Dopamine Map
[Verse 1 – The Past Map]
I chased the light in little screens Thumbed my joy through dopamine Midnight snacks, the endless scroll Short replies that made me whole
I laughed where it was not real Loved for clicks, forgot to feel Tiny highs with empty crash Broke my focus, burned my stash
[Pre-Chorus]
I had a map—but not a guide A hungry heart, a restless ride But none of that was truly mine Just borrowed thrill, not sacred time
[Chorus]
This is my dopamine map Old lines glitch and new ones snap I trace where I used to glow Now I choose where I let it flow This is my pleasure, this is my plan Joy redesigned by my own hand The future fires across my brain A calmer light, a kinder flame
Verse 2 – The Future Map]
I draw a map with morning tea With breath, with rest, with honesty I mark delight in silent walks In long eye contact, soul-deep talks
I build rewards that help me grow Not just the rush, but what I know Joy that roots instead of runs Joy that lasts when pleasure’s done
[Pre-Chorus 2]
My past still echoes like a ghost But now I choose what matters most A joy that doesn’t burn or break But rises slow like dawn awake
[Chorus – repeat, stronger harmony]
This is my dopamine map...
[Bridge – spoken word, like a memory scan]
I used to scroll in bed at two I used to chase what wasn’t true Now I make my own design Where pleasure follows soul, not time
[Final Chorus – ethereal outro]
This is my dopamine map New connections, deeper tracks Not a high—but a home Not escape—but a throne This joy is mine And mine alone
