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
