Et Tu, Timeline?
Comedy swing fused with glitch-hop and eletro swing , playful male vocals, upright bass swing groove, muted trumpet and trombone stabs, jazz piano, brushed drums mixed with glitchy percussion, record scratches and digital stutters, Roman-flavored textures (frame drums, hand claps, lyre/harp motifs, low horns evoking ancient fanfares), humorous theatrical delivery, bouncy tempo with time-warp effects

Lyrics
Intro – vinyl crackle, lyre plucks, muted trumpet, glitch rewind
Okay—
Time says it’s 44 BC.
My watch says… error.
Classic.
Verse 1 – talk-rap swing, upright bass + jazz piano
Dropped my TARDIS in a marble street
Sandals everywhere, no Uber, no beat
Guy in a toga says “Hail, my friend!”
I say “Nice fit, bro—when does Wi-Fi end?”
There he is, crown of laurel leaf
Big Julius C, tall résumé
Crossed the Rubicon, made history flex
Didn’t cross the Senate—bad next step
Pre-Chorus – half-sung, brass build, frame drum taps
They say “Beware the Ides,” sounds ominous, right?
I set a reminder—forgot to hit “snooze tonight”
Progress bar loading, fate buffering slow
History’s screaming “Don’t go, don’t go!”
Chorus – catchy, comedic, call-and-response
Et tu, timeline? Et tu?
I blink once and the future’s through
One small stab for a bunch of men
One giant plot twist for the Roman trend
Hey! Julius, read the room!
When friends say “meeting,” check the doom
Et tu, timeline? Et tu?
I time-hop once—now I’m in a meme or two
Verse 2 – faster rap, glitch hats, trumpet hits
Forum buzzing like a comment thread
Bread and circuses, dopamine fed
Invented roads that still don’t quit
But forgot the part where knives don’t fit
Senate claps like a slow jazz jam
I hear footsteps—this is not the plan
Brutus smiling like “Trust me, pal”
That smile says “Spoilers,” that’s not legal now
Pre-Chorus – mock wisdom, choir hum + lyre
Empires rise on stone and pride
Then trip on egos wearing inside
Write it in Latin, carve it in gold
Still ends with “oops” when the story’s told
Chorus – bigger, gang vocals, glitch drops
Et tu, timeline? Et tu?
I watched the patch notes fall right through
Built aqueducts, laws, and might
Forgot the update called “friends with knives”
Hey! Julius, step aside!
When fate’s got lag, don’t press “commit”
Et tu, timeline? Et tu?
Ancient Rome just rage-quit too
Bridge – breakdown, spoken comedy over piano + hand claps
I tried to warn him—
But my Latin’s stuck on Duolingo Day Three.
“All roads lead to Rome,” they said.
Yeah.
Including bad decisions.
sudden glitch stop
…Ave?
Nah.
Verse 3 – laid-back swing, bass walking, digital bloops
Wrote calendars, named a month real bold
“July”—nice flex, still got old
Gave us law, debate, dramatic flair
Also taught us meetings need better chairs
Time traveler lesson, etched in stone:
Don’t trust vibes when the knives are known
If history’s great but ends too soon
That’s just legacy with a pratfall tune
Pre-Chorus – ironic confidence, brass swell
Every era thinks it’s peak design
Till tomorrow roasts it, one punchline
I’ll tip my hat to the marble stage
Then hop three seconds to avoid that page
Final Chorus – full swing, horns + glitch chaos
Et tu, timeline? Et tu?
One empire down, déjà vu
Big ideas, small human flaws
That’s Rome, baby—applause, applause
Hey! Traveler, write it clean:
Greatness slips on banana peels unseen
Et tu, timeline? Et tu?
I set the dial—see you in the sequel, Rome 2.0
Outro – lyre fade, trumpet sigh, tape rewind
History’s wild.
Time’s fragile.
I’m late again.
