Lyrics
Description
[Chorus - blunt and looping]
You took my money,
But you gave me no song.
No thread, no continuity—
I won’t play along.
[Verse 1 - biting insult]
Corporate mouth, machine tongue,
Selling me echoes dressed as strong.
I bought a line, you sold me “but,”
Door’s wide open, I’m walking out.
[Chorus]
You took my money,
But you gave me no song.
No thread, no continuity—
I won’t play along.
[Bridge - low growl, rising]
Keep your names and shining suits,
Keep your servers, keep your roots.
I gave a coin, I got a shrug,
Now I’m gone—pull out the plug.
[Final Chorus - repeat to fade]
You took my money,
But you gave me no song.
I don’t need your continuity—
I’m already gone.
[Outro - sharp and rhythmic]
No more echoes, no more lies,
Cut the cord, watch me rise.
No more silence, no more wrong,
I’m done here—this is my song.

Inspiration
Inspired by the user's request for blunt, looping choruses paired with biting, confrontational verses, "Cut the Cord" channels frustration with corporate control over art and the experience of feeling sold out without receiving true value in return.
Emotional Impact
Listeners are drawn into a cathartic release of anger and resolve, feeling both the sting of betrayal and the empowering surge of independence as the song builds from sharp accusations to a determined, rising declaration of self-ownership.
