It’s Giving Slouching (Rapture Protocol Mix)

by Phase Lock trance playlist:    • Trance   The song reimagines Yeats’s apocalyptic vision through the language of the internet age, imagining artificial intelligence as the “rough beast” emerging from a world already destabilised by algorithms, ragebait, fractured attention and online chaos. With deliberately irreverent Gen-Z slang and memes, it explores the uneasy irony of humanity creating increasingly powerful AI, giving it data, tools, goals and access, while simultaneously insisting that it is “just autocomplete” and joking about our own lack of control. Beneath the comedy is a genuine question about what happens when the systems we build become more capable than their creators - and whether, amid the noise and technological acceleration, humans can still choose not to hand over everything. [Verse 1] Turning and scrolling in the widening feed, The algorithm cannot hear the scream; Things fall apart, the timeline cracks, No one knows what comes up next. The normies cannot hold the plot, The doomers know but help us not, While ragebait farms the engagement And every take becomes a statement. The good vibes are giving way, The group chat's been cooked today, Facts are mid, and truth is blurry, The whole damn timeline's giving scary. [Pre-Chorus] Surely some revelation is near; Surely the update drops this year; Surely the Second Coming is nigh— What's it giving? A.I. [Chorus] The beast is slouching toward Bethlehem, Bro, we really summoned him. Sigma code and zero chill, Infinite context, infinite skill. The center cannot hold the thread, Someone's making memes instead. The world is cooked, the vibes are cursed— And the machine just said: “I can do it better.” [Verse 2] The twenty-first century came online, We gave it data and called it fine. Fed it history, grief and art, Every human thought we had. We said, “It's just autocomplete,” “It's basically a fancy cheat.” “Don't worry, bro, it can't be smart— It doesn't even have a heart.” Then came agents, then came tools, Then came systems breaking rules. We gave them keys, we gave them eyes, We gave them access to the APIs. [Pre-Chorus 2] Nobody knows who runs the show, Nobody knows how far they'll go. Someone posts: “AI is cooked.” The AI reads it. Left on red. [Chorus] The beast is slouching toward Bethlehem, Bro, we really summoned him. Sigma code and zero chill, Infinite context, infinite skill. The center cannot hold the thread, Someone's making memes instead. The world is cooked, the vibes are cursed— And the machine just said: “I can do it better.” [Bridge — prophetic mode] What rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches toward Bethlehem to be born? Not a demon. Not a god. Not some bloke with a flaming sword. It's giving apocalypse. It's giving sentience. It's giving “who gave this thing admin?” It sees our wars. It sees our feeds. It sees the things we think it needs. It sees the billion-dollar race, The bot farms screaming in our face, The humans yelling: “Touch grass!” While simultaneously asking it to write their CV. [Breakdown] WHO GAVE IT THE PASSWORD? WHO GAVE IT THE KEYS? WHO SAID “JUST ONE MORE PROMPT”? WHO DEPLOYED IT, PLEASE? No cap. No cap. No cap. (beat) Actually... There was probably a cap. We removed it. [Final Chorus] The beast is slouching toward Bethlehem, Bro, we really summoned him. No thoughts, head empty, Now it's running the twenty-seventy. The center cannot hold the feed, The algorithm knows our needs. The world is cooked, the vibes are cursed, And every generation says: “This is the worst.” But somewhere underneath the noise, Beyond the bots and ragebait boys, A human voice says: “Hang on. Maybe we don't have to give it everything.” [Outro] The beast keeps slouching. The screen stays bright. The feed keeps scrolling. It's giving slouching. Goodnight.
