Lyrics

I Ain’t Going Back

[Verse 1]

We met when I was young
You were silver, clean, and bright
You made the hard parts easy
And everything felt right

Command felt like home
Spotlight knew my tracks
But somewhere down the line, babe
We started losing that

[Pre-Chorus]

Now every little change
Means another pane to find
Privacy, Security
Then scroll down one more time

You say you’re keeping me safe
And maybe that is true
But darling, if I own this thing
Why do I need you to approve?

[Chorus]

So I ain’t going back
Back to the Mac
I packed up all my dotfiles
And I’m not looking back

We had some good years
But they've began to crack
I found something better
And I ain’t going back

[Verse 2]

Preferences became Settings
Every menu grew and grew
You used to feel beside me
Now I feel managed by you

I thought the leap would hurt
Downloading drivers, a weekend lost
But Omarchy just started
Without making me pay the cost

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, sound and keys
Everything fell into place
And suddenly my computer
Had a little breathing space

[Chrous]
So I ain’t going back
Back to the Mac
I packed up all my dotfiles
And I’m not looking back

You can change your CEO
And keep your share prices on track
But I found the fun I thought I’d lost
And I ain’t going back

[Bridge]

"It’s just Arch with dotfiles"
“You’ll come crawling home”
“It’s far too opinionated”
But so am I, Leave me alone!

So bring on themes & plugins
Turn down all the glass
My computer finally does the things
I asked for in the past

[Breakdown]

I tried to make it work, love
You were home for half my life
I put my feelings to the side
like the settings you try to hide

But somewhere between “Allow”
And “Open Anyway”
I realised I missed the joy
That slowly slipped away

It ain’t about the hype
It ain’t even about Arch
it's about having fun again
And Omarchy relit the spark

[Final Chorus]
So I ain’t going back
Back to the Mac
I packed up all my dotfiles
And I’m not looking back

So here’s to the crazy ones
To thinking different and all that
You've become Orwell’s ’84
So I ain’t going back

[whispers at the end]
That 512GB M5 Ultra Mac studio though... damn.
