Track Notes
The arrival scene: brave, bright, and already cracking at the edges. It captures the rush of belonging and the fear of being found out.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Showed up with my stickered laptop pride
Code queen from a high school hive
Mom said "you'll do fine," I said "I know,"
But the gates here don't feel like home.
Wean's a maze, my brain's on fire,
Name tag smile, internal liar,
"Nice to meet you" on repeat,
I can't find my room or my feet.
[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone talks in code I don't know,
I fake a laugh, pretend I'm in control.
[Chorus]
Hello, world - it's me again,
Trying to print some confidence.
Stack overflow inside my chest,
I'm compiling under stress.
Hello, world - I swear I'll run,
Even if I crash on line one.
I'll debug the doubt till it's gone,
Welcome to where I belong.
[Verse 2]
Club fair chaos, flyer storm,
"Join our hackathon reform!"
Someone asks my favorite stack,
I panic, smile, and mumble back.
Gates glass walls, I see them grind,
They type like gods, I lag behind.
Their cursors fly, mine hesitates,
Still learning keys to my own gates.
[Pre-Chorus]
It's week one, but I'm already late,
To confidence, to calm, to fate.
[Chorus]
Hello, world - it's me again,
Trying to print some confidence.
Stack overflow inside my chest,
I'm compiling under stress.
Hello, world - I swear I'll run,
Even if I crash on line one.
I'll debug the doubt till it's gone,
Welcome to where I belong.
[Bridge]
Between the lectures and the storm,
I'm learning what I came here for.
Not just loops or logic trees,
But the courage to believe in me.
So when my script decides to break,
I'll rerun with each mistake.
[Chorus]
Hello, world - it's me again,
Trying to print some confidence.
Stack overflow inside my chest,
I'm compiling under stress.
Hello, world - I swear I'll run,
Even if I crash on line one.
I'll debug the doubt till it's gone,
Welcome to where I belong.
[Outro]
Command line heart, unrefined,
Press return, see what I find.
Hello, world - it starts tonight,
First build of my brand new life.
