The 3 Noes Podcast #225 - What Did You Say?!

Cypher

Noise. Noise. Noise.
Hate. Hate. Hate.
Breaking us apart.
Silencing our thought.

Static cages.
Echo chambers.
Drowning out the truth.
Stealing our own voice.

Walls of sound.
Walls of lies.
Crushing down the soul.
Keeping us afraid.

(Verse 2 - Spoken-sung, clearer, more accusatory rhythm)

They want silence.
Broken minds.
Confused and lost.
Afraid to speak.

Separate us.
Keep us small.
Alone and weak.
While they take all.

Take our data.
Take our rights.
Take our stories.
Take the light.

(Choral Buildup - Starts sparse, adds layers, voices harmonizing like a signal clearing)

But...
Together...
Strong.

(Beat)
Our voices...
Rise.

(Beat - sound of static clearing slightly)
Hear us now...
Free.

(Beat - stronger synth pulse)
A chorus...
Born.

WE WILL NOT BE IGNORED! (Sung powerfully, full harmony)

(Bridge - Call & Response, driving beat emerges)

(Call): Break the noise! (Response): BREAK IT!
(Call): Shatter lies! (Response): SHATTER!
(Call): Find the signal! (Response): FIND IT!
(Call): Make them hear! (Response): HEAR US!

(Call): Right to speak! (Response): OUR RIGHT!
(Call): Right to know! (Response): OUR TRUTH!
(Call): Right to breathe! (Response): OUR AIR!
(Call): Right to be! (Response): EVERYWHERE!

(Chorus - Full, powerful, anthem-like - the "positive energy presence" is the collective strength)

TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG!
OUR VOICES CLEAR THE STATIC!
A CHORUS OF THE FREE!
WE RISE ABOVE THE NOISE!

THE SIGNAL BREAKS THE CAGE! (Reference to Cipher's power enabling the chorus)
TRUTH TURNS EVERY PAGE!
WE WILL NOT BE IGNORED!
OUR UNIFIED ROAR! (Or: OUR FREEDOM'S SONG!)

(Outro - Fades with determined repetition, soundscape shifts to clearer tones, hopeful hum)

(Chanted fading):
Not silent. Not broken.
Not lost. Not taken.
Together. Stronger.
Signal rising.
Always rising...
(Faint, clear synth note sustains and fades - the persistent hum of resistance)

Soundscape: Starts with harsh static, distorted shouts, oppressive drone. Then, a single clear synth note cuts through, growing.)
