I WANT YOU NOW - Protocol C - harder - +++++ techno rock
Modern progressive electronic rock track, 5–6 minutes. Rock structure driven by a repetitive electronic riff core, obsessive and continuous. Mid-tempo to mid-fast. Constant forward motion, no drops, no breakdowns. Energy builds by repetition, accumulation, tension, not loudness. Long evolving sections, minimal hooks, no pop chorus. Steady kick and sequenced bass act as the main motif (hypnotic, mechanical). Electronics cold, structural, repetitive. Never EDM, never trance, never club. Guitars restrained, repetitive, slightly gritty. No solos, no hard rock power. Used to reinforce the loop, not dominate. Vocals: male mid / mid-low, sung (not spoken), tense, pressured, slightly fatigued. Not deep, not heroic. Short phrases, obsessive repetition. Female voice appears rarely as neutral, system-like motifs. Drums firm, regular, implacable. Human feel, not metal. Long instrumental intro and outro. Ending abrupt or unresolved. NOT: pop, hard rock/metal, EDM, trance, blues rock.

Lyrics
INTRO – short, restrained, immediate
City wakes in silent code
Screens glow soft, streets unload
Orders hum beneath the skin
Say it once — begin
VERSE 1 – male, sung, mid-low, driving
I want you standing in the line
I want you synced, I want you timed
Every step already planned
Every breath already scanned
I want you calm, I want you clean
No deviation in the scene
If you pause, the system waits
If you think, you hesitate
CHORUS – obsessive, looping, controlled
I want you
I want you now
Stay connected
Don’t ask how
I want you
Still and true
Stay in place
I want you
VERSE 2 – male, sung, longer, tension builds
We built the tools that watch us sleep
We named the rules we couldn’t keep
Hands went idle, minds went slow
While perfect systems learned to grow
No more errors, no more blame
Every failure archived, named
You don’t choose, you don’t refuse
You comply — they approve
COMMAND — ACCEPT
DELAY — ZERO
PRE-CHORUS – tighten
Don’t resist
Don’t reply
CHORUS – extended, darker
I want you
In the frame
I want you
Just the same
I want you
Safe and still
Nothing missing
Nothing real
INTERLUDE – instrumental, rock ↔ electronic tension
VERSE 3 – male, sung, darker, heavier
Those above don’t touch the ground
Glass and gold, no human sound
They watch the flow, they watch us move
From private rooms with perfect views
If we fall, it doesn’t show
If we break, the charts stay low
Life reduced to measured use
Kept alive — not let loose
ACCESS — DENIED
VIEW — ONLY
PRE-CHORUS – rise
Feel it close
Hold the line
CHORUS – final, strained
I want you
Hear the drive
I want you
Stay alive
I want you
Do your part
Keep it running
No restart
OUTRO – broken voices, stop-start, collapsing system
I WANT —
YOU —
MOVE —
NOW
(signal overload)
(loop stutters)
(hard cut)
