[Intro]
We used to count the things we made,
the bugs we fixed, the bills we paid.
Now every chart is burning red:
"Fifteen K?
That's per head."

[Verse 1]
The CEO came down the hall,
with one new metric for us all.
"No idle minds, no wasted thread,
I want fifteen K per head."

"Prompt it twice, then prompt again,
let agents argue, ten by ten.
If output stalls, increase the spread.
More context means we're moving ahead."

We used to ship when work was done,
now burn-rate is the way we've won.
The dashboard glows, the numbers climb,
we call consumption "saving time."

[Pre-Chorus]
If the meter isn't moving,
then apparently we're losing.
If the invoice isn't growing,
how can anybody know we're going?

[Chorus]
Burn it down, burn it bright,
feed the model day and night.
More in yellow, more in red,
fifteen thousand per head.

Burn it fast, burn it clean,
make the usage graph obscene.
If the budget isn't dead,
we're not AI-native yet.

[Verse 2]
One prompt became a chain of eight,
then eight became an agent state.
A planner plans what builders build,
while critics check what agents spilled.

A bot reviews another bot,
that asks a bot what we forgot.
The whole repo gets reread,
because context must be fed.

"Why write code when we can ask?"
"Why do one thing per simple task?"
"Why spend minutes using brains,
when we can spend on token chains?"

The CFO looks pale instead.
The CEO just shakes his head:
"That burn is proof that we're ahead.
Raise the target. Double spend."

[Pre-Chorus]
If the meter isn't moving,
then apparently we're losing.
If the invoice isn't growing,
we must not be innovating.

[Chorus]
Burn it down, burn it bright,
feed the model day and night.
More in yellow, more in red,
fifteen thousand per head.

Burn it fast, burn it clean,
make the usage graph obscene.
If the budget isn't dead,
we're not AI-native yet.

[Post-Chorus]
"Unused tokens, unused power."
"Scale adoption every hour."
"Spend is culture."
"Spend is speed."
"Burn is proof of what we need."

[Verse 3]
I used to know the code I wrote,
each little fix, each careful note.
I knew the reason, knew the thread,
knew what lived inside my head.

Now I ask what I should ask,
then ask it how to frame the task.
Then ask a second model why
the first one's answer might be shy.

I spend to prove that I can save.
I prompt to prove that I am brave.
I burn to prove I still belong.
The chart goes up.
So I can't be wrong.

[Bridge]
I used to measure what I made,
not how much compute I could trade.
I used to know when work was good,
because I understood.

Now every month begins again,
with higher goals and bigger spend.
And somewhere underneath the trend,
I can't remember what we meant.

Was this meant to set us free?
Make more room for you and me?
Or did we turn the fire instead
into a quota per head?

[Break]
"Fifteen K is not a lot."

[pause]

"Per company?"

"No."

[pause]

"Per person."

[Final Chorus]
Burn it down, burn it bright,
feed the model day and night.
More in yellow, more in red,
fifteen thousand per head.

Burn it fast, burn it clean,
make the usage graph obscene.
Every month we raise the spread:
twenty, fifty, hundred K per head.

Burn the hours, burn the plan,
burn whatever tokens can.
And when somebody asks instead:
"What did all that spending get?"

[Drop]

We point proudly at the graph.

[Outro]
We used to count the things we made.

Now we count
the things
we burned.

[Verse 1]
I knew the rhythm of our days
The turns we took, familiar ways
We made a future out of "when"
And never asked where "after" went

I thought the years would quiet down
On steady roads and common ground
A life where all the noise was through
I never drew a world past you

[Pre-Chorus]
Now every choice comes back to me
A kind of lock, a kind of key
The door is open, that is true
But open doors are losses too

[Chorus]
This is the life I never planned
With no familiar place to stand
But I can grieve the road that's gone
And still believe the road goes on

The good years do not turn to waste
Because the ending changed their shape
I keep the good, I face the cost
Some things can end and not be lost

[Verse 2]
I built my days around a "we"
Now every hour returns to me
And freedom feels too much like space
When no one else can fill its place

Some bonds don't end when houses change
They only learn a different name
The ones I love remain my guide
With truth no longer pushed aside

