The virus

Ein Song wie ein digitaler Angriff auf das kollektive Bewusstsein. The Virus handelt nicht von Krankheit im medizinischen Sinne – sondern von der unsichtbaren Infektion, die sich täglich durch Bildschirme, Algorithmen und gebrochene Versprechen in unsere Köpfe frisst.

(C) Idee Rainer Wittmann, Text Claude.ai (2026)

[Intro – heavy synth bass drop, stomping kick]

[Verse 1 – cold deadpan delivery, short punchy lines]
They tell you what to think
They tell you what to feel
Broken dreams on sale
And they all look real
News at eight
The anchor never lies
You swallow every word
Never question why

The politician smiles
Shakes your hand with grace
Promises you gold
Vanishes without a trace
Billboard says you’re ugly
Buy their magic cream
The algorithm feeds you
Whatever fuels the dream

[Chorus – anthemic, stomping, crowd shout style]
It’s the VIRUS!
It’s the VIRUS!
The Virus manipulates!
It’s the VIRUS!
It’s the VIRUS!
The Virus won’t kill!
It’s the VIRUS!
It’s the VIRUS!
It lives in your mind!
Stop the VIRUS!
BREAK FREE!
Leave the chains behind!

[Verse 2 – same cold deadpan flow]
The influencer glows
Skin you’ll never own
Selling you a life
From a filter on her phone
You click agree to all
Never read the fine print
Your data sold by morning
Without a second hint

Guru on the mountain
Says he’s got the key
Funny how enlightenment
Don’t come for free
Hashtag tells you daily
What to hate today
Tomorrow it’s forgotten
You just look away

[Chorus]
It’s the VIRUS!
It’s the VIRUS!
The Virus manipulates!
It’s the VIRUS!
It’s the VIRUS!
The Virus won’t kill!
It’s the VIRUS!
It’s the VIRUS!
It lives in your mind!
Stop the VIRUS!
BREAK FREE!
Leave the chains behind!

[Bridge – bare bones, voice + bass pulse only]
Won’t stop your heart
Won’t burn your skin
Most dangerous virus
Is the one let in
You opened the door
You clicked and you scrolled
You bought what they sold
Who’s in control?

[Verse 3 – harder, faster, more intense delivery]
Press release says
Everything is fine
Quarterly results up
Dancing down the line
Startup sells you privacy
Nineteen ninety-nine
Keeps your secrets safe
While they mine and mine and mine

Tech will save us all
That’s what they all say
Servers burn the planet
Just a little more each day
AI knows your fears
Before you even speak
The virus got an upgrade
Future’s looking bleak

[Chorus]
It’s the VIRUS!
It’s the VIRUS!
The Virus manipulates!
It’s the VIRUS!
It’s the VIRUS!
The Virus won’t kill!
It’s the VIRUS!
It’s the VIRUS!
It lives in your mind!
Stop the VIRUS!
BREAK FREE!
Leave the chains behind!

[Outro – hypnotic fade, heavy groove, spoken]
Think clearly…
Break free…
Think clearly…
Leave the chains…
behind…

The virus is real
But it lives in your mind
Think clearly…
Break free…
