Track Notes
A frantic, funny panic spiral in the hallway line. The humor masks the ache, but you can hear the doubt between the power chords.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's a mile-long line in the hallway's heat,
Laptop open, heart in defeat.
Number eighty-seven on the help sheet name,
Every face looks exactly the same.
Code won't run, T A's gone rogue,
Coffee's cold, my patience froze.
All I wanted was one small hint,
Now I'm questioning why I'm in it.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every whisper sounds like "she's lost,"
Every minute adds to the cost.
[Chorus]
Office hours, full queue,
I'm breaking down in public view.
Syntax tears and caffeinated shame,
Autograder hates my name.
Office hours, full queue,
Stuck behind a smarter you.
If life's a loop, I'm stuck inside,
Endless wait, no override.
[Verse 2]
Post-it notes and panic mode,
Piazza thread, my code's been showed.
Someone solved it "just for fun,"
I've been here since set one.
I write, erase, then write again,
TA says, "try run-time then."
He walks away, I fake a grin,
But my loop just starts again.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every click feels like defeat,
This queue's my confessional seat.
[Chorus]
Office hours, full queue,
I'm breaking down in public view.
Syntax tears and caffeinated shame,
Autograder hates my name.
Office hours, full queue,
Stuck behind a smarter you.
If life's a loop, I'm stuck inside,
Endless wait, no override.
[Bridge]
Maybe it's not about who's best,
Maybe I'm just stress-obsessed.
Maybe learning means I fail,
Before I ever lift the veil.
I'm not a bug, I'm just mid-fix,
Patience is my new for-loop trick.
[Chorus]
Office hours, full queue,
Still standing here, just pushing through.
If genius means to try again,
Then maybe I'm not broken yet.
Office hours, full queue,
Recompiling what I knew.
If life's a loop, I'll make it mine,
One more run, this time I'll shine.
[Outro]
"Next in line?" the T A calls,
I step up, heartbeat installs.
Maybe I'll get one right this time -
Maybe this wait was by design.
