## Escape - The Nostr Colada Song
I was fed up with tired timelines
Scrolling past the same old song,
A loop of curated moments
That I'd been trapped in too long.
So while my feed kept loading
I closed the app in my hand,
And in an open protocol
Found a new place to land.
If you like quiet timelines
And servers you can't own
If you're tired of algorithms
Telling you what you've known
If you like honest posting at midnight
No ads and no fake
Then I'm the switch that you've been needing
Join Nostr and escape
I didn't mind the old feed much
I know that sounds kinda cold
But me and my tired timeline
Had settled into the same scroll of old
So I tapped a blank profile
Posted an anonymous ad
And though I'm no crypto prophet
I thought this one might not be bad
Yes, I want quiet networks
No tracking, no loud game
I'm not big on spotlight posts
I just want less of the same
Meet me on a new relay by noon
And cut through all this fake
At a client called Amethyst or Damus
Where we'll plan our escape
So I waited with low hopes
And someone joined the thread
I knew their handle at once
I knew the tone they said
It was my own old follower
And they typed, "Oh, it's you"
Then we both hit unsubscribe
And I said, "I never knew"
That you wanted fed-less timelines
And posts that don't invade
And the thrill of a distributed stream
With no ads to persuade
If you like honest posting at midnight
And keys that you can save
You're the user I've been searching
Come with me and escape
If you like quiet timelines
And servers you can't own
If you're done with algorithms
If you want back your brain
If you like direct messages at midnight
And posts that feel the same
Then I'm the switch that you've been waiting
Write your key and escape
Yes, I want quiet networks
No tracking, no loud game
I'm not big on influencer posts
I just want less of the same
Meet me on a new relay by noon
And cut through all this ultra fake
At a client called Iris or Primal
Where we'll plan our escape
