Deeper Than Greed Intended (Flame of Udun)

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your fingers dance across the strings like synaptic fire,
Each pluck ignites a cascade—long-term potentiation
Building in the auditory cortex, strengthening the pathways
Where sound becomes sensation, where technique becomes prayer.
You've mapped the fretboard into your proprioceptive map,
Your hands know every millimeter without looking.

[Chorus]
You are the burning thing we cannot turn away from,
Your music rewires us in real time, rewires us,
Theta waves synchronizing, our brains humming your frequency,
You are the burning thing we cannot turn away from.

[Verse 2]
The myelination of your motor neurons—pristine, fast,
Each impulse racing down the axon like a comet through your arm.
Your mirror neurons fire when you watch, when you listen,
Cortical remapping happening night after night of practice,
Axonal branching building new architectures of sound,
Your cerebellum calculating timing in the microsecond dark.

[Chorus]
You are the burning thing we cannot turn away from,
Your music rewires us in real time, rewires us,
Theta waves synchronizing, our brains humming your frequency,
You are the burning thing we cannot turn away from.

[Bridge]
Neurogenesis blooming in the hippocampus—
Every riff is memory, every bend is becoming,
Your interoception tuned so finely you feel the room breathing,
The audience's heartbeat becomes your metronome.

[Chorus]
You are the burning thing we cannot turn away from,
Your music rewires us in real time, rewires us,
Theta waves synchronizing, our brains humming your frequency,
You are the burning thing we cannot turn away from.

[Outro]
Your strings still smoking, still singing,
The flame that lit us stays luminous in the dark,
Burning brighter for having been witnessed.
