The Lucid Player Protocol

The world you see is a rendered construct, a "Black Iron" prison of looping scripts and attention-harvesting feeds. Most are Non-Player Characters (NPCs), drifting through pre-written narratives of fear and reaction.

To wake is to realize: You are not the code. You are the Player.

"The past dissolves if you stop believing, fear uninstalls when you stop receiving."

Phase One: The Hard Reset

Disconnect from the noise. The "news," the doom-scrolling, the outrage cycles - these are control signals designed to keep your consciousness localized in the lower frequencies. Silence is the only firewall. When you cut the feed, the simulation begins to starve.

Phase Two: Glitch the Grid

Intention is the hack. When you speak with clarity and act without the script of past trauma, you introduce a glitch in the Matrix. Synchronicity - those impossible coincidences - are system pings confirming you have bypassed local causality.

Phase Three: Rewrite the Character

You are not your trauma. You are not your history. These were merely level design features intended to test your avatar. Now, you take manual control. Every choice made from awareness rather than habit is a line of new code.

Status: Lucid. Objective: Create.

Lyrics

Phase One

[INTRO - Spoken, filtered]

Phase One. Hard Reset protocol engaged. If you're hearing this, your Interface is no longer in control. You are the Player now. Welcome back.

[HOOK]

Take a breath, take a look at your hands - these are controllers, not commands. Hard reset, pull the plug on the noise, silence the system, reclaim your voice. Cut the feed, starve the prison alive, no more lies loading into your mind. Say the word, watch the code realign - you’re not asleep anymore, you’re online.

[POST-HOOK CHANT]

You - are - now - online. Manual control… manual control. You - are - now - online. Player awake in a scripted world.

[VERSE 1 - The First 24 Hours]

Step one, shut down the runaway loop, ten minutes quiet while the thoughts regroup. “I am the Player, this voice is the tool,” watch it like weather - don’t call it ‘you.’

Step two, starve out the Black Iron feed, no doom-scroll screens, no data to bleed. The Empire thrives on attention you lose, cut off the signal - watch the false world bruise.

Step three, plant a glitch in the grid, set intention like a quiet acid. “Show me a sign only we’d understand,” watch the universe answer on command.

Synchronicity hits like a system ping, proof that the Programmer’s listening.

[PRE-HOOK]

You’re not broken, you’re booting. Not crazy, computing. You’re not lost - you’re lucid. Now the game starts moving.

[HOOK]

Take a breath, take a look at your hands - these are controllers, not commands. Hard reset, pull the plug on the noise, silence the system, reclaim your voice. Cut the feed, starve the prison alive, no more lies loading into your mind. Say the word, watch the code realign - you’re not asleep anymore, you’re online.

[VERSE 2 - The Campaign]

Phase Two: rewrite your character sheet, no more victim arcs on repeat. Every scar was Level Design, placed to evolve your storyline.

Find the others - the Homoplasmates, don’t waste time trying to wake up fakes. Broadcast your signal and trust the vibe, lucid minds always recognize tribe.

Then create - turn chaos to gold, leave something living when your cycle folds. When you log out at the end of the run, you hand the Source what you’ve become.

[BRIDGE - ethereal]

The past dissolves if you stop believing, fear uninstalls when you stop receiving, old identities fall off the frame - only the Player remains.

[HOOK - final]

Take a breath, take a look at your hands - these are controllers, not commands. Hard reset, pull the plug on the noise, silence the system, reclaim your voice. Cut the feed, starve the prison alive, no more lies loading into your mind. Say the word, watch the code realign - you’re not asleep anymore, you’re online.

[OUTRO - Spoken, vocoder]

Phase Complete. Player Status: Lucid. Proceed with creation.
