Lyrics:
I don't need to take your actions
Heard it times before
I will take it through your macro
Operations on the floor now
I don't need to take your actions
Heard it times before
I will take it through your macro
Operations on the floor now
Heard it times before
Operations on the floor now
I don't need to take your actions
I will take it through your macro

I know the original Macro is technically 2006 but It'll always be a Kitsune² song to me.

Very optional thing to - to read. While walking around the dorms replaying this many times in the AM before it was public, a sort of relationship between the songs started to form, based on the characters behind them. Basically an idea formed, and kept forming, so I went along with it.
I'm going to use the formal names Emoticon (for Furries in a Blender) and Josh (for Kitsune^2) because it feels more natural.
Josh Ratley is Kitsune^2's real name, canonically.
I imagine that the songs sort of each respond to the previous one, the first two being Josh sort of having a conversation with himself. The first version of Macro being a reflection of anxiety or not believing his work was good, or anything that may tug and rag on someone like that. These lyrics are a little incorrect (but still somewhat fit the sounds) to show this:
I don't need to take your actions
^Doesn't need to take the abuse of whatever's bothering him
Heard these lies before
^It's a constant cycle of falsehoods, yet it will not let go
I will take it through your macro
^He will stand against the might of these feelings
Operations on the floor now
^The thoughts feel so strong they almost seem planned, or expertly crafted
Then, I imagine that the second version he released is wordless as a sort of "I'm just not going to worry about you and enjoy myself and my art", sort of being independent from the thoughts, but not actually managing to solve them
Then Emoticon's remix. It has a couple of stark differences to 2007
-2007 feels incredibly strong, but the words are muffled and the song feels extreme in a way that seems almost destructive. [I love this musically]
-Emoticon's remix is strong but in a different way. It feels confident, sure, and powerful. The words are much, much clearer. His voice has a comforting tone to me.
Idea is that he made the remix for Josh specifically - Emoticon is echoing Josh’s words back to him, but now directed at Josh himself
I don't need to take your actions
^Emoticon will not accept Josh’s negative thoughts about himself as true or worthy
Heard it times before*
^He has heard Josh talk about himself negatively multiple times
I will take it through your macro
Operations on the floor now
^He's cutting through the anxiety as hard as he can to get through to Josh
