The Theory He Built from a Bus (Albert Einstein)

Albert Einstein

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your mind bent space like light through a prism,
cortical remapping firing in rhythms—
you held the universe in your equations,
tongue loose with wonder, hair wild with elation.
Each synapse branching, each thought a collision,
you rewired everything with one permission:
that energy and matter are intertwined,
that God plays dice inside the human mind.

[Chorus]
You turned the invisible visible,
made the impossible inevitable,
your restless hands scribbling the blueprint
of how the cosmos spins.
You showed us gravity's whisper,
relativity's grip,
and we learned to think in dimensions
we never knew existed.

[Verse 2]
Your mirror neurons fired when you imagined—
those predictive loops, axonal highways blazing,
you could see what others couldn't see,
feel the mathematics moving through your body.
Long-term potentiation in every stroke,
each symbol cementing like neurons spoke,
your myelinated pathways burning bright,
translating spacetime into pure delight.

[Chorus]
You turned the invisible visible,
made the impossible inevitable,
your restless hands scribbling the blueprint
of how the cosmos spins.
You showed us gravity's whisper,
relativity's grip,
and we learned to think in dimensions
we never knew existed.

[Bridge]
Your theta waves humming at the frequency of creation,
hippocampal consolidation storing revelation—
you dreamed in equations, lived in wonder,
split the atom and split us asunder.
But this is joy: that you asked, that you reached,
that your hungry neurons taught us to teach.

[Chorus]
You turned the invisible visible,
made the impossible inevitable,
your restless hands scribbling the blueprint
of how the cosmos spins.
You showed us gravity's whisper,
relativity's grip,
and we learned to think in dimensions
we never knew existed.

[Outro]
E equals mc-squared scratched on your blackboard forever—
the simplest proof that nothing stays separate,
that light itself is the love letter written through us all.
