Track 7
Out of Scope
Resonance at the Edge
Player Out of Scope
Track Notes
A story about boundaries, scope creep, and the cost of saying yes to everything. It carries a subtle ache under the drive, like a warning label with teeth.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Watch the features grow, they're getting bigger every time / A moving goalpost's dance is an art that's hard to find
Another random ask adds chaos to the plan
And as we sprint to meet the mark, the lines shift once again
[Pre-Chorus]
Now push, pull, break-man, we never had a chance
With timelines stretched and breaking code, they still demand a glance
And now we're stuck again / Caught in scope's extend / Nice mess they made / It'll never end
[Chorus]
With a thousand changes and a shifting goal
Push the limits, lose control (2x)
When the rules all change, nothing stays the same
See the panic in their eyes
Watch the deadline start to die
[Verse 2]
Slipping through the cracks, the boundaries blur and fade / Every shiny thought becomes a task we're forced to trade
The backlog never ends, it grows and swallows whole / And every fix we make just leaves another hole
[Pre-Chorus]
Now push, pull, break-man, they'll never let it stop
The waterfall turns tidal waves, it's crashing from the top
And now we're caught again
Locked in scope's pretend
The goals they fake
Will never bend
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Scope's a beast, it feeds, no matter what we plead
They pile high, we fall beneath
No escape, we're stuck, the hours all erupt
But we rise again from the dust
[Outro]
Clever workarounds, bending to the tides
Push the limits, lose control (2x)
When the rules all change, nothing stays the same
See the fire in our eyes
We'll deliver through the night
