Track Notes

The bug that will not die, rendered as a sprint through flickering lights. It captures the paranoia and momentum of chasing an elusive race condition.

Lyrics
[Verse 1] It was a bug / Deep in the code You know exactly what I mean. Threads out of sync / Logic amiss How did it ever come to this? [Pre-Chorus 1] I tracked it down, It slipped away A phantom glitch that wouldn't stay Logs full of clues, Stack trace a mess But I won't stop until I fix this test [Chorus 1] It's a race condition A sneaky suspicion Breaking builds and mocking me It's a timing flaw With no applause But I'll catch it just wait and see [Verse 2] Debug at night, Coffee in hand Taming chaos where threads expand Mutex in place, Still no resolve What's the missing piece to solve? [Pre-Chorus 2] The clues align, The logs make sense I see the issue's origin, The threads collide When the timing's tight But now I know the way to make it right [Chorus 2] It's a race condition, A sneaky suspicion Breaking builds and mocking me But I wrote the patch, It's my rematch No more crashing, finally free [Bridge] Sorry, bug, but you're shut down Mutex locks are strong and sound You tried to slip and run away But I caught you, now you'll stay Too bad you couldn't see The coder I was meant to be I debugged, I stayed the course Now the system runs full force [Outro] It was a bug, Now it's resolved You know exactly what I mean. In the final trace, I see its face And I know I've won the race
