Translation Notes

↑ ギコる is slang for being addicted to the internet and ギコ猫 - gikoneko - is a famous ASCII cat emoticon. I think it ties in well with the computer theme of the song, but I went with giko as in the onomatopoeia for cutting wood with a saw because of the "pruning" part. It's also worth mentioning that the translation is similar to the sound a literal bug makes, such as a bee or a fly.
↑ Crack! as in the onomatopoeia for something splitting in half.
↑ I'M SORRY, I KNOW THIS SOUNDS CURSED. But an'yo is a baby-way of saying "feet" or "walk" so I ran with it. Additionally, speaking with a Native Japanese speaker, they noted that the usage of baby-talk invoked the imagery of talking to a young child. They also agreed it could be denoting of someone "going crazy" as per the verse.
↑ Runtime lag refers to the lagging of a program during the time it is supposed to be up and working.