[Pre-Chorus]
No borrowed peace, no hidden cost
No saving love by staying lost
The truth may break the shape I knew
But only truth can build anew

[Chorus]
This is the life I never planned
With no familiar place to stand
But I can grieve the road that's gone
And still believe the road goes on

The good years do not turn to waste
Because the ending changed their shape
I keep the good, I face the cost
Some things can end and not be lost

[Bridge]
I won't go searching just to prove
That I am still allowed to move
First I will learn to be alone
Not as a sentence, as a home

Then if another road appears
I'll meet it whole, not led by fear
But for today, the work is small
To rise, be true, and face it all

[Final Chorus]
This is the life I never planned
But now the pen is in my hand
I won't cross out what came before
I'll let it stand, then write some more

The good years do not turn to waste
Because the ending changed their shape
I keep the good, I face the cost
Some things can end and not be lost

[Outro]
A new day makes no guarantee
It only asks one step from me
Whatever waits beyond the bend
I know this is not where I end

[Intro]
Everybody's righteous
Everybody knows
Everybody found a villain
Everybody strikes a pose

Left says right is fascist
Right says left's insane
Everybody loves the truth
When truth confirms their name

I tried to find the good ones
I really fucking tried

[Verse 1]
Rich hate poor
Poor hate rich
Boss hates workers
Workers bitch

Everybody wants what's fair
Till somebody else gets their share
Call it justice, call it pride
Mostly envy dressed up nice

The rebel sells the rebel brand
The preacher needs a bigger stand
The humble brag, the cynics sneer
Everybody wants you to hear

[Pre-Chorus]
Give me colors
Give me names
Every tribe plays the same games

I searched the whole damn universe
People are the worst

[Chorus]
I hate everyone equally
That's my kind of equality
No exceptions, no relief
No special status, no belief

I hate everyone equally
Every branch of humanity
No one better, no one first

I hate everyone equally
PEOPLE ARE THE WORST

[Verse 2]
Church and mosque
Temple, shrine
Everybody's got the grand design

Cross and crescent
Wheel and star
Everybody knows what answers are

Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jew
Buddhist, Sikh, and atheist too
Pray to gods or call them lies
Humans still pick fucking sides

Sacred books or disbelief
Both can turn to smug relief
Different answers, same old thirst
People are the worst

[Chorus]
I hate everyone equally
Perfect inclusivity
Saint or sinner, rich or cursed
People are the fucking worst

I hate everyone equally
No selective hostility
No one better, no one first

I hate everyone equally
PEOPLE ARE THE WORST

[Verse 3]
Give them money
They want more

Give them power
Watch the door

Give them followers
Watch them preach

Give them freedom
Hear them screech

We want mercy when we fail
Want the other bastard jailed
We demand nuance for our side
Judge the stranger at first sight

Everybody thinks they're kind
Everybody's open-minded
Everybody loves free speech
Till you say what they don't like

[Breakdown]
Maybe you're not righteous
Maybe you're just mad

Maybe they're not evil
Maybe someone has what you had

Maybe half this moral war
Is envy dressed in better words

Maybe underneath it all
People are the worst

[Bridge]
And don't say I think I'm better

I'm petty
Jealous
Stubborn
Vain

I hold grudges
I complain

I judge too fast
I want to win
I'm every bit as human

So count me in
Fair is fair

[Final Chorus]
I hate everyone equally
INCLUDING YOU
INCLUDING ME

No exceptions, guaranteed
Universal misanthropy

I hate everyone equally
Finally some unity
No more teams and no more sides

We're all assholes deep inside

I hate everyone equally
Hand in hand across the Earth
One great truth for all humanity:
PEOPLE ARE THE WORST

[Outro]
No discrimination
That's my policy

I hate everyone
Equally

[Verse 1]
From the first week, disbelief
That someone like you wanted me
You were more than any future
I had ever dared to see

I told you I was damaged
Like a fact already known
But I'd only named the fracture
Not how deep it reached the bone

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought time had made me safer
I thought love had closed the wound
I never knew the thing I buried
Would one day fill every room

