I noticed it was phrased like code, honestly, but i figured she was just trying to phrase it as dry as possible. Which results in the question "what's the difference" π
I also noticed Mili uploaded a github repo under the song's name. I didn't look to see what it was about though π

also, hi programmer here, the lyrics of the song are quite literally a script, a program. it's obvious in the version of the song on Mili's channel where they're showed directly as code but the song does an amazing job of translating the code into lyrics.
as a programmer it catches my usual thought process when programming really well, I think of what the code would sound like if I were to convert it to words, a command.
"if condition, then X"
IF(condition) {X();}
"if I can feel your vibrations, then I can be completion"
\/(stolen from video on Mili's channel) \/
IF(me.getSenseIndex("vibration") ) {me.addFeeling("complete");}.
[note from Jordan: the quotations around vibration implies it is a string, a word, which is not a native concept to the code but can be searched for as a variable within the environment, honestly this might've just been a lazy excuse to make the lyrics fit but knowing Mili I'm almost sure it isn't and it's definitely a great choice]
honestly I love how it seems like whoever did the lyrics for this song really did learn programming just to write the lyrics for it
this video aswell does a great job explaining some little details with the music that I would've never noticed. like how the music sounds like it's on a wave, and how mathematical the song instruments can sound. programming is highly mathematical, so I'm glad catharsis was able to spot it through the lyrics.
definitely a great analysis, I learned quite a lot that I never would've noticed before :D
