Summary
Terms of Care turns the language of support and concern into something closer to a governed framework. Care here is not pure gift or relationship; it arrives with categories, tolerances, procedures, and boundaries. The title deliberately echoes the bureaucratic and platform-like habit of formalising what ought to feel more human than contractual.
Lyrics
History
This track sits firmly in the release's mature procedural register. Its specific seed history is less important than its structural role in the album: showing that care itself becomes system-language inside this world.
Meaning
The song is about the managed conditions under which care is delivered. It suggests that once care becomes formal system function, it also becomes something that can be limited, standardised, withdrawn, or rendered conditional.