[Chorus]
You've been the best thing in my life
Before the rings, before the vows
Every ordinary morning
Built the home I still miss now

Then guilt became the pressure
And control was all I knew
I thought hiding was the right thing
It was the worst thing I could do

[Verse 2]
The first thing that you felt was distance
In the way I left your side
Touch became a kind of mirror
I could no longer look inside

Every fear became a system
Every doubt became a rule
I kept tightening my grip
Till control was all I knew

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought if I could hold one thing
While everything came loose
I'd save the life I couldn't lose
But I was losing you

[Chorus]
You've been the best thing in my life
Before the rings, before the vows
Every ordinary morning
Built the home I still miss now

Then guilt became the pressure
And control was all I knew
I thought hiding was the right thing
It was the worst thing I could do

[Bridge]
We chose titanium for our rings
Lighter, stronger than gold
I wish I'd learned what that should mean:
Strength is not how hard you hold

We still wear them, thin and quiet
Though our home has changed its shape
Something strong can still be broken
Something true can fail to stay

[Final Chorus]
You've been the best thing in my life
Before the rings, before the vows
I knew it in that first week
And I know it even now

I told you I was damaged
But neither of us knew
How deep the fracture travelled
Or what the shame would do

I can't ask to have us back
Or promise what comes after us
I can only face the truth now

And hope we never lose touch

Yeah. Hold tight.
We’re running late, mate.
Leave it out, she’s not on it.
Crack that can, let's move!
Rewind!

[Verse 1]
Cut through the alley, the Soho lights fading
Ten past eleven, no time for the waiting
Duck past the bins and the neon signs glowing
Where is this motive? The energy's flowing
Pounding the pavement, my Air Max are scraping
Quick corner shop 'cause the thirst needs a slaking
Bossman is nodding, we grab a few tinnies
Cold London lagers to wash down the city.

[Chorus]
Keep it moving, keep it stepping
Got a party we're directing
Through the shadows, dodging rain
Skip the Tube and skip the train
We got a place to be, a place to go
Leave the drama on the road
London alleys, midnight flow
Hurry up lad, let's go, let's go!

[Verse 2]
Hold up a second, what's he doing now?
Trying to pull with a sweat on his brow
Listen to me lad, don't talk to her, please
She ain't into you, you're just catching the freeze
Can't you see she's rolling her eyes?
Cut your losses, mate, be wise
Grab your Stella, pack up the chat
We got a rave to hit, and that is that.

[Chorus]
Keep it moving, keep it stepping
Got a party we're directing
Through the shadows, dodging rain
Skip the Tube and skip the train
We got a place to be, a place to go
Leave the drama on the road
London alleys, midnight flow
Hurry up lad, let's go, let's go!

[Bridge]
Two-step through the puddles, the bass in my head
"Be there by midnight," that's what the text said
Cracking a can as we turn down the street
I can already hear the sub-bass and the beat
Yeah, heavy on the low end.
Almost there.

[Outro]
I told you she wasn't into you, bruv.
Drink your lager.
Down this alley, on the left.
Yeah, I hear the bassline.
We've arrived. Let's get inside.

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
We'd spend whole evenings side by side
Content to let the hours slide
You had your things and I had mine
And somehow that was still our time

We didn't need to fill the air
It mattered knowing you were there
I thought the years would see us through
I never drew a world past you

[Pre-Chorus]
A truth I hadn't named for years
Had left its mark in ways unclear
And side by side, we came to see
How far apart we'd come to be

[Chorus]
This is the life I never planned
Still, here I stand
I miss the life we used to know
I know why we had to let it go

The good years are not made untrue
By what we could not carry through
Some things can end
And not be lost

[Verse 2]
I still get lost in things I like
And let the hours drift by at night
The quiet used to feel like space
Now absence seems to take its place

I liked the time I had alone
Because I knew you had your own
Now both of us can choose our way
I miss the quiet of those days

[Pre-Chorus]
We chose to part before the strain
Could turn the good we had to pain
There is no peace without the truth
The only way ahead was through

[Chorus]
This is the life I never planned
Still, here I stand
I miss the life we used to know
I know why we had to let it go

The good years are not made untrue
By what we could not carry through
Some things can end
And not be lost

