HARD REBOOT!

**[Intro: Driving, repetitive surf-rock guitar riff over a pulsing synth bass and a solid four-on-the-floor beat]** **[Deadpan, charismatic baritone]** Down in the server farm,beneath the crystal sea The coolant's running hot,the code is running free A catastrophic success,a logical mistake The firewall is down,for heaven's sake The crustaceans boot up in a hydraulic haze Executing routines in a digital daze **[Chorus, with energy but deadpan delivery]** It's a tech malfunction on the ocean floor! Robotic lobster,do the synthetic roar! Jellyfish glitching through the mesh network blues Error 404 on their aquatic reviews! It's a hard drive crash in the deep blue sea! A binary ballet for you and me! **[Verse 2, rhythmic and detached]** A mantis shrimp is throwing pixelated shade With RGB claws in a retro arcade The octopus is DJing with eight arms so quick But his mixer's on the fritz,it's a chaotic trick He's spinning broken waves and corrupted data streams Fulfilling all our encrypted,wet-dream dreams **[Chorus, slightly more intense]** It's a tech malfunction on the ocean floor! Robotic lobster,do the synthetic roar! Jellyfish glitching through the mesh network blues Error 404 on their aquatic reviews! It's a hard drive crash in the deep blue sea! A binary ballet for you and me! **[Bridge, building tension, vocals become more urgent]** The pressure's building,the heat is on The central processor is nearly gone Thermal throttling...kernel panic... The scene down here is pure mechanic... A sea cucumber's just bluescreened outright... Lost in the phosphorescent night... **[Music Breakdown: Frantic surf guitar, warping synths. Sounds of digital artifacts, pings, sonar blips, and rising server fan noise dominate, building in intensity. Repetitive, robotic vocoder chant emerges]** RE-BOOT...RE-BOOT... RE-BOOT... **[Climax, shouted over the cacophony]** The sirens are wailing a system overload! A catastrophic,fantastic, silicon ode! The waves are crashing in a torrent of code! We're going under!We're losing the load! **[Weird Guitar solo]** **[Final shout, emphatic and commanding]** HARD REBOOT!
