fact!)
Running on a blueprint that you can't subtract
It's a bacterial beat that keeps me on the track (On the track, baby!)
This fault line's got a system, ain't no turning back
(Outro)
Got a system...
Yeah, it's working...
Mixing in the beat now...
Mending on the concrete...
(Bass and drum groove fade out with a final, plucked bass harmonic)
About The Song
This song translates a cutting-edge scientific development into a potent metaphor for personal strength. Inspired by the news of 'self-healing concrete' that uses bacteria to mend its own fractures, the track reimagines emotional recovery not as a passive period of sadness, but as an active, almost biological process of rebuilding. It channels the confident, laid-back funk-pop groove of artists like Sabrina Carpenter to turn healing into an act of cool, undeniable agency. Instead of being 'broken,' the narrator's emotional foundation has 'a system'—a proprietary, internal crew that methodically patches the damage left by a past relationship. The human theme is a powerful shift in perspective: resilience isn't just about bouncing back; it's about having an inherent, engineered capacity to repair yourself from the inside out.
Production Notes
The track should radiate a cool, biological funk. It's built on a foundation of confidence, not desperation.
Arrangement: The song lives and dies by its groove. The bassline and drums should be front and center, locked in tight from the first beat. A funky, Nile Rodgers-style clean electric guitar provides rhythmic texture, playing staccato chords and short licks. Subtle, warm synth pads (Juno-60 style) should fill the space in the verses and bridge, creating an atmospheric, almost 'internal' feeling without cluttering the mix. The arrangement should feel spacious but purposeful.
Vocals: The lead vocal is key. It should be delivered with a nonchalant confidence, slightly breathy but articulate, reminiscent of Sabrina Carpenter or Dua Lipa. Record with a warm tube mic like a Neumann U 47 run through a tube preamp and a touch of optical compression (like an LA-2A) to smooth out peaks without losing dynamics. Backing vocals in the chorus should be tight, harmonized stacks.
Instrumentation:
• Bass: The star. Use a Fender Precision Bass played with a pick near the bridge for extra attack. It needs to be punchy, clear, and melodic. Record DI and re-amp if necessary for the perfect tone.
• Drums: A live kit with a tight, dry sound. The kick should be punchy, the snare should have a sharp crack. Augment with a subtle LinnDrum or TR-808 clap/snare to reinforce the retro-funk feel.
• Guitars: A Fender Stratocaster in the 2nd or 4th position, played directly into the console. The performance should be purely rhythmic, adding syncopation and sparkle.
Mix: The bass is the center of gravity. Vocals sit confidently on top. Automate a subtle low-pass filter on the entire mix during the intro to make the first verse hit harder. During the bridge, maybe pull some of the high-end off the drums to create intimacy before bringing it all back for the final explosive chorus.
