Blackout Psychology
[Verse 1]
First they dimmed the lights to warn
Then they blamed the coming storm
Said, “Too much strain, you must comply
Let’s scale it back, or we all die”
The news flashed red, the shelves went bare
The grid was “fragile,” so beware
“Use less, pay more, shut off the breeze
And thank the state when you freeze”
[Pre-Chorus]
Fear sells better than control
So they flicker it into your soul
[Chorus]
It’s blackout psychology
Dim the world, then charge the fee
Break the bulb, then sell the night
Fear the dark, and lease the light
Every flicker, every fault
Is engineered to halt your thought
[Verse 2]
They teach you not to build or mend
To fear the tools that might transcend
Said, “Self-reliance risks the grid”
While quietly doing what you did
They’ll show you cities turned to ash
Then say, “You want that solar trash?”
But it’s not light that makes them shake
It’s the chance you won’t obey their take
[Pre-Chorus 2 - Slight tempo shift]
They dial the panic, raise the tide
Then sell escape they’ve always denied
[Chorus - Repeat with distortion]
It’s blackout psychology
Scare you blind, then bill your plea
Call it chaos, sell you calm
But truth don’t need a circuit’s balm
It burns inside, beneath the grid
In every dream they tried to rid
[Bridge - Spoken glitch-filtered voice]
"Emergency protocol...
Rolling fear initiated...
Compliance rate: rising."
[Outro - Silence interrupted by a child’s voice, clear and bright]
“But the sun’s still shining…
Why did you turn it off?”

Notes (3)
Imagine the News
Verse 1:
Click goes the screen, same old fear parade,
Another scandal, another blade.
But somewhere a rocket just kissed the sky,
And no one told us why.
A cure was found in a lab tonight,
A girl built wings that took to flight.
But that doesn’t sell like rage and doom
So brilliance leaves the room.
Pre-Chorus:
But what if the stories changed their tune?
What if we lit the nightly gloom?
Chorus:
Imagine the news at ten
With a headline: “Hope again.”
“Here’s a boy who grew food in the sand,”
“A woman who mapped the stars by hand.”
Imagine a world that leads
With minds, not just misdeeds.
Where the front page shouts what we can do
Imagine the news.
Verse 2:
A thousand hands just pulled the tide
From flood to safety, side by side.
A teacher built a drone from scraps
No cameras there, no claps.
We act like wonder’s underground,
But it’s rising up all around.
It just needs light, it just needs air
And someone to declare…
Pre-Chorus:
That not all flames are meant to burn,
Some are signs the world can turn.
Chorus:
Imagine the news at six
With a segment on solar tricks.
“Teenage coder saved a life,”
“Peace was brokered without a knife.”
Imagine if we all knew
What dreamers quietly do.
Not just what broke, but what breaks through
Imagine the news.
Bridge:
Not ignoring pain, but showing more
What we build is worth fighting for.
So let the anchors anchor hope,
Let the satellites widen scope.
Final Chorus (soaring):
Imagine the news at dawn,
Where “We did it!” is passed on.
A thousand sparks on every screen.
Proof we’re more than the in-between.
Tell the children not just the blues
But the symphony of human clues.
Let’s write it real, let’s make it true,
Imagine…
Imagine the news.
cute podcast song
(Verse 1)
I got a mic and a little dream,
Gonna talk my thoughts and let off steam,
Gonna play some tunes and take my time,
With a podcast vibe that’s truly mine.
(Chorus)
So hey, hey, hit that record!
Don’t need no fancy mixing board,
Just my voice, my heart, and a song or two,
And maybe some love coming straight from you.
(Verse 2)
It’s a value thing, you get what you give,
In this little space where we all just live,
So send me your thoughts and I’ll send mine back,
With beats and dreams on a simple track.
(Bridge)
And when the mic’s hot and the vibes are right,
We’ll laugh and groove deep into the night,
A little community, a little sound,
Spreading love and music all around.
(Final Chorus)
So hey, hey, hit that record!
Don’t need no fancy mixing board,
Just my voice, my heart, and a song or two,
And maybe some love coming straight from you.
