Slow Code’s “Company Man” plays like a bittersweet negotiation between intimacy and disillusionment. The verses move with confessions about needing space, holding on while drifting away, while the chorus delivers the sharp turn: love reimagined as labour, and the self reduced to a “company man”. It’s a cutting metaphor for the way devotion can start to feel transactional, where once-earnest affection becomes routine, even corporate.
