Take the L (When the Messages Go Dry)

A buoyant, deadpan song about recognizing when a chat has gone cold. It starts with “me when the messages start sounding weird and dry” 1, folds in the feeling of giving too much effort for what you’re receiving 2, and lands on the clean, self-protective hook “whenever someone stops talking to me i just take the L” 3.

Listen when a group chat goes quiet, a reply arrives with no pulse, or you need a small reset without making it a whole thing.
