Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Electrons hunger, battery bleeds away
Thermal sensors whisper warnings through the silicon maze
Clock speed tumbling down from gigahertz to crawl
DVFS equations dancing, voltage takes the fall
Peripherals go silent, USB ports sleep tight
While interrupt handlers dream of morning's digital light

[Chorus]
Scale down, shut down, wake up clean
Power states between the scenes
C-zero running, C-three deep
Governor decides how long we sleep
ACPI knows the thermal dance
Give your battery one more chance

[Verse 2]
Temperature climbing past the safety zone
Throttling kicks in, saves the microphone
DMA controllers pause their endless streams
While cache hierarchies flush their silicon dreams
GPIO pins surrender, SPI buses rest
PMU orchestrates this power-saving fest

[Chorus]
Scale down, shut down, wake up clean
Power states between the scenes
P-states dropping voltage low
C-states where the circuits go
ACPI knows the thermal dance
Give your battery one more chance

[Bridge]
Interrupt arrives like lightning strike
Wake-up latency spikes
Milliseconds matter when the system stirs
Performance counters blur

[Verse 3]
Dynamic governors weigh the trade-offs well
Conservative, powersave, ondemand can tell
When workload surges, frequencies climb
But idle detection buys us precious time
Suspend to RAM or hibernate to disk
Calculate the power-performance risk

[Chorus]
Scale down, shut down, wake up clean
Power states between the scenes
Thermal envelope stays in bound
While megahertz comes tumbling down
ACPI knows the thermal dance
Give your battery one more chance

[Outro]
Milliwatts preserved
For circuits yet unserved