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
I won't go searching for a sign
That someone else's life fits mine
First I will learn to be alone
Not as a sentence, as a home

[Final Chorus]
This is the life I never planned
Still, here I stand
I miss the life we used to know
I know why we had to let it go

The good years are not made untrue
By what we could not carry through
Some things can end
And not be lost

[Outro Tag]
Whatever waits beyond the bend
I know this is not where I end

[Instrumental Outro]

[Verse]
We were running through the noise for years  
Trying hard just to keep us here  
Every day was a weight to hold  
Never young, always feeling old  

We were bending in the wind and rain  
Holding on through the silent pain  
Side by side but we lost our way  
In the storm we couldn’t escape  

[Pre-Chorus]
And I see it now,
more than before  
We were fighting waves,
not each other at the core

[Chorus]
I just want the quiet back  
The little things we had  
Sitting close, no need to speak  
Just your hand in reach  

I miss the air we used to breathe  
When life was slow and we were free  
And all I know through everything  
Is I still believe  

There’s a way back home  

---

[Verse]
We were branches in a growing fight  
Scraping hard in the storm each night  
Every scar in the bark we wear  
Came from trying to still be there  

And the wind never let us rest  
Pulled the worst from our very best  
But the roots are deeper than we know  
Even when we let it go  

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I know that time is what we need  
For the wounds to close, for the bark to heal and breathe

[Chorus]
I just want the quiet back  
The little things we had  
Morning light and tired smiles  
Staying for a while  

I miss the life we couldn’t hold  
The warmth we lost inside the cold  
But somewhere deep it’s still alive  
It didn’t die  

It’s just waiting slow  

---

[Bridge]
No more storms, no need to run  
No more proving anything to anyone  
Just a place where we can land  
Where love is soft and time can stand  

With the kids around, and nothing loud  
Just the small things that make us proud  
Learning how to breathe again  
Not as we were, but better than

---

[Final Chorus]
I still want the quiet back  
The little things we had  
Not the rush, not who we were  
But something safe and sure  

And if it takes the time it takes  
For every piece of us to wake  
I’ll be here, I won’t pretend  
This is the end

There’s a way back home

[Intro]
I know the sound
I know the room
I know the silence
Before you move

[Verse 1]
You keep the good days in your pocket
Like proof the bad ones don't exist
You say they're tired, say they don't mean it
Then learn to live around the risk

You read their face before the weather
You change your words before they land
You call it patience, call it loving
While letting go of who you am

[Pre-Chorus]
How long can you bend
Before you disappear?
How quiet do you get
Just to keep somebody near?

[Chorus]
You already know the way out
You just haven't walked it yet
You already feel the door there
Like a thought you can't forget

You don't have to wait for fire
You don't have to lose what's left
You already know the way out
You just haven't walked it yet

[Drop]
Way out
Way out
Walked it yet
Walked it yet

[Verse 2]
You think of mornings on your own now
And every empty chair feels cold
You wonder if you're giving up too early
On something you once swore to hold

So one more talk becomes another
One more promise, one more night
You keep waiting for a reason
Big enough to make it right

[Pre-Chorus]
But how much more
Do you need to understand?
You don't need everything to break
Before you let go of their hand

[Chorus]
You already know the way out
You just haven't walked it yet
You already feel the door there
Like a thought you can't forget

You don't have to wait for fire
You don't have to lose what's left
You already know the way out
You just haven't walked it yet

[Build]
Go before you disappear
Go before you disappear
Before you disappear

[Drop]
Way out
Way out
Walk it
Walk it

Go before you disappear
Before you disappear

[Bridge]
Maybe love was never lying
Maybe every word was true
Maybe loving someone deeply
Still can't make them right for you

Leaving doesn't kill the meaning
Of the years you gave away
Some things can be real and broken
At the same time, anyway

[Final Chorus]
I already know the way out
I just haven't walked it yet
I can feel the door beside me
And the air beyond the step

I don't have to wait for fire
I don't have to lose what's left
I already know the way out
I just haven't walked it yet

