Burn Baby Burn (Y2K Edition)

by charbel   Jul 5, 2026



Downloaded songs the whole damn night
Picked the tracks and got them right
Linkin Park and Blink-182
This CD was made for you

Named the files and fixed the tags
Spent my savings buying packs
Blank CDs were gold back then
Time to burn... and pray again

Burn baby burn, don't fail tonight
I've waited hours to get this right
Fifteen songs and one blank disc
At ninety-nine percent... existential risk

Burn baby burn, don't make me cry
One small error and dreams will die
Nero's working, fans all spin
Please don't tell me... start again

Progress bar is looking good
Ninety-eight, just like it should
Ninety-nine...

...screen turns red

Write Error

Soul has left the body.

Burn baby burn, one final try
Another CD has said goodbye
Twenty years have passed us by
But we still hear the drive's old cry

???? Bzzzzzzzzzz...
