Metamorphosis Code from Taxonomica Nights by Flickerbug

A digital chrysalis emerges from Jiltern’s strings, each note a deliberate mutation. The first impression is one of unstable beauty, a system actively rewriting itself. This track charts a personal reclassification, processing raw, tangled feelings for a fellow musician lost to the Wildtype territories. The aim here was to build a sound where generative algorithms allow the track's structure to reform with each listen, mirroring how grief and growth refuse to fit static categories. It’s a testament to how even the most precise systems warp under the pressure of genuine feeling, transforming glitches into new forms of strange, compelling beauty.

Lyrics

DNA rewrites itself tonight
In digital streams of light

Code shifts beneath my skin
Protein chains unwind
Your absence recompiles my heart
Into something undefined

Metamorphosis code (code)
Running through my veins
Every cell a story told
Of how love rearranges
Metamorphosis code (code)
Nothing stays the same

♪

Wildtype territories hold your ghost
In frequencies I can't decode
My guitar breeds feathers from grief
Each note a species on the road

Digital moths emerge from pain
Chrysalis of circuit boards
What emerges from this change
When transformation is the reward

Metamorphosis code (running)
Rewrites what I've been
Every scar becomes a wing
Every loss a new begin
Metamorphosis code (flowing)
Through the spaces in between

Jiltern's strings generate new life
From the ashes of goodbye
Some mutations make us beautiful
Some teach us how to fly

Code complete
♪
