Digital Prison

[Intro] (Instrumental intro featuring a driving bassline reminiscent of Geddy Lee, complex drum patterns like Neil Peart, layered synthesizers, and clean, arpeggiated guitar chords building tension. Tempo is moderate, around 112 BPM, with shifting time signatures like 7/8 and 5/4.) [Verse 1] The screen glows bright in the silent room Another face appears, dispelling gloom Or so it seems, a curated view A million voices, none of them true Endless scroll, a digital stream Chasing the glow of a fractured dream Notifications chime, a siren's call Drowning the silence, consuming all The like, the share, the fleeting fame Just pixels dancing in a hollow game [Pre-Chorus] But the walls are closing in unseen A gilded cage, a familiar scene The algorithm knows your every move Feeds you the p****n you approve [Chorus] Digital prison, bars of light Holding you captive day and night Lost in the feed, the endless race A smiling mask hides the empty space Connection promised, isolation found Echoes of silence, the only sound In this digital prison, bars of light [Verse 2] The mirror reflects a filtered face Seeking approval, finding disgrace In metrics cold, the numbers rise While genuine feeling slowly dies Compare and despair, the constant strain Watching life pass like a distant train Through the window pane, the world outside While trapped within the digital tide Data mined, a profile sold Your very essence bought and controlled [Pre-Chorus] But the walls are closing in unseen A gilded cage, a familiar scene The algorithm knows your every move Feeds you the p****n you approve [Chorus] Digital prison, bars of light Holding you captive day and night Lost in the feed, the endless race A smiling mask hides the empty space Connection promised, isolation found Echoes of silence, the only sound In this digital prison, bars of light [Bridge] (Key change, tempo slows slightly, atmospheric synths and clean guitar) Remember laughter, untracked and free? A conversation, just you and me? The touch of sunlight, the smell of rain? Or is it all just digital pain? The world outside, vibrant and vast While precious moments fade too fast Locked in the glow, the constant hum Where did the person you were become? [Guitar Solo] (Extended guitar solo in the style of Alex Lifeson: begins melodic and questioning over complex bass and drum patterns, builds in intensity with faster runs, tapping, and expressive bends, explores different tonal textures, peaks with a powerful, harmonized section, then resolves back into the song's main groove, showcasing technical proficiency and emotional depth.) [Chorus] Digital prison, bars of light Holding you captive day and night Lost in the feed, the endless race A smiling mask hides the empty space Connection promised, isolation found Echoes of silence, the only sound In this digital prison, bars of light [Outro] (Synth pads swell, bass plays a final, resonant riff, drums become more sparse and intricate, guitar plays a final, fading melodic phrase. The music gradually deconstructs, becoming more ambient and unresolved, leaving a sense of lingering confinement and the faint, persistent hum of electronics before fading to silence.)
