Pre-ChorusBut some paths don’t cut, some edits don’t stay,Some guides look loud in a misleading way,So we build a mirror to tell what is real,A surrogate sign that the cells can reveal. ChorusFilter the noise, find the signal in the flood,Let the clean edits rise up in the blood,Keep what works, let the dead ends go,In the native code where the true things show.Filter the noise, find the signal tonight,From uncertain lines to a verdict of light. Verse 2We co-select survivors, tighten the screen,Watch function scores paint the places between,Some changes break splices, some silence a gene,Some turn a warning into something seen. BridgeNot every guide can carry the weight,Not every readout can settle the fate,But when the proxy and the genome agree,We map what matters, variant by variant, free. Final ChorusFilter the noise, find the signal in the flood,Let the clean edits rise up in the blood,Name the harmful, spare the unsure,Give the next test something sharp and pure.Filter the noise, find the signal tonight,From a thousand maybes to a path that’s right.
