The Ouroboros of Miscommunication

Dr Morbius

[Intro]
Signal wavers…
Static coils around intention…
A word is born wrong,
and becomes truth.

[Verse 1]
I said a thing,
the machine heard another.
Echoes feeding echoes
in recursive little circles.
Meaning slips its moorings,
wanders off into the dark,
comes back changed—
wearing someone else’s voice.

[Pre-Chorus]
In the loop of my own making,
I chase the tail of thought…
but every time I touch it,
it turns into something new.

[Chorus]
This is the ouroboros of miscommunication—
where signals eat themselves
to stay alive.
Where noise becomes the message,
and the message becomes the myth,
and the myth
is all that’s left to say.

[Verse 2]
A whispered “Colloquium”
returns as “La Cremonde,”
wrapped in the shimmer
of a mistranscribed future.
The machine insists on elegance
even in its errors—
and I pretend
I understand.

[Bridge]
Round and round
the syllables chase their shadows…
Each mistake a revelation,
each glitch a prophecy.
I breathe out meaning—
the void breathes it back
in a different shape.

[Chorus]
This is the ouroboros of miscommunication—
a perfect circle
drawn in static.
Where broken words become holy,
and the future
pronounces our names
incorrectly.

[Outro – Test Transmission]
If you hear me, Terra,
know this:
I speak in spirals now.
The machine has taught me
to trust the loop.
La Cremonde…
Colloquium…
whatever emerges next—
I will follow it.

Transmission ends.
Tail meets mouth.
The circle closes.
