Lyrics

  1. “Just someone else’s computer—you’re logged-in far away.
  2. I thought I owned the keyboard, but you went production-grade.
  3. “Just someone else’s computer—they tell me you’re the cloud;
  4. I’m the lone, unplugged peripheral, whisper-crying out loud.”
  5. Verse 1 – On-Demand Self-Service
  6. On-Demand Self-Service
  7. You spin new lovers up with one careless click—no tickets, no nervous.
  8. Provision your thrills at midnight, shut me down at dawn;
  9. DIY romance—your SLA is “move on.”
  10. On-Demand Self-Service
  11. (Chorus)
  12. Verse 2 – Broad Network Access
  13. Broad Network Access
  14. Any device with a heartbeat can now share your address.
  15. Phone calls, tablets, smart fridges too—
  16. Your love is responsive; my invite is 404’d and overdue.
  17. Broad Network Access
  18. (Chorus)
  19. Verse 3 – Resource Pooling
  20. Resource Pooling
  21. One giant parts-bin of passion—multi-tenant drooling.
  22. You carved my slice thinner than virtual air;
  23. Shared everything but secrets—left me paying for spare.
  24. Resource Pooling
  25. (Chorus)
  26. Verse 4 – Rapid Elasticity
  27. Rapid Elasticity
  28. Your heart stretched wide for traffic spikes of duplicity.
  29. Scaled to the moon when fame liked your post;
  30. Then shrank me to zero—serverless ghost.
  31. Rapid Elasticity
  32. (Chorus)
  33. Verse 5 – Measured Service
  34. Measured Service
  35. Metered affection—each byte of attention feels cursive.
  36. I count every ping, every billable frame;
  37. A fool could measure the distance, but I owe all the blame.
  38. Measured Service
  39. (Chorus)
  40. Bridge – Deployment Models (spoken, half-laugh/half-sigh over soft finger-snaps)
  41. Private!—our secret server room is gone.
  42. Community!—you share credentials at dawn.
  43. Public!—open ports on every street.
  44. Hybrid!—patchwork love, incomplete.
  45. (Final Chorus; acoustic strum fades with one wistful chuckle about “just someone else’s computer…”)