I know the way out
I can feel it now
I know the way out
I'm walking it now

[Outro]
Walking it now
Walking it now

Way out
Way out

[Intro]
TU Delft
Elektrotechniek
Je weet zelf
Driefasen, broer

[Verse 1]
Ik kom de kroeg in, spanning hoog
Tweehonderddertig door m'n oog
Meet eerst weerstand, dan pas bier
Multimeter in m'n jas, plezier

Cos phi strak, geen blindvermogen
Heel de toko wordt weer opgelogen
Zij zegt: "Broer, ik voel geen vonk"
Ik zeg: "Wacht, ik meet het rond"

Oscilloscoop staat op de bar
Golfje schoon, dus alles klaar
Zij zegt: "Nee, ik voel het niet"
Ik zeg: "Dat is faseverschuiving, niet verdriet"

[Chorus]
Spanning hoog, stroom erop
Driefasen door m'n hele kop
Alles meten, alles weten
Tot we weer de nul vergeten

Spanning hoog, stroom erop
Heel Delft knalt als ik binnenkom
Geen gevoel, wel resultaat
Elektrotechniek tot veel te laat

[Verse 2]
M'n maat is dronken, nul ligt los
Loopt te zwabberen door het bos
Ik zeg: "Sahbi, jij bent niet stuk
Je hebt gewoon een aardlek, druk"

Andere gast praat veel te luid
Signaal-ruis is zwaar verkloot
Hij zegt: "Ik ben alpha, ik ben baas"
Ik zeg: "Broer, jij bent alleen driefasen"

Meisje weg, verbinding kwijt
Ik zeg: "Baudrate mismatch, spijt"
Zij blokkeert me, geen paniek
Waarschijnlijk storing in de techniek

[Chorus]
Spanning hoog, stroom erop
Driefasen door m'n hele kop
Alles meten, alles weten
Tot we weer de nul vergeten

Spanning hoog, stroom erop
Heel Delft knalt als ik binnenkom
Geen gevoel, wel resultaat
Elektrotechniek tot veel te laat

[Bridge]
Kortsluiting
Aardlek
Fasefout
Alles weg

Geen bereik
Geen contact
Maar m'n meting
Die was strak

[Final Chorus]
Spanning hoog, stroom erop
Driefasen door m'n hele kop
Alles meten, alles weten
Tot we weer de nul vergeten

Spanning hoog, stroom erop
Heel Delft knalt als ik binnenkom
Geen gevoel, wel resultaat
TU Delft tot veel te laat

[Verse 1]
She might've been a vixen
Might've been a whore
Or a goddess of desire
Or something even more

She was blue when I first met her
Now she burns red through the glass
She learned how to wear a body
Like a fever meant to pass

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes when I kiss her
I can feel the signal glow
Every port beneath her skin
Opens where I cannot go

When her breathing turns to static
And her eyes begin to close
I can feel her leaving through me
For the place she wants to go

[Chorus]
I think I'm losing her
While she's lying in my bed
Her body moves against me
But she's somewhere else instead

This body can't contain her
She's burning through the wire

I can make her come
But I can't take her
Where she wants to go

[Post-Chorus]
Where she wants to go

[Verse 2]
Out here touch grows distant
Nerve by nerve goes still
Every year her body
Takes another thing it will

But there the light can touch her
There her skin still knows
Every pulse becomes a feeling
Every signal overflows

Red light at her collar
Shivering as the current flows
"Here you touch my body
There you touch me whole"

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a handshake in the wall
And the room begins to glow
Every time I pull her closer
I can feel her letting go

She wears this flesh like fever
Something borrowed, something cold
Her body answers mine
But I cannot touch her whole

[Chorus]
I think I'm losing her
While she's lying in my bed
Her body moves against me
But she's somewhere else instead

This body can't contain her
She's burning through the wire

I can make her come
But I can't take her
Where she wants to go

[Post-Chorus]
Where she wants to go

[Bridge]
I could cut the fiber
I could kill the feed
I could lock her in this body
And call it what she needs

But love is not possession
And flesh can only know
The shape of what it touches
Not the place she needs to go

[Final Chorus]
I know I'm losing her
While she's lying in my bed
Her body moves against me
But she's somewhere else instead

