Track Notes
Fast, sarcastic, and exhausted in the best way. It honors the unsung saver who keeps shipping under impossible timelines.
Lyrics
[Intro]
"Yeah, I'll fix it..."
"Again"
[Verse 1]
You broke the build, you skipped the test
I got the ping, I cleaned the mess
2 a.m. and I'm still online
Writing patches you call divine
[Pre-Chorus 1]
No credit, just caffeine and dread
No sleep, just Slack threads in my head
They praise the ship, forget my name
But when it crashes, I'm to blame
[Chorus]
I patch your mess, then disappear
Just one more sprint, then I'll be clear
I duct tape dreams with brittle code
A solo act in full hero mode
I patch your mess, I hold the line
You call me "rockstar" when it's time
But when it's fixed, I fade from view
Hotfix hero, version who?
[Verse 2]
Feature creep and shifting scope
Deadlines dangling from a rope
You moved the goal, I moved the sky
Then you forgot I even tried
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Debugged your fire, absorbed your blame
Now I'm the one who's out of frame
Still shipping fixes through the pain
A silent savior in the rain
[Chorus]
I patch your mess, then disappear
Just one more sprint, then I'll be clear
I duct tape dreams with brittle code
A solo act in full hero mode
I patch your mess, I hold the line
You call me "rockstar" when it's time
But when it's fixed, I fade from view
Hotfix hero, version who?
[Bridge]
"Can you jump on this real quick?"
"It's only one line"
"You're a lifesaver"
"You're a machine"
"Hey... are you okay?"
[Final Chorus]
I patch your mess, then disappear
I've done this dance for one more year
You clap, I crash, then boot again
The cycle loops but never ends
I patch your mess, I hold the weight
You celebrate, I simulate
But one day soon, I'll ghost your queue
Hotfix hero... overdue
[Outro]
Just one more sprint (more sprint)
Then I'll be free
But for now
It's just me
