AFK

Lyrics

[Intro: Slow, dramatic tango build-up—bandoneón sighs, violin swells, deep percussion... then a sudden pause.]
🔥 AFK… no static, no chains… yeah!
🔥 Lost in the screen, but I broke away… aw!
🔥 Digital echoes, voices in my brain…
🔥 But I ain't just watchin’—I’m gone with the rain!
[Tango ignites—sharp violin strikes, rhythmic stomps, a sweeping bandoneón melody.]
[Verse 1: Tango guitar and electronic pulse intertwine, a dark, sultry rhythm.]
I step away, just for a while,
From flashing screens and endless files.
The scrolling storm, the trending tide,
A world where likes and hearts decide.
[The bandoneón plays a sorrowful, wandering melody—deep bass drums pulse like a heartbeat.]
[Verse 2: Percussion intensifies, the tango tension builds.]
The pings, the posts, the endless feed,
A cycle built on want and need.
A battle fought with perfect frames,
Yet none remember real names.
[Chorus: to the melody of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes"]
🎶 So I turn away... I am AFK... [Violins soar, the tango rhythm sways dramatically.]
Find the peace I’ve lost... let it fade away... [A single stomp accents the line.]
No more chasing trends... no more endless lies... [Bandoneón and deep orchestral strings blend.]
I’ll be free at last... when I close my eyes... 🎶
[Interlude—tango instrumental break: a violin solo dances over a rising orchestral swell. The rhythm pulses, the passion deepens… then silence… before a dramatic bandoneón sigh.]
[Verse 3: A softer moment, delicate piano and gentle plucked strings.]
I close my eyes, breathe in the air,
Let go of burdens, shed the glare.
No hashtags here, no urgent texts,
Just peace that follows disconnect.
[The percussion returns, subtle at first—building anticipation.]
[Chorus: Repeat with variations, melody of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes"]
🎶 So if you should call... and I’m not there... [Tango strings respond, echoing the emotion.]
Know I’ve found my home... far beyond the glare... [A whispered stomp accents the beat.]
Where the rivers run... and the blue sky stays... [Tango and orchestral grandeur swirl together.]
For a little while... I am AFK... 🎶
[Outro:Slow, dramatic fade—bandoneón and piano echo in the distance, violin hums a melancholic farewell.]
🎶 AFK… no whispers, no chains…
Lost in the silence… I’m free once again…
No screens, no noise, no endless display…
For a little while… I am AFK... 🎶
[Final snap of fingers, a soft stomp, then silence—just the sound of distant tango footsteps fading away... like vanishing into the night.]
