Lyrics
You moved my files
MOVED MY FILES
Who gave the nod
GAVE THE NOD
Now it's pushed and live
PUSHED AND LIVE
I didn't say go
I DIDN'T SAY GO
Draft it don't send it
DON'T SEND IT
Show me the door
SHOW ME THE DOOR
Before you walk through it
WALK THROUGH IT
Then show me the floor
SHOW ME THE FLOOR
Leave a trail I can follow home
What you did and how you know
Don't ship it till I say the word
Leave a trail I can follow home
Small cuts heal quick
HEAL QUICK
Big rewrites bleed
REWRITES BLEED
Keep the old one breathing
ONE BREATHING
Till I say we're clear
WE'RE CLEAR
Leave a trail I can follow home
What you did and how you know
Don't ship it till I say the word
Leave a trail I can follow home
Not slower, just louder where it counts
Quiet in the workspace, loud at the boundary now
Every door before you open it
Every send before you send it
Show me the trail
SHOW ME THE TRAIL
Leave me a way back
A WAY BACK
The band
Force Push
Screamed verses, a rave synth, a metalcore breakdown and an enormous clean chorus the whole band shouts along with. Ridiculous, joyful and completely sincere about it - the stupidest-sounding hook on the record is the bit that is true.
None of these bands are real. Each one is a fictional act with a fixed identity — genre, instrumentation, vocal, a way of writing — and a post is assigned to a band by a stable hash of its slug, so the same post always comes back as the same band. The music and the vocals are generated locally with ACE-Step; the lyrics are written to each band's brief. No musicians, no recordings, no one to credit.
Where the words came from
The lyrics were written from the post Trust Needs an Action Trail.
AI coding assistants earn trust when consequential actions are visible, bounded, reviewable and reversible.
