Turtleneck
Warm rounded electric bass drives syncopated melodic lines over a steady mid-tempo groove, with clean electric guitar stabs, bluesy fills, subtle electric piano, tight dry snare, soft kick, light room reverb, and polished studio gloss. Soulful male lead with melisma, chest-to-breathy falsetto shifts, layered gospel harmonies, neo-soul phrasing, violin-piano interplay, big-room house build, bar-by-bar lift, tambourine ticks, trap melodique, glitchcore edits, slide guitar, and heavy elect

Lyrics
Intro
Yeah... keep it cozy.
High-tech, high-neck.
[Verse 1]
I’m booting up the system, feeling so refined
Got twenty open tabs inside my brilliant mind
The AC in the office is set to freezing cold
But I’ve got a secret weapon, brave and bold
It’s not a fire-wall, it’s not a new degree
It’s 100% merino, protecting me.
[Interlude]
From the LAN party to the grocery store
I don't need a jacket, I don't need no more
It’s my signature look, it’s my tactical gear
The reason I’ve got nothing to fear.
[Chorus]
It’s my turtleneck, my tactical turtleneck
Hiding my double chin, keeping my ego in check
I wear it at the beach, I wear it in the shower
The fabric is the source of my computing power
Don't tug the collar, don't mess with the fold
It’s the greatest story ever told
In my turtleneck.
[Verse 2]
The girls say "Hey, it’s summer, aren’t you feeling hot?"
I say "Style has no temperature," believe it or not
I’m like a human turtle in a cozy shell
I’ve got a pocket protector and I wear it well
I’m avoiding the sun, I’m avoiding the breeze
I’m living my life with maximum ease.
[Bridge]
(Music slows down, dramatic spacey synths)
Black like Jobs, gray like a cloud
I’m a fashion rebel, standing proud
Is there a shirt underneath? Nobody knows.
That’s just the mystery of how the yarn flows.
[Chorus]
It’s my turtleneck, my tactical turtleneck
Hiding my double chin, keeping my ego in check
I wear it at the gym, I wear it to sleep
The secrets of the knit are the secrets I keep
Don't tug the collar, don't mess with the fold
It’s the greatest story ever told
In my turtleneck.
Chorus
It’s my turtleneck, my tactical turtleneck
Hiding my double chin, keeping my ego in check
I wear it at the gym, I wear it to sleep
The secrets of the knit are the secrets I keep
Don't tug the collar, don't mess with the fold
It’s the greatest story ever told
In my turtleneck.
[Outro]
(Fading out with a steady beat)
Stay covered.
Up to the jawline.
It’s a hug for my neck... all day long.
My turtleneck.
(Final mechanical keyboard click)
