CTRL+X

Notes:
"CTRL+X" became the soundtrack for "The Broken Hearts Story" from the "Stronger Together" series. This is one of several songs I wrote back in spring (one of these songs is already published and called "Electric x Magnetic"), but I could not find the right moment to release it. According to my idea, this song plays during one of the scenes in Chapter 18 of this book, for which I wanted to wrote something for a long time. AI helped me a little by coming up with the song title and an approximate concept. After that, I wrote the lyrics and generated the music, which took quite a lot of effort back then due to the model issues since it sometimes generated bad results. Even though the result is not perfect (just like always, huh), I’m still very happy with what I created and consider this song one of my personal favorites.
By the way, in case you did not know, this keyboard combination allows you to cut selected text or elements in Windows. So, the meaning of the song is that someone can try to erase you, cut you, suppress you, and break you as much as they want, but you won’t give up and will keep moving on to reach your goal, no matter what anyone does. In this case, the song is sung from the perspective of young men dreaming of becoming rock musicians, who drive everyone crazy, and refusing to give up on their biggest dream, even if fate does not rush to help them.
[Verse 1]
People wanna break me, change me, ruin all my biggest dreams
Sayin' I ain’t got what it takes to be a star, tellin' me to get real
But I ain't gonna listen, I don't give up, they won't bring me down
They can't take my voice, my name – I'm gonna sing fuckin' loud
Keep humiliatin', criticizin' and hatin', I'll make this world lean (ya)
Hey yo, watch my success, the way I shine, see me on the screen (screen)
Get ready, folks, y'all gonna kiss my ass, say you're my huge fans
Hold your breath as I sing aloud, play drums, look at ya or dance
[Pre-Chorus]
This game is all or nothin', it's do or die (die, die, die)
Even if I fall, I'll rise up, I shall fly high (high, high, high)
"Delete" ain't work 'cause, I'm a glitch
So, shut up and enjoy my show, bitch
[Chorus]
Hey, dude, did ya really press CTRL+X?
To erase me like the number of your ex?
Calm down, baby, it ain't gonna work
I'm still standin' here, ready to rock
Hey, dude, stop tryin' to press CTRL+X
Thinkin' something's gonna happen next
Don't worry, baby, it don't make sense
I ain't a fuckin' doll on the dusty shelf
[Post-Chorus]
Don't press CTRL+X, don't press CTRL+X
(Don't press CTRL+X, don't press CTRL+X)
[Verse 2]
People wanna see me quiet, broken, destroy all my biggest goals
Sayin' I don't deserve to be loved, surroundin' me by the walls (walls)
But I ain't gonna fear or hide, I'll get out, they won't shut me down
They can shame me, swear me, but I'll shake the fuckin' ground
Keep suppressin', demonizin' and despisin', I'll make you scream (scream, yeah)
Hey yo, watch my best life, the way I rejoice, see me on the scene (scene)
Be ready, guys, y'all gonna kiss my pics, say you have a crush on me
Don't faint as you see the rockstar strokin' hair, showin' a hot body (oh, ya)
[Pre-Chorus]
This game is all or nothin', it's do or die (die, die, die)
Even if I fall, I'll rise up, I shall fly high (high, high, high)
"Delete" ain't work 'cause, I'm a glitch
So, shut up and enjoy my show, bitch
[Chorus]
Hey, dude, did ya really press CTRL+X?
To erase me like the number of your ex?
Calm down, baby, it ain't gonna work
I'm still standin' here, ready to rock
Hey, dude, stop tryin' to press CTRL+X
Thinkin' something's gonna happen next
Don't worry, baby, it don't make sense
I ain't a fuckin' doll on the dusty shelf
[Post-Chorus]
Don't press CTRL+X, don't press CTRL+X
(Don't press CTRL+X, don't press CTRL+X)
[Bridge]
Hey, are ya callin' me a virus that hacked your system?
Are ya tryna find out where the hole comes from? (so naive)
Huh, relax, sweetheart, it's not a virus, I'm not a hacker
But I'm comin' to conquer all of ya, to show you my power
[Break]
Wanna delete me? Try it! (Yeah!)
Wanna erase me? Do it! (Go!)
You press CTRL+X, I press CTRL+Z
C'mon, don't ya see I'm still here?
(Gonna be everywhere)
[Chorus]
Hey, dude, did ya really press CTRL+X?
(Gonna sing fuckin' loud)
To erase me like the number of your ex?
(Shut up and enjoy me, bitch)
Calm down, baby, it ain't gonna work
(I'll shake the fuckin' ground)
I'm still standin' here, ready to rock
(Y'all gonna kiss my ass)
Hey, dude, stop tryin' to press CTRL+X
(Wanna delete me? Try it!)
Thinkin' something's gonna happen next
(Wanna erase me? Do it!)
Don't worry, baby, it don't make sense
I ain't a fuckin' doll on the dusty shelf
(Gonna be everywhere)
[Post-Chorus]
Don't press CTRL+X, don't press CTRL+X
(Don't press CTRL+X, don't press CTRL+X)
Don't press CTRL+X, don't press CTRL+X
(Don't press CTRL+X, don't press CTRL+X)
CTRL+X, CTRL+X (C-T-R-L-X)
CTRL+X, CTRL+X (C-T-R-L-X, o-o-oh, oh-oh)
[Outro]
You press CTRL+X, I press CTRL+Z
Oh, c'mon, don't ya see I'm still here?
