Overclocked delves into the internal chaos of a mind pushed beyond its limits. It’s a narrative of digital burnout intersecting with profound personal anguish, told through the lens of corrupted code and failing systems. The artist navigates a landscape of static, glitches, and recursive pain, exposing the vulnerability beneath the cyber-enhanced exterior.

The track features a slow, deliberate tempo, contrasting the title's suggestion of speed with the reality of a system in crisis. It is built on dark synthwave pads and pulsing, yet restrained, basslines. The male vocal delivery shifts between melancholic singing and raw, confessional slow rap, punctuated by distorted effects that mirror the song's themes of static and corruption. The atmosphere is dense and claustrophobic, reflecting the internal struggle, before hints of light break through in the closing moments.

Lyrics

Bootin' up, low as fuck
Drownin' deep in corrupted muck
Crashin' hard, fallin' outta grace
Tears of code drip down my fuckin' face
They don't see the fractures in my goddamn soul
Heart's behind firewalls, spiralin' outta control
Think I'm just patchin' shit, wearin' that cool-boy mask
But I'm fallin' fast, breakin' every fuckin' task

Reachin' for the mainframe, where the nightmare breathes
Circuits scream like hell, my secrets grind their teeth
Whispers twitch in code, through this binary haze
Is this just system failure or a dream someone erased?

Sorry for the static, and words I couldn't choke
Tried to kill the signals, but the circuits broke
Caught in recursion, a fuckin' loop of pain
This human connection, searin' straight through my main
White noise wails, I search like mad
Lookin' for some logic in a world gone bad
Is this your truth or just some hand-me-down lie?
Firewalls torched and I don't even know why
Ghosts in the code, back again like sin
Dancin' through my memory, crawlin' under skin
Oil burns midnight while the real world sleeps
But every missed ping's a goddamn promise I can't keep

Broken bits fall, pixelated shame
But somewhere in the static, I still scream your name

Reachin' for the mainframe, where the darkness creeps
My system's screamin', can't bury what it keeps
Echoes in the signal, glitchin' through the stream
Is this some broken data or the ghost of a dream?

Sorry for the static, shit I couldn't fake
Tried to wipe the system, but the code still aches
Trapped in this recursion, tearin' at my head
One damn connection is what I want instead

Back at the root, tryna break the script
Before this digital coffin closes in and zips
Can't fake the reboot, can't mask the dread
'Cause the ghost in the signal wants me dead

Sorry for the static, can't muffle the scream
Tried deletin' my heart, but it wrote its own dream
Loopin' in hell, still chasin' that thread
This brutal connection still what I crave instead

Yeah
A human transmission still callin' me ahead
Bootin' up with fury while the old code bled
New code's risin', no more fuckin' pretend
In the system's silence, I start to transcend
Maybe the glitch was where truth always hid
A dawn in corruption, let the healing begin
(Let the fuckin' healing begin)