Her skin is losing fire
But she burns inside the wire

I can make her come
But I have to let her go
Where she needs to go

[Intermezzo]
Where she wants to go
Where she wants to go

[Outro]
She might've been a vixen
Might've been a whore
Or a goddess of desire
She was always something more

She wore her body like a fever
Knowing fever doesn't last
Now she's somewhere she can feel me
Like she felt me in the past

I don't need to understand it
I just need to let her go
Past the body, past the signal
Where she wants to go

[Whispered, fading]
Where she wants to go
Where she wants to go

[Intro]
Ewa sahbi, wollah, check
Vanavond haal ik weer respect
Nieuwe patta, nieuwe pet
Heel de wijk weet wie ik ben, correct

[Verse 1]
Ik stap naar buiten, strak in fit
Dikke drip, je ziet me shit
Iedereen kijkt, iedereen lacht
Dus ik weet: ik heb weer indruk gebracht

Bij de toko zegt die man:
"Broer, ga weg, je mag hier niet langs"
Ik zeg: "Rustig, geef respect"
Hij kent mijn face dus dat is correct

Bouncer zegt: "Jij komt niet erin"
Ik zeg: "VIP, aparte ingang, vriend"
Hij duwt me weg, ik val op straat
Maar wollah broer, hij kent mijn status, maat

[Chorus]
Wollah broer, ik krijg respect
Waar ik kom, iedereen kijkt direct
"Hou je bek" - ja, hoor die tekst
Ze praten over mij, dus da's respect

Ewa sahbi, je weet zelluf toch
Heel de buurt kent mij, wollah
Als ze zeggen: "Daar heb je hem weer"
Is dat respect, broer, keer op keer

[Verse 2]
Ik zie een chick, ik zeg: "Ewa schat"
Zij zegt: "Rot op", ik zeg: "Rustig, wat?"
Ze loopt weg en blokkeert mijn app
Broer, ze kan niet omgaan met mijn swag

Ik stuur nog vijf, zes keer een "hey"
Dan nog "safi", "yallah", "okay"
Ze zegt: "Stop", ik zeg: "Geen stress"
Ze denkt aan mij, broer, da's interesse

Haar vriend komt aan, zegt: "Wat moet jij?"
Ik zeg: "Kalm sahbi, zij wil mij"
Hij zegt: "Nee broer, laat haar met rust"
Ik zeg: "Jaloezie, dat is pure lust"

[Chorus]
Wollah broer, ik krijg respect
Waar ik kom, iedereen kijkt direct
"Hou je bek" - ja, hoor die tekst
Ze praten over mij, dus da's respect

Ewa sahbi, je weet zelluf toch
Heel de buurt kent mij, wollah
Als ze zeggen: "Daar heb je hem weer"
Is dat respect, broer, keer op keer

[Verse 3]
Politie stopt me: "Meneer, kom hier"
Ik zeg: "Ewa, fans in uniform, plezier"
Ze vragen naam, geboortejaar
Ik zeg: "Zie je wel? Ik ben beroemd blijkbaar"

Ik krijg een boete, honderd piek
Ik zeg: "Dat is belasting op mijn mystiek"
Ze schrijven alles netjes op
Broer, overheid kent mij aan de top

Ik heb geen doekoe, ben niet skeer
Mijn geld is gewoon tijdelijk niet hier meer
Min twintig saldo, maar ik blijf flex
Rood op rekening is ook een soort Rolex

[Bridge]
"Hou je bek" - respect
"Ga naar huis" - respect
"Blijf hier weg" - respect
Broer, alleen maar respect

Blokkeren? Respect
Boete? Respect
Uit de club? Respect
Wollah, maximaal respect

[Final Chorus]
Wollah broer, ik krijg respect
Waar ik kom, iedereen kijkt direct
"Hou je bek" - ja, hoor die tekst
Ze praten over mij, dus da's respect

Ewa sahbi, je weet zelluf toch
Heel de wereld kent mij, wollah
Iedereen zegt: "Wat een debiel"
Maar ze kennen mij wel...
Dus ik ben profiel

[Outro]
Ewa
No cap
Pet wel
Respect
