Intro
They watching every move, every click, every scroll The machine learning patterns, taking control
Verse 1
Wake up, check the feed, dopa in my veins Blue light burning retinas, rewiring my brains Swipe left on reality, double-tap the lie Algo knows me better than I know myself, no cap, why? Predicting what I want before I even think it Serving up the content, got me on the brink, addicted Data mining gold from every second that I waste They bottling my attention, got me running in place
Chorus
The Algo god got us all in a trance Puppet master pulling strings, we just dance, dance, dance Trading souls for likes, yeah we feeding the beast The Algo god, and we all at the feast
Verse 2
Notification warfare, bombing concentration spans Infinite scroll designed to keep you where you stand Every post calculated to trigger your rage Keep you fighting strangers, locked inside the cage Echo chamber symphony, only hear what you believe Meanwhile they selling everything that makes you grieve Your insecurity's a product, monetized and tracked While the server farms are counting every single fact
Bridge
What if I told you freedom's just an interface? What if your whole identity is data they can trace? What if the addiction was the product all along? What if we're the content in the Algo's song?
Verse 3
But I'm waking up now, deleting every app Taking back my timeline, filling in the gap Real conversations, eye contact, no screen Living in dimensions that the code ain't never seen They can keep their metrics, analytics, and views I'm choosing my own narrative, I'm writing my own news Breaking from the matrix, yeah I'm logging off for good Algo god can't touch me where the real ones stood
Chorus
The Algo god got us all in a trance Puppet master pulling strings, we just dance, dance, dance Trading souls for likes, yeah we feeding the beast The Algo god, and we all at the feast
Bridge
Disconnect to reconnect, that's the philosophy Breaking digital chains, that's the new prophecy Screen time's a prison, but the door ain't locked Time to storm the servers where our futures being stocked
Chorus
The Algo god got us all in a trance Puppet master pulling strings, we just dance, dance, dance Trading souls for likes, yeah we feeding the beast The Algo god, and we all at the feast
Outro
Power button glowing in the dark Time to leave a mark that ain't digital Real life waiting on the other side Algo god can't follow where we hide
Inside the recording
They watching every move, every click, every scroll The machine learning patterns, taking control
The Algo god got us all in a trance Puppet master pulling strings, we just dance, dance, dance
Power button glowing in the dark Time to leave a mark that ain't digital
