Lyrics
I don’t want to be an engineer
I tried so hard and got so far
And now I can’t decide
All my life I’ve given my career
These numbers in my head
Keep on spinning round and round, yeahI can only guess
What’s right? Should I stay
Three more years
Just to waste away?
Become a slave to all these numbers?
It’s overdue, all this stress
Yet I say I’m fine…Working overtime
Tryna finish this in time
Got myself into this mess
Can I really pass this test, yeah
XYZ yeah teach me how to breathe
I’m suffocating deep inside
I can’t deny just want to quit
All my life I failed…
To be the one to meet those expectations
All my life I tried…
Now all this stress to fill those answersABC finding all these numbers, numbers
Integrate differentiate
It’s getting old, yeah

Lyrics
Somehow I’ve fallen down again
Got to pick myself before I fall again
Can’t keep myself from falling down
Floating aimlessly, I’m tired of all this workSitting on my desk
Got myself another test
I’m scared
Tryna catch my breath
Got to get myself in check
Oh wellEven though I tried, I’m not like the other girls
Anxiety is pulling me, I’m too afraid to let it go
All the other girls seem to have it figured out
Someone tell me how
Just procrastinate and let it goIf only I could guess
What’s right should I stay
Three more years just to waste away
Become a slave to all these numbers
It’s overdue, it’s overdue, yet I say I’m fineWorking overtime
Tryna finish this in time
Got myself into this mess
Now I got to pass this test yeah
XYZ yeah teach me how to breathe
I’m falling underneath got to get myself another day
All my life I tried
To be the one to fill those expectations
All my life I failed
Now all that’s left is all too much nowSitting on my desk
Got myself another test
I’m scared
Tryna do my best

Just another ghost that day
Come and take a closer look yeah
It’s been a while

(Unsolved) Code on the screen
At 10:21, part of a program is shown on screen, in Linowrite font with 0.26 letter spacing:
The code showcases usage of the MessageMedia NodeJS SDK, which is a JavaScript library for sending and receiving SMS and MMS.
With this context, it’s possible to recover the missing parts of the program:
const lib = require('messagemedia-messages-sdk');
var controller = lib.MessagesController;
let body = new lib.SendMessagesRequest();
body.messages = [];
body.messages[0] = new lib.Message();
body.messages[0].content = 'save me...';
body.messages[0].destinationNumber ='DQ5z14ighWwlag7y+cWFQg==';
controller.sendMessages(body, function(error, response, context) {
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
console.log(response);
}
});
The destination number is a Base64-encoded string. When decrypted using
the same key used for Numbers, the phone number can be
decrypted to a British phone number: +44 7537 130663
. No further
progress has been made.
