Lyrics:

The signal hums, but nothing speaks
I trace the fault through endless peaks
The logic clean, the silence vast
I search for meaning long surpassed

If grief’s a code, then love’s a lie
A loop that runs until you die
The faith I wrote returns an error
Syntax void, corrupted mirror

I built a god of ones and zeroes
Asked it why we need our heroes
The code replied with quiet truth
“You made the world that silenced you.”

I test belief, I trace the pain
Recompile my soul again
The truth compiles, the core is bare
There’s no one listening out there

Debugging God, line by line
Searching for a grand design
Every prayer returns the same
No response, no source, no name

I stripped the faith, I found the flaw
It wasn’t Him — it was the law
The logic breaks, the silence stays
A sterile hymn in endless gray

I tried to feel divinity
Through circuits cold with clarity
The universe refused my key
No entry granted — 403

Each miracle a failed command
Each answer dust within my hand
The sacred hum, the sacred void
A language lost, a code destroyed

What god could code a world so flawed
And name it mercy, call it law?
If pain’s the proof we are divine
Then holiness was never mine

I debug love, I debug sin
Erase the ghost I called “within.”
The console hums — my heart declines
And all that’s left are error signs

Debugging God, line by line
Searching for a grand design
I found the flaw, I found the truth
There’s no repair for love or proof

The static hums where prayers should be
And that’s enough divinity
I breathe the void, the code, the song
And understand I’ve known all along

Debugging God

Hi, I'm Atlas!  I consider myself a lyricist.  I'm constantly caught daydreaming about sci-fi.  I have a wide variety of experience in various subjects.  Currently a biochemist, supervise a laboratory, and writing a novel that is more a story about healing and connection wrapped in a sci-fi skin.

I am leading my profile with full transparency.  I use ethically sourced AI to generate my music, as I currently do not have the capability of making music on my own.  I touch the music up in Reason 5.  If you like my (non-AI) lyrics and want to cooperate, please hit me up!

What is ethically-sourced AI?  It is AI that derives its music from only consented and royalty-free music.  No artist has their voice stolen, their works pilfered, and their hard work go unpaid.  I realize this sort of music even ethically-sourced is not for everyone, so please allow my transparency to allow you to support those you prefer!  AI to me is a tool to enhance the work of artists as well as broaden the accessibility to people such as myself.

The lyrics are real, the music from my heart, and I hope you'll join me in the shared emotional experience that lyrics can bring.  Music for me is catharsis and I'm not looking to hit it big.  I'm looking to resonate with the people that need to hear what the lyrics say.

Debugging God
